Andy Kim ~ Rock Me Gently 1974 Disco Purrfection Version

[@lewiscarey1593]

Must be something great about this song: when at the young age of 64, I am rockin' gently to this song!!! Aaahhh the memories!! Thanx Andy👍👍😁😁😁

[@Autostade67]

I have listened to several 'Disco Purrfection' remixes - always a pleasure - but I have to hand it to this particular mix which takes the original single track and mixes it seamlessly with the instrumental B-side. Incredibly blended. Really stunning stuff.

[@DJDiscoCat]

thanks, this one took a while to complete, the sonics of the single vocal and instrumental version were not the same. I had to jiggle around a lot to make it sound right, but I think it came out ok. Thanks and hope you will keep checking me out here...

[@RobustRobots]

Nice mix.

[@CVBASEBALLCARDCOLLECTOR]

Yup, totally agree!!

[@jerrykapernick3711]

F**king Awesome, best song ever, never get tired of listening to this jam

[@hattiem.7966]

Love this version and the story ( here on YT ) of how Andy recorded the song in LA etc.It's a neat story.

[@mikehanson7330]

There are NO “fell good” songs at all…. For many years… few alternatives, but no pop. This is the perfect song and mix! Yay!!

[@richardperkins695]

as a dj from the 70s...in my opinion this is the greatest pop record ever recorded...

[@joannegreaves1310]

Totally agree! It's my ultimate favourite.

[@b.k.r.doggielover5449]

@John Sluder After '80's music, something was lost. My opinion. When 1990 music started, I remember feeling that way. Like, "What happened to the music?"

[@teddyritola2655]

@@b.k.r.doggielover5449 What does this song have to do with the 80s ? This was 1974,

[@b.k.r.doggielover5449]

@@teddyritola2655 I'm talking about '70's and '80's music in general. Music changed for me in the '90's. It just wasn't the same. I was born in 1962 and enjoyed music from the '50's too. My parents played albums and radio all the time. So '50's music was pretty good too.

[@Teacher-lj6in]

Awesome to hear this version!Bought the local as a kid -great memories of those days!

[@Morcaiden]

For years and years I thought this was a Neil Diamond song until I found a compilation with Andy Kim. Another '70s chesnut!

lol so did I

That's very understandable -- both have hairy chests, I can see the confusion. HA HA HA

[@dixonjazzy56]

I really like Andy Kim but I beat neil would have done a Monster version as well, to bad will ne v er know. I grew up in the 60's and 70's it was amazing! Not like the last 20 years.

What a tune. Back in the 70s and now. 😎🎶👍🏾

懐かしい アンディキム 1974年の曲です 良くリバイバルで 流れています やはり1970 年代の曲は最高です

[@craigblack7076]

To be brutally honest this (along with Sugar, Sugar) blows "Yesterday" & "Smells Like Teen Spirit" out of the water.

[@Johanna-xy9py]

Rock me gently..Rock me slowly..take it easy don't you know..that I have never been loved like this before....💘💘

[@hermananderson]

The original version is still too short! Thank you for stretching this classic to an amazing length!!!

[@randybixler9425]

I've always liked this song since the very first time I heard it class of 1974

[@AndyG13GLA]

R3: This one transports me back to being a kid on the school summer break. True it was everywhere. This is one wicked remix with so many highlights I couldn’t possibly pick one favourite. From it’s quiet, unassuming start to that climactic orgasm of a finale this mix is just the mutts nuts.

Yes I do believe u I live the 70'S u didn't ask I'm telling you Mr

[@Autostade67]

Mr. Kim is an under celebrated talent - but I sometimes wonder if the production of his vocals contributed to that 'awful' phenomenon known as 'instant radio': that stardom was/is often made by a voice/timbre so distinctive that it is recognized within a second or two (Anne Murray and Karen Carpenter are two period examples that come to mind) - often regardless of that singer's other talents. Phil Spector produced him to sound like John Lennon (intentionally?) in 'Baby, I Love You' - and here, yes, he can be mistaken for Neil Diamond to the uncultivated ear. Glad to see so many keep his music playing with these various posts.

As mentioned by others, this track has an awesome bassline. What I want to know is how in the world it wasn't Lee Sklar or Chuck Rainey? (BTW, it was Max Bennett, who was another great session bassist.) With Michael Omartian on keyboard, and Dean Parks and Larry Carlton on guitar, one would think that one of these gentlemen would have been on the bass! 😎
