"Anybody" Songs

Remember a few months ago when I was doing a quasi-series of posts featuring “Any-” words in their titles (e.g., “Anyway,” “Anytime,” “Anymore,” “Anything”) and I vowed to keep it going till I ran out of “Any-” words to post? Yeah, I barely remember that either. For what it’s worth, this is a continuation of that semi-series. Songs with “Anybody” in the title. And…GO!  ~  JH

Popular Songs Of 1976, Vol. 1

If my last few "Popular Songs Of..." posts haven't made you feel old yet, then this three-parter is sure to! Because these are the top songs of forty – count them, forty – years ago! If you remember these songs when they came out, you are old. It's time to face the facts. If you remember hearing them on the oldies or mix stations (like I do), then you are getting old (after all, '80s songs are the "new oldies" these days). Fair warning: There will be disco music, but not in excessive amounts. Everything in moderation. Enjoy?  ~  JH
