Popular Songs Of 1974

Much as I did with my "Popular Songs Of 1964" post a few days ago, I've gathered some of the most popular songs recorded in 1974. Forty years ago, my parents were married, and four years later I arrived on the scene. And yet, I know almost of these songs as though they weren't "before my time." How many of these do you remember?  ~  JH



1)  Joni Mitchell  ~  "Help Me"




2)  Eagles  ~  "Best Of My Love"




3)  Carly Simon  ~  "Haven't Got Time For The Pain"




4)  The Hollies  ~  "The Air That I Breathe"




5)  Barbra Streisand  ~  "The Way We Were"
