Sounds of '70

[ashetlandpony]

Just put together this playlist of tunes I was listening to 50 (?!) years ago during the summer of 1970. #1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 I remember buying as 45s at Wallichs Music City at Eastland. (Still have 'em, too

oooo, I *lovelove* lists like this... a very classic one too!... Great selections!... Brings some memories back for me too.... *hugs* ^v^

Just hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that these songs and memories are from a time now half-a-century past...

Ah, memories :o) So many ear worms (BeepBeep).

What’s most interesting to me about this list isn’t the songs, but the artists. I could hum most of these songs, and dredge up lyrics from my AM listening days, but the groups can be elusive. I mean, who doesn’t know Mungo Jerry? I could never have come up with Edwin Star, though!

At least half of these songs are by 'one hit wonders'! Shouldn't feel bad for their nominal obscurity, though. I should have been so lucky to spend one day in a recording studio and produce a song whose royalties would end up supporting me and my family comfortably without me having to work another day in my life. ^^
