Record of the Year Revisited: 1971

Original Record of the Year: Congregation - Softly Whispering I Love You

One thing I've learned I like in music is a mixture of 2 things that are completely contradictory to each other. In the case of my record of year for 1971 it was melodic sound of the choir singing followed by a man with a powerful and quite rough voice taking over.

Is this concept enough for this record to hold onto it's crown?

Absolutely. I don't think there's a record of the 70s that I listen to more than this one. I would probably pick it as my record of the decade it's that good.
