:-/ :-/ :-/ I like "Bridge Over troubled water"but hearing music from the 50s made me wish i was around then---songs like "Bye Bye Love""Dont be Cruel""Treasure of Lo ve,"JIm Dandy"(and scores of others)are hard to beat.Cheers! ::):-/

Neil Young said "Heart of Gold" put him in the middle of the road(popularity wise)but he ran back in the ditch...It was a bumpier ride but he met a lot of interesting people there.
I love his soft stuff and his harder music. He was singing about protecting the environment 35 yrs ago at least(excuse my sentences) He released OHIO ten days after the kids were murdered at Kent St. Saw him live at Columbus last yr with CSNY...my first concert...what a hoot. His electric guitar on "Going Home" was unbelievable. Steven Stills helped out too. Sorry to ramble
Peace

Ahhh, Roberta Flack. Killing Me Softly and First Time Ever. I don't remember what year it was, but... ahhh, Roberta Flack :)

I remember in 1980 they did a countdown of the best songs of the 70s. The winner: Bridge Over Troubled Water. Not too sure who did the countdown. It might have been the local radio station or it might have been a national survey like Billboard. Don't remember. Just remember the song.

Roberta Flack has a beautiful voice which lent itself very well to the sound of the early 70's. :)

I like your comments, Fuss, however I tend to disagree about The Bee Gees disco music. Everything they have done is wonderful, but I especially liked them during this time in their career. I don't typically care much for fasletto but these guys knew how to carry it to new levels! ;D ;)
