I started a couple threads in here about 70s music. One is about hits and other songs that you somehow missed, back in the day. The other is about songs that got horrendously overplayed and ate up the airwaves. Seems we have a bunch of 70s-philes…MY PEOPLE! Rock on, ooh, ma soul! I propose to show a little love for songs that got it right, in your humble opinion. I’m talkin’ 'bout tunes that never got their due, that would make you turn up the radio even today…maybe they’re guilty pleasures or maybe that you just never tire of from that halcyon days between the 60s and the 80s. One(derful) hit wonders welcome. Bring on those blasts from the past! But wait, if you act now you can avoid shipping and COD! I’m allowing a cheat. That is, post a song that didn’t quite arrive in the 1970s or maybe arrived a little to the party. 1967? 1982? Bring’em on! As near as most of us remember, it was 70ish and that’s good enough. If you label, you might avoid hassling from fellow dopers…'cause they might not think you know it wasn’t technically the 70s! Hey, didn’t we all attend the Freedom School with Billy Jack? I’m just concerned that someone…might…go…BERSERK! Youtube or other links appreciated but not required. I’ll start. Sweet City Woman/The Stampeders (bon, c’est bon…) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/0IRjl3SWC2U/hqdefault.jpg "The Stampeders - Sweet City Woman") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IRjl3SWC2U) Feel Like Makin’ Love/Roberta Flack [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acl38RlPMns) Go All the Way/Raspberries: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VG2e0z0h4I) Dancin’ in the Moonlight/King Harvest [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMc8naeeSS8) Beach Baby/First Class [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XG8MQ8f4nF4/hqdefault.jpg "The First Class - Beach Baby") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG8MQ8f4nF4) My cheat: Born to Be Wild/Steppenwolf (1968).

Yeah, I can’t get over the 70’s. Just last week I decided to play “Hot Child in the City.” Then me and the guy started to have “Afternoon Delight.” My husband came home and I couldn’t hide my lyin’ eyes. I yelled “Run Joey, Run” but it was too late. My OL’ man wouldn’t give him three steps and the next thing you knew, he saw the dreaded “Stairway to Heaven” ---

Dang you guys are killing me. At least every other song reminds me of a date or a friend from the 70’s (yeah definately old here). Layla, damn. ---

Aha! Even apathy can’t stop us! Good links. I have a real weakness for concert footage on Youtube. Most of my clips I post here are of live music. . .and so, here are some more. Taking a cue from Lobotomyboy’s list: Chicago- “Make Me Smile”, in concert. It’s raw footage. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzViV6PUOSM) Chicago- “Colour my World”, live. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/WJIiWpgZ3nE/hqdefault.jpg "Chicago- Colour My World- LIVE 1977") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJIiWpgZ3nE) 25 or 5 to 4-Live. Video’s not great, but a good performance. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/0BxZ3_7kk00/hqdefault.jpg "Chicago- 25 or 6 to 4 -LIVE 1977") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BxZ3_7kk00) Damn, I love Terry Kath’s guitar and vocals. See my earlier post in this thread for Chicago’s, “I’m A Man.” I’m not going to cheat. I’m gonna set fire to the rules and stomp all over the charred ashes with this next pick. Not close to being done in the 70’s, not a 70’s sound, and recorded in Russia, here is one of my all-time favorite harmonica pieces. Too good not to tell EVERYONE about.

Most of my bookmarks on YouTube are 70s music. Here is one picked at random: [Roberta Flack: Killing My Softly](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mpqXu0z3wU) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-70s-are-gone-but-were-bringing-them-back-and-you-cant-stop-us/463383.md?page=2)
