What songs from the 1970’s are on your playlist?

The 1970's were a great time for me, full of wonderful music to go along with the best decade of my life. So many songs to choose from, but I will start with one of my all time fav Fleetwood Mac songs "Go your own way" from the incredible Rumours album, recorded in 1977. I am pretty sure I wore this album out!!

Peter Frampton: Totally forgot about him in my post.  Chicago mid-70's was good but still prefer their earlier more jazzy style recordings.

For sure my favorite "If Only You Believe In Miracles" by Jefferson Airplane but I also need to add some disco tunes.

Although somewhat cheesy in retrospect: BeeGees' soundtracks from Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive.

 

You're So Vain: Carly Simon

 

Loving You: Minnie Ripperton

 

Waterloo: ABBA

 

Mid-70's "Philadelphia Sound": Spinners, Stylistics.  Anything written by Gamble/Huff and produced by Thom Bell.
