Songs of 1970 That Should Have Been Bigger Hits

Here is another video of forgotten minor hit songs from 1970 that I believe deserve a second look.

Thanks and I am glad you liked it. Most musicians and performers have enjoyed the showcase, but a couple have not appreciated the exposure. (shrugs)

True. But inspiration and the wholesale lift of a song are separate things. When the Beatles were playing Munich bars, much of their material were 50's R&B tunes from the States. Zep seemed to take this a bit further.

Jerry Naylor's BUT FOR LOVE was very very big here in OKC, even though it wasn't nationally.

That makes sense. Back in 1970 you only needed to break a song in a couple of markets to get on the charts. Thanks for the info.

Half way through and I must wholehartedly disagree. There were many songs and artists then that should have been bigger but these are NOT among them.

I remember Mongoose by Elephant's Memory. It was a rocker. I have it on vinyl.
