Nope on BG5 and correct title but. . . you misnamed one of the best bands of the 70’s!
Jesus that last post didn’t make much sense, did it?
Lady Madonna isn’t the song I was thinking of and After the Love is Gone was not made by Kool & The Gang.
BG12-What used to be happy is sad
is After the Love Is Gone by Earth Wind & Fire
Woo-hoo! “Roundabout” by Yes.
5tc 6 I will remember you Your silhouette will charge the view - Roundabout - Yes

k8 - down on the sandflats, where nothing will grow
k9 - through an open window where no curtain hung
Earth, Wind, and Fire! Arggggghhhhhhh! I always loved their stuff, too - just seems I can’t remember their name!
Hmmm…if I can remember the title, is it cheating to check the band on Google?
suse 4) is “I Love the Night Life” by Alicia Bridges.
k9 - through an open window where no curtain hung
Coming Back to Me - Jefferson Airplane
This song is from the 1966, unless there is another song from the '70’s that has these words in the lyrics.

D’oh! That’s the 2nd (possibly 3rd) 60s song I’ve posted. :smack: Sorry!
Er, those years do tend to run together though (in what’s left of my my memory at least).
Oh, and welcome to the SDMB Quadrophenia!
Suse5) Answer to all answers I can find - Sweet Melissa - I think by Barry Manilow (??)
