Great Music from the 70's

I loved this song so much when it was released way back when, and it's still a favourite. It's such a summery song.

Legendary singer Bill Withers has passed away at age 81.

Bill Withers was inducted in the Rock and Roll hall of fame in 2015. Here is Stevie Wonder and John Legend giving tribute to him on his induction ceremony.

Remember Sly and The Family Stone?

LoL! Was glancing through this old thread when I noticed this and just had to post. Sly and the Family Stone were cool! My dad liked Sly and the Family Stone, and he wasn't a music guy. White as a piece of Evangeline bread, too, which is what made it pretty funny. But he was all for racial equality back then, which may have explained it.

Anyway, looks like they were pretty good live (antics and all, LoL).

P.S. Going back this far makes me wanna watch Charlie Brown cartoons now.

Fun going back through this thread : ) I can't really listen to old stuff on radio (kinda depressing), but watching videos is different. Nice watching things posted by others who lived during the same time period. You kinda feel like you can relate...

I was blessed to have great bass players as musical influences growing up. Tiran Porter was one of my favorites.

Grew up on the levee in New Orleans. Used to party with friends on the West Bank (Algiers). Wasn't there when Karina hit, but I remember listening to this song at least four or five thousand times as a kid. Proved to be prophetic (and a bit creepy, LoL).

Lazy day. No cares. Just waiting for the next chance to serve God and/or others.

I have always been fond of folk music. Cat Stevens was a favorite. Although Donovan reached his peak popularity in the 60''s his best album in my estimation was a two record set, HMS Donovan, his most poetic and literate album. It had virtually no airplay in the US unfortunately. The entire album is avalable on You Tube. The best cut is The Voyage of the Moon. Mary Hopkin''s Postcard album also has an exquisite rendition of the Voyage of the Moon with Donovan and Paul McCartney on guitar.

In respect to Christian music from the 70''s Daniel Amis comes to mind especially Shotgun Angel. 'Some of the later albums, Including other incarnations of the band The Swirling Eddies, Lost Dogs,and solo albums by Terry Taylor, especially Knowledge and Innocence have also been exceptional. I do have a problem with sone of the content however.

Phil Keaggy has also had some outstanding albums.

Correction the name of the Christian Band I referred to was Daniel Amos, not Daniel Amis.

In the late 70's, I was so in love with my husband and sappy love songs. Here is one by the group LTD

This is an amazing song - Ed Sheeran, Andrea Boccelli:

...and I've been continuing to experience some new stuff (to me) that I really like - Pink, for example (go figure):

...and if you like amazing voices - of the opera type - you really need to listen to Patricia Janeckova. She's truly a world class soprano. She's like 22 now - but this was when she was 14 I think. Floored me when I first stumbled on this - she did it for a student competition but clearly stole the show...

You know what? Just realized none of these were from the '70's - my bad - but the '70's and late '60's were my musical era. Nothing since has compared imho - but these posts prove that at least it hasn't been all bad since.

There are similer threads for the newer stuff.

Yep, my total bad. If the mods want to move them I'm perfectly fine with that. Apologies...
