I was born in 75' and somehow I know most of these songs and feel an immense nostalgia for music thatgo back 3-5 years before I was born. It's something I cant explain. Summer Breeze gives me a feeling no other song can.
Enjoyed this collection of teasers, I wish I had each one of these songs in complete version combined just like this video. Great job! Great memories!!
The 10 CC song that was here I loved and heard it every day on the radio and reminded me of the guy I was so in love with in junior high and he did not like me. Also David Gates was from my hometown of Tulsa Oklahoma and had huge hits on the radio as well. Fantastic video and thanks for posting it.
Some pretty cool songs. I wish you had put down the names of these artists. I'm 21, and I only recognized Carly Simon, The Bee Gees, and of course, the Carpenters.
Thanks if you guys saw a picture of me you wouldn't believe I was in to classic rock.
When I went to college all I listened to was rap. All the guys on the floor were listening to classic rock. I was walking down to my room and I asked a guy what was he listening to because it sounded good and he said here listen to this,it was Pink Floyd dark side of the moon and i was hooked...
LOL, I was born in '67 and all this time I thought the lead singer of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils ('Jackie Blue') was female - ah, growing up before MTV...
Is it true that many of these albums came packaged with a loaded gun so that one could kill oneself after having one's brain destroyed by this "music."
" Good-Time Rock & Roll " where HAVE YOU BEEN!!!... Seems so long ago and far away from 'here'! I so do miss the 'days' around the time I graduated from Citrus High School in 1972!!..... ( sniff' ).. What on earth are we doing in 'this' awful place!!!! ((2011))
i think 71 through to, and peaking at, 76 was the time for the soft ballad.The Eagles, America and Bread eased us through the early70's. Then i think music lost its way to the mighty dollar & the block buster albums from Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Supertramp, Al Stewart & The Eagles. These albums were absolutely flogged on the radio like never before.
Damn Carly Simon is good live. Great music. I was just a kid in the 70's. I can only imagine what it was like to be a teenager. Every day must have been like Caddyshack.
The guy who sang Brandy was Elliot Lurie, Steely Dan considered him a candidate for their lead singer originally, as Donald Fagen didn't care to sing because he didn't like his own voice, but he changed his mind and there you have it.

@greg4161 The 70's were the best decade ever for pop, hands down. The worst? The 80's, for sure. The 90's were good, the 00's not good, but not as bad as the 80's...
It's funny & even sad how we went from great soft rock like Billy Joel, Wings, America, Nick Lowe, Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, Al Stewart, Todd Rundgren, LRB, Ambrosia, Firefall, Player, 10cc, Gary Wright, Gerry Rafferty, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Paul Simon & James Taylor to very depressing soft rock from today like Coldplay, Maroon 5, Adele, Avril Lavigne, Colbie Caillat, Matthew Kearney, Keane, Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, Corrine Bailey Rae, Duffy, Katy Perry, Amy Winehouse, etc.
Looking back on 70's soft rock it wasn't so bad. A lot of these songs I never cared all that much for especially Bread, Seals & Crofts, England Dan & John Ford Coley, Gino Vannelli, the Carpenters & the Bee Gees, not to mention Air Supply, Olivia Newton John, Robbie Dupree & Christopher Cross in the 80's, but I have to say 70's & 80's soft rock is so much better than the so called soft rock from today. I mean cripes soft rock stations are playing Katy Perry, P!nk, Avril Lavigne & even Lady GaGa.
I love your intelligent, well thought out argument “You gotta be kidding!!!! lol” Do you seriously think the 70s was the peak of good music and nothing else is good? You are either particularly narrow minded, stuck in this era...or both.
this is one the best I have seen. That was the best time for the music. One could understand the words, you could dance to the music, and the songs had a story in them. When there was still true love around..
@brownwoman64 So, understanding the words is a criterium for a good song? What about words sung in a foreign language? Are those bad songs? No.
Ability to dance to a song is a criterium for a good song? So, classical is out, ambient is out, among many, many other genres. And, there are thousands of terrible songs that have a steady beat.
A story makes a good song? What about instrumental music? What about songs that have a story, but are terrible songs?
70"s was great for overall talent , any type of music was accepted as long as it was done well . Looks did not matter like the 80's . You had everything from these great pop hits to Alice Cooper , Queen , Van Halen , wow
LOVE this song...Thanks for posting it here. We have this and many many other Great tunes at TOMA'S TIMELESS TUNES, i hope you stop by and subscribe. I did subscribe to your channel. Thanks again. Tommy Toma.
Woewa...summer breeze, make me feel fine, killing me softly, you are the sunshine of my life, I just wanna stop and tell ya what I think about ya baby... the hits just keep on coming and with every song that digs deeper and deeper into our emotions because MUSIC ELEVATES THE SOUL from the past, time, people, places, things, memories and feelings and so much more... errupts when songs of the past pop up! What an emmtional ride these medley of songs from the past produces! Love it!
Yea, if you were born in 65 then the 70's should have seemed tame, you were only 10 in 75! I was born in 57 and have a different look. I had a great time with lots of great music, great friends, and yes there was a lot of smoke around but there still is...it's neither good nor bad. My thoughts of the 70's are great memories that I can't even explain in this format.
Oldie ear candy music is like an archeological dig to the good old days. Yes, once upon a time in the pristine pop past music charts had a such thing as melody and US culture wasn't destroyed by generations of noise thugs and brain dead and tone deaf street gang "artists". All hail the 70s! The last best tie to pop musical civilization.
I graduated in '72, the only disappointment to the 70's was disco. I hated it for the electronic no talent bimbo's that could make up gibberish for lyrics. Really, "Get Down, Boogie oogie oggie" cant really count as poetic. Well, to each their own.
5yrs old 1972 the sense of self wasn't fully developed yet, still in just pure being, our natural state, not full of concepts and labels, that's what this stuff brings back for me, there was no baggage of yesterday or even thinking about tomorrow, im not christian but i know this state is what Jesus meant when he said unless you become like one of these little children you will not enter the kingdom...the kingdom in here and now which is where we lived as children...as adults we live in fear
This stuff all reminds me of eating my breakfast, listening to the radio before catching the school bus in Grade school.I'm 41 now. I like eighties tunes but it can't touch the tunes of the 70's!
I am in my early 40s, I can remember listening to all this music, and loving it all. Maybe it was the times, or youth, but I think a lot of it was the music....things were simpler, you felt you were going to live forever. If only we could go back with the knowledge we have now, I would love more, laugh more, and always remember that we ''reap what we sow''. Its easy, no matter where you are in life right now -be thankful every day- it works.
Every generation/decade has great music. Don't look to today's latest pop, one-minute-wonders as THE music that represents all music. There is lots of good stuff being made right now but we tend to think ours (usually what we heard in out teens and twenties) as the best.
Love the well thought out argument on your part..."You gotta be kidding!!!! lol" Do you really think there is no good music nowadays? I'm not talking about Lady Gaga or Justin Beiber or similar shit. But if you really think the ONLY good music was from this era, you are pretty narrow minded or stuck in time...or both.
@hardlines4 Yep. I don't even know what to call most of the shit out there today. I mean.....is it "music", or is the technical term "noise", "sound", etc?
I grew up in the 70s, it was an easy going simple life, the culture, the people, it made me feel good and thankful to be among that generation, the new decades just didn't have that special seed, not because I'm getting older, it's a fact.
@65skillet Me too, sort of, I was b'71. I got the benefit of "growing up" in both the 70's & 80's. My favorite era was '76 thru '83-4. Summer vacation in the late 70's, I lived with my stepfather in San Antonio TX. It was an awesome time/place to be a kid! Because of the "oil boom", stuff was going up all over. Arcades, putt putt, go-kart tracks, water slide parks, fast food, etc. We did "something" fun, every weekend. Summers/early 80's were spent in Atlantic City & was even more fun!
i may have been born in 1988, but thanks to a great Dad and the classics radio station I listened to all night to keep away monsters, I know everyone of these songs, and feel an incredible sense of nostalgia for the decade that ended 8 years before I was born.
Time is a cruel avenger. One minute the sap of life courses through your veins and you will live forever. Then one day it hits you. It's gone, your youth is past and now it's a fight just to stay alive. Make use of your time young people, do good and avoid cruelty lest your old age be full of fear and regret.
Hey Back in the day NO TURER words were EVER spoken The 70's were the times of our lives .And we are not getting em back .BUT AT Least we had them these kids know nothng !!!
@glenlackey2 'backintheday' & I obviously don't share the same profession; I've seen way too many people die in their 20s & 30s to complain about growing older.
@backintheday1 I don't know about the grim assessment...seen a lot of people who never had the chance to grow older in my line of work; I'm pretty sure they would have traded places with you rather than die before their 21st birthday.
@backintheday1 You are so right I thought i would be in high school in the 70s forever, cannot live in the past but would give anything for those days again.
I love your post, it's so funny! Can you imagine though that all these ugly fucks would get laid by undiscriminating groupies, blinded by their admiration for anyone who performed in the music industry! Even as a young and naive teenager I'd never get near these fuck faces! But I have to admit though the music was soooo much better in the 70's, most performers could actually sing and play many instruments, not much can be said for today's "Incredibly Talentless ones"!
I miss Jim Croce ( time in a bottle) the most. He just hit the big time and then ......... He had a great way of saying things and wrote songs so well that it painted a picture in your mind.
@ashleyw34m Was a kid in the 70s and I totally agree with you. Songs that once you heard them in your childhood and adolescence stay with you because the quality in song writing and the soul in performance were evident in those days, a legacy that remains!
Pretty decent compilation but how can you leave out Eagles, Dan Fogelberg, Al Stewart, Todd Rundgren, Sanford & Townsend, Player, Meatloaf, Stories, Carole King, Pablo Cruise, Orleans, Steam, Charlie Dore, Hall & Oates, Nick Gilder, Gordon Lightfoot, Chicago, Jay Ferguson, David Essex, BW Stevenson, Sammy Johns, Henry Gross, King Harvest, Starbuck, Redbone, Commodores, Spinners, Earth Wind & Fire, George Benson, Leo Sayer, Paul Davis, John Denver, Sir Elton John, George Harrison & Rod Stewart?
@bucky468 In my opinion, having left so many other artists out is indicative of the amazing music that was made in those days. Still, another compilation would be wonderful, so that the great artists you mention can be included as well -- and we would be most appreciative without a doubt !
@80srule4ever Just a reminder yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of the death of a rock & roll legend, an icon & member of perhaps the greatest band in the history of Top 40 music. Of course I'm talking about John Lennon whose "Imagine" also defines 70's soft rock. "#9 Dream" is an instant soft rock favorite of mine.
@bucky468 You are right. I still remember when I heard the news of John Lennon's death. I remember precisely where I was and what I was doing. It was so shocking and senseless! I sometimes wonder what additional contributions to the world of music he would have made had he not been killed. What other amazing songs he would have given us . . . perhaps gone on tour? Could the world have become a friendlier place because of him? We'll never know. Yes, we miss him !
I love the Carpenters

I had a great time with lots of great music, great friends, and yes there was a lot of smoke around but there still is...it's neither good nor bad. My thoughts of the 70's are great memories that I can't even explain in this format.

Oldie ear candy music is like an archeological dig to the good old days. Yes, once upon a time in the pristine pop past music charts had a such thing as melody and US culture wasn't destroyed by generations of noise thugs and brain dead and tone deaf street gang "artists". All hail the 70s! The last best tie to pop musical civilization.

I graduated in '72, the only disappointment to the 70's was disco. I hated it for the electronic no talent bimbo's that could make up gibberish for lyrics. Really, "Get Down, Boogie oogie oggie" cant really count as poetic. Well, to each their own.

5yrs old 1972 the sense of self wasn't fully developed yet, still in just pure being, our natural state, not full of concepts and labels, that's what this stuff brings back for me, there was no baggage of yesterday or even thinking about tomorrow, im not christian but i know this state is what Jesus meant when he said unless you become like one of these little children you will not enter the kingdom...the kingdom in here and now which is where we lived as children...as adults we live in fear

I am in my early 40s, I can remember listening to all this music, and loving it all. Maybe it was the times, or youth, but I think a lot of it was the music....things were simpler, you felt you were going to live forever. If only we could go back with the knowledge we have now, I would love more, laugh more, and always remember that we ''reap what we sow''. Its easy, no matter where you are in life right now -be thankful every day- it works.

Every generation/decade has great music. Don't look to today's latest pop, one-minute-wonders as THE music that represents all music. There is lots of good stuff being made right now but we tend to think ours (usually what we heard in out teens and twenties) as the best.

Love the well thought out argument on your part..."You gotta be kidding!!!! lol" Do you really think there is no good music nowadays? I'm not talking about Lady Gaga or Justin Beiber or similar shit. But if you really think the ONLY good music was from this era, you are pretty narrow minded or stuck in time...or both.

I grew up in the 70s, it was an easy going simple life, the culture, the people, it made me feel good and thankful to be among that generation, the new decades just didn't have that special seed, not because I'm getting older, it's a fact.

@65skillet Me too, sort of, I was b'71. I got the benefit of "growing up" in both the 70's & 80's. My favorite era was '76 thru '83-4. Summer vacation in the late 70's, I lived with my stepfather in San Antonio TX. It was an awesome time/place to be a kid! Because of the "oil boom", stuff was going up all over. Arcades, putt putt, go-kart tracks, water slide parks, fast food, etc. We did "something" fun, every weekend. Summers/early 80's were spent in Atlantic City & was even more fun!

i may have been born in 1988, but thanks to a great Dad and the classics radio station I listened to all night to keep away monsters, I know everyone of these songs, and feel an incredible sense of nostalgia for the decade that ended 8 years before I was born.

Time is a cruel avenger. One minute the sap of life courses through your veins and you will live forever. Then one day it hits you. It's gone, your youth is past and now it's a fight just to stay alive. Make use of your time young people, do good and avoid cruelty lest your old age be full of fear and regret.

I love your post, it's so funny! Can you imagine though that all these ugly fucks would get laid by undiscriminating groupies, blinded by their admiration for anyone who performed in the music industry! Even as a young and naive teenager I'd never get near these fuck faces! But I have to admit though the music was soooo much better in the 70's, most performers could actually sing and play many instruments, not much can be said for today's "Incredibly Talentless ones"!

bucky468 1 year ago
@bucky468 In my opinion, having left so many other artists out is indicative of the amazing music that was made in those days. Still, another compilation would be wonderful, so that the great artists you mention can be included as well -- and we would be most appreciative without a doubt !

@80srule4ever Just a reminder yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of the death of a rock & roll legend, an icon & member of perhaps the greatest band in the history of Top 40 music. Of course I'm talking about John Lennon whose "Imagine" also defines 70's soft rock. "#9 Dream" is an instant soft rock favorite of mine.
R.I.P. John, 1940-1980. We'll always miss you.
bucky468 1 year ago
@bucky468 You are right. I still remember when I heard the news of John Lennon's death. I remember precisely where I was and what I was doing. It was so shocking and senseless! I sometimes wonder what additional contributions to the world of music he would have made had he not been killed. What other amazing songs he would have given us . . . perhaps gone on tour? Could the world have become a friendlier place because of him? We'll never know. Yes, we miss him !
