Single Of The Day Mel McDaniel "God Made Love"

Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always on the turntable and in the CD player.  Today, we remember one of the early hits from Mel McDaniel.

Twenty-five times in the 1970′s and 1980′s, you could find Mel on the Country 40, including today’s Single Of The Day.  Mel’s first appearance came with 1977′s “All The Sweet”.  ”God Made Love” was his fourth entry on Capitol, debuting in January, 1978.  The ballad became his most successful single, to that point, as it just missed becoming his first top ten hit, peaking at eleven.  Mel wouldn’t get that close to the top ten, again, until Spring, 1981, when he finally broke through with “Louisiana Saturday Night”, the first of nine top ten hits.

Your thoughts?

Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
