I love this but is it TOO 70's for the current youth?

I am thinking of the Jessie J & Robin Thicke Calling All Hearts which I thought would do better than it did.

I love it! Not sure if it's too 70's. It should do well.

Currently at #4 on US iTunes. It could smash in the UK as well...

I wouldn't say it's too 'anything' it's very 'retro' and suits me right down to the ground!

Mark Ronson - Version was a great album, imo, and Bruno Mars was like a guilty pleasure of mine back in 2010.

Uptown Funk is like a combined force to be reckoned with. I can see this going to #1 in the UK in January 2015 and also becoming one of next years biggest selling singles.

It's a great tune, as a 90s kid, I prefer 1970s/80s type songs, this is right up my street.

And I don't think it's "too 70s", these types of songs have done very well and have been received well by younger audiences. Get Lucky for example was like a throwback to the 1980s.. or was it 1990s? And that did very well. A lot of successful songs have been quite retro in the last couple of years.

I think if Jamiroquai would come back, it would do very well.. I think funk really is in at the moment. RnB is becoming less successful, and dance too... currently it's all about this sort of music now.

Just in case anyone wasn't aware, Ronson also performed this song "Feel Right" on Saturday Night Live which, I assume, will be on the same album.

I actually prefer it to Uptown Funk, but I really like both of them

I have not really like any of Bruno Mars' material since his opening album and the collaboration with B o B for 'Nothin on You.'

Bruno Mars has always been so hit and miss for me. I think "Locked Out Of Heaven" is one of the best pop songs of this century but "Uptown Funk" is a definite miss. I really hate that "funk" sound with a passion.

I like that they took a HUGELY popular rap song from last year and made it into a new song with an old school feel. I wonder what Trinidad James thinks about them recreating his song.
