Worst Music of All-Time

Chesky also has some very good music, want to make it clear that not all of them are bad. Watch out for their original artists, the ones that no other label will take. I suspect Rankin is a rich kid that probably PAID Chesky to make the recording, its gotta be the only explanation.

Too many to mention and life is short enough trying to find the really good music and recordings. I can think of one though on Chesky that really pissed me off because one of Stereophile's yahoo music reviewers, can't remember who and don't want to, recommended it (early 90's), I stopped buying recommended Chesky recordings after this one. They have some real dogs. The dude's name is Kenny Rankin and the album is "Because of You" his phrasing sucks, his interpretations suck, and last but far from least his voice really sucks. I have truly heard much better singing in a Karioke bar by guys three sheet's to the wind, myself included. I play it on occasion to demonstrate "image focus, depth and soundstaging" of the system but no one cares "TURN IT OFF G DAMM IT! . I better stop now, I'm starting to get peed all over again.

Thecommodore Do you mean "Afternoon Delight" by ? can't remember who but they also did "Hitchin a Ride" I loved those tunes with a "hook"!

Is it Vanity Fair?

Well Albert thanks for all the details I'll certainly remember next time I'm playing music trivia. I'm sure all the "Fat City" and Bill & Taffy fans out there in Audiogon land will welcome it, just kidding but I couldn't resist. I always did get Starland Vocal Band mixed up with Vanity Fair they both had that same breezy soft summer pop sound. When you said the year I then remembered Vanity Fair was late 60's & early 70's with "Hitchin a Ride" and a few others long forgotten except to those still clamoring for the stations that still play it.
