Another fun fact about Afternoon Delight, one of the couples, from Starland Vocal Band, Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert wrote Take Me Home Country Roads for John Denver.

Most of these songs I grew up on my mom will buy k-tel records and we had a reck room in our house.❤😊 also I was in choir and we sang David souls song and the pink panther at our concert. Boy does that bring back memories. Thanks enjoyed the commentary.

Terry Jack's Season's in the sun was played at my cousin's funeral, after a long painful battle with lukimia. He requested it, so there ya go, we had too

[tonette]

"Afternoon Delight" got a boost because of the "Skyrockets in flight" line, because it was right at the Bicentennial and everyone was crazy with celebrations. (trust me; I was there near DC.)
"Don't Give Up on Us" made those of us who found out that David Soul wrote it because his second wife was about to leave him for beating her. When his lawyer tried to paint her as a lying schemer, his first wife backed her up saying it was why she had left him, as well.

Seasons in the Sun was, and is, awesome. A terrific song.

The ultimate 70's memory-song for me was Paper Lace, The Night Chicago Died. Played the HELL outta the
Terry Jacks was my #2

My favorite one hit wonder is Norman Greenbaum’s Spirit in the Sky

[terrygourley]

debby Boone's song peaked in the midst of my teen ganja years! We sang, "You, light up my pipe, you give me dope, to carry on" lol!

Don't Say You Don't Remember by Beverly Bremers from 1972 was a hauntingly beautiful ballad which should have captured more attention.

[sherrydorman]

Born 1962 i got the privilege of growing up in this time, I wish I knew then what I know now, it was the last time of the best, I wish my grandkids could experience America then 😢

[MorganOtt-neqj]

Jeez, I was just a kid then, but I roller skated to most of these songs at the local rink. I learned to "jive skate" to them. 40 years later, I can still skate!😂

[orionexplorer]

Paper Lace also had a hit with, "Billy Don't Be A Hero". As far as Anita Ward with "Ring My Bell", it made my ears bleed back then and it still does to this day.

Another real good band from Calgary, Alberta was the '80's group "Boulevard." They had lots of Canadian AOR radio hits which included the song
"Never Give Up" which was featured on one of the "Miami Vice" TV shows. Their other notable songs are: 1) Dream On 2) Talk To Me 3) Lead Me On
4) Crazy Life 5) Far From Over 6) Need You Tonight 7) You And I 8) Missing Persons 9) Where Is The Love 10) In The Twilight. ENJOY PEOPLE!
