Popular Songs Of 1975, Vol. 1

The fact that I am very familiar with most of the songs in this collection (and its follow-up post) has more to do with my affinity for a broad spectrum of music from all genres, styles, and eras than it does with my actual age. You see, we've now reached the point in music history that precedes my birth (by three years, but still...). If you remember when these songs first came out, that means you are at least in your mid-forties now, and probably even older since these songs themselves are forty years old. So sit back and relax, groove to some funky tunes, and laugh at the outrageous clothing and pervasive facial hair of the artists involved. Welcome to That '70s Post...  ~  JH

1)  Captain & Tennille  ~  "Love Will Keep Us Together"

2)  Glen Campbell  ~  "Rhinestone Cowboy"

3)  Elton John  ~  "Philadelphia Freedom"

4)  Frankie Valli  ~  "My Eyes Adored You"

5)  Earth, Wind, & Fire  ~  "Shining Star"

6)  Freddy Fender  ~  "Before The Next Teardrop Falls"

8)  Neil Sedaka  ~  "Laughter In The Rain"

9)  Eagles  ~  "One Of These Nights"

10)  John Denver  ~  "Thank God I'm A Country Boy"

11)  Minnie Riperton  ~  "Lovin' You"

17 Songs With "17" In The Title

And now for something completely different! Well, sort of different. It's still a bunch of songs linked together by a singular commonality – in this case, the fact that the number "17" (or its written form, "Seventeen") is contained within the title of each of these 17 songs. What makes this post somewhat different is that, in contrast with recent posts on this blog, it is neither a collection of popular songs from a certain year nor is it an "Opposites" music post. Otherwise, it's the same. Enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  Familia  ~  "Seventeen"

2)  Yourcodenameis:milo  ~  "17"

3)  Janis Ian  ~  "At Seventeen"

4)  Grenade Jumper  ~  "Seventeen"
