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
