The great thing about the 70s was being a child and listening to KC Kasems top 40 and 100. Such a mega diverse list week after week. Radio stations were still a big deal with fun Djs
I love that year in music. I was 15. My personal favorite was "Ill Be Good To You" by The Brother's Johnson. My aunt favorite was "Let's Just Kiss And Say Goodbye ".
You had to live in the 70s to understand how great the music was. Everyone listened to the radio. Most cars only had AM radio where the stations played the hits. If you had FM radio you had other verities of stations, but FM was just starting to be popular.
Amen I would give anything to go back to the 70s and 80s even if its just for a little while keep on loving you, what was that song boogie down, or something oh yeah lets just kiss and say goodbye ❤❤ were are the real women of the 70s and 80s i would love to go have a great time With one ❤❤❤
"Oh what a night", "50 ways to leave your lover", "Sara smile", "You sexy thing" , "Golden Years", Bohemian Rhapsody ", "Do you know where you're going to"... there are lots of great songs. I was that 14yo glued to the radi... ended up becoming a radio dj as my 1st career. Lived the music of the 70"s and 80's.
I always thought Oh what a night was strange. JFK just got shot a month before, and this guy has a one night stand so intense he wrote a song about it.
Those were the days, born in 64, and leave the late 70, 80 and 90. I can say that i have a lot of fun with my gang. Now the kids have fun in a very diferent way from us, now hitech is the lighthouse for them.
Lowdown by Boz Scaggs ruled my hometown airwaves in late-summer and early fall of '76. Killer track with a poppin' bass. Also, Dream Weaver and Love Is Alive, both by Gary Wright, were massive.
According to an article the song was recorded just when everyone was kicked out of Cuba. They couldn't take a lot of cash, so they recorded the song and the rest is musical history.
@@rickjohnson2165 Isn't that with a lot of things? Perhaps a personal perception also or how could it be popular? I recall working at Pep Boys in 1983. The store played the radio over the speakers. George Strait 'Amarillo By Morning' played every f'n hour so it seemed. I hated that song. I was 19 at the time. Fast forward 20 years and suddenly that song wasn't so bad.
Dancing Queen by ABBA in 1976 was my favorite song in the summer & fall of 1976! This song took some of Europe's disco clubs like fiery storm and you could here the song everywhere: Vienna, Berlin, Tirana, Stockholm & Amsterdam (to nema some cities I was dancing to this song that year.)
@@jeffhintz7733 No. It was released in August 1976 and reached N°1 in 18 countries. But its chart topping success probably spilled over into the beginning of 1977.
@@ericfreeman5795 The beginning of ‘77? It played constantly all throughout ‘77 and actually remained quite popular thru the end of the 70’s (‘78 & ‘79) too. I can see where it may have been released in ‘76 and took awhile to get to the northern mid-west. Many songs are popular in Europe first. But definitely a timeless classic!
'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgearlds' by Gordon Lightfoot. It was a six-minute-long song about the real life sinking of a freighter on Lake Superior the year before. This song was slow, like a sea dirge with Lightfoot, using research and fact, recounting the disaster with such lines as 'Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?' and 'And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.' In a world of music caught up in disco this haunting, despairing song was a surprise hit that went to no.2 on the chart. Staying there for a number of weeks. Lightfoot btw, donated all of his royalties to the families of the 29-man crew that died. I can't believe 'Disco Duck' was picked over this masterpiece.
RIP Gordon his songs are timeless, personal favorites, Sundown and Carefree Highway. Songs came out when I was a kid, heard them around the house. Soon made them my own when i got older. Timeless........ Peace....
Amen!! Also did you know the bell from the Edmund Fitzgearld was retrieved and every year on the anniversary of this terrible disaster it's rang 29 times for the men that lost their lives. After the death of the GREAT Gordon Lightfoot The families of the 29 have all voted in favor of the bell being rang 30 times in honor of Mr. Lightfoot. RIP to all involved.
That song is timeless. The anniversary is just about a month from now, November 10. I also always remember the Captains and the crews of the Arthur M. Anderson and William Clay Ford. A very courageous move to go back out into that storm and look for the Fitz.
The summer of '76 I was living with a girl who had classes in the morning and I worked 2nd shift (5 to1) so all we had was afternoon and did we make it delight filled. This was our song. She went on to be a lawyer while i met the love of my life in aug 9 '80 and we got our farm.
Bob Seger’s Night Moves takes me right back to what being a teenager in 1976 felt like. The world was full of possibilities. Every Friday night we all wondered what kind of connection or excitement was waiting for us. Music was amazing. The cars were great and the girls…the girls were…I’ll just leave it there. What a great time to be young.
For the record, the greatest two-year run for pop music is without question between the summer of '75 and the end of '76. It's not close. One of my favorite songs from '76 Is a haunting tune from Blue Oyster Cult ... (Don't Fear) The Reaper
When Fooled around and Fell in Love was first released, my neighbor's dog would always go over and sit near the radio every time that song started to play, and just sit there and listen to it. The dog must have really liked that song.
Tonight's the Night is the creepiest song I ever heard. Some people think Don't Fear the Reaper,also from 1976, is creepy. I think it's awesome. So does my boyfriend Larry. Sound advice. Don't Fear the Reaper. Let him fear YOU! He's tried to get me several times but I've always managed to give him rhe slip.
I was only 2 at the time but now I know where I got the funk in me, lol always loved to dance still till this day, mom must of been listening to that great 70's music
The bicentennial year was filled with so much music diversity. A year like no other, of course my senior year, the war had ended, peace and tranquility, there was a reason to dance and enjoy! The days of true music and pure voices!
Silver convention fly robin fly I remember single along listening to the radio at my grandfather's house and he shook his head saying I don't understand music today lol I feel the same way now about a lot of songs I get it 😀
I married the woman who waited 3 years for me to come back from the army the only one who was at the airport when I came home and still the love of my life 💗💗💗💗💗💗
I do love Bill Conte's Gonna Fly Now from the Rocky movie in 1976! A song that makes you want to run up the Art Museum in Philadelphia for sure! Period and that's that!
@@gaskellr44 It was kind of sad and had one of Fecalfinger's famous "Flubbering Gasser" backbeat sounds. Some say it's a little like the song "Let's Have a Party in My Pants" by Jerry Jerherkinghoffmeister and the Squeezers. Remember that one ?
@@superfly3990 Surely that song was done by "The Sitonmyface Brigade", who used to be called "The lefthanded Onanists", until they got caught right handed. Their best song was, if I remember was "Wake me up, as I love to see the big ones that float".
Nothing against this list, this is more of a "pop" light list. I was around 17 so I was listening to Boston, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, Rush and the Eagles. FM radio was playing more of the music I wanted to hear than the top 40 AM stations. I liked the album oriented record (AOR) format over the top 40/10 AM selections.
There are so many but I still love Barry Manilow and Weekend in New England is one of my favorites. And of course Abba's album Arrival came out in '76 with Dancing Queen!
I was looking for someone that would mention Barry Manilow or Weekend in New England. Matt, it may be one of your favorites, but it actually is my favorite song of all time, by any artist.
I was like 8 yrs old in 1976... 4th grade... and I remember hearing all of these songs on the radio... driving to and from school... many, many times... with my mom and my brother. Such good memories.
Don’t Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult and I’m gonna cheat here thrown in another selection with Do You Feel Like We Do? by Peter Frampton! Great footage here. My first year of purchasing vinyl records. I’m almost 63 now! Great memories! Thanks for sharing!
Paul was always blessed with Charisma and guiness! But Wow the starland vocal band brought the innocence of love to 76! I think that Wild Cherry Play That Funky Music should have been here too.

I got sooooo sick of that song! I liked their second album much better. More than a feeling was very bland to me. But now most of these songs are. Gospel songs are much better. More than a feeling is juvenile silliness for middle schoolers. How is this song not boring to you? There’s no depth. It’s like eating kale everyday.
@@dianem6951 well some of us like that and not gospel songs. To each their own. It’s what makes the world go on. But the album has sold over 20 million copies, so a lot of ppl like it. I reps t gospel songs, just not going to listen to for my fun. We all differ and can disagree with respect. Have a nice day

Real musicians, real groups, really singing and playing real instruments. Those were the days!
l was born in 1963 civil rights baby, the music was real WOW MISS THOSE DAYS!!!!!!
And here you are watching a fake, AI generated, terrible quality video and audio of the experiences that deserve better treatment than this garbage
It was canned pop, not very great. Top 40 BS written exclusively to make radio hits.
Nobody had ever heard of a laptop yet!
I'm in my late 50's. I can't get into the rap and hip hop. I'm too old.
It was a great time being a teenager in the 70’s, the music, the clothes and the people’s attitudes.

Born in the 60s, grew up during the 70s, into the 80s. Arguably the best era of music.

I was 9yrs old!
Absolutely love this! Thank you🥰
So glad you stop by!! :)
...meanwhile, at 15, I was banging away to Aerosmith, RUSH, Kansas, Ted and many more rockin bands. Life was good, back then.
May have been the best music year ever. Disco, classic rock, light rock, R&B and just plain pop. Everything converged in 76.
My favourite song from 1976 was "More Than A Feeling" by Boston
I was 10 years old in 1976 and living in Boston. I loved that song 😊
Yeah! Great tune!!!
This is the winning comment. My fav song of all time and fav group
I got sooooo sick of that song! I liked their second album much better. More than a feeling was very bland to me.
But now most of these songs are.
Gospel songs are much better.
More than a feeling is juvenile silliness for middle schoolers.
How is this song not boring to you?
There’s no depth. It’s like eating kale everyday.
@@dianem6951 well some of us like that and not gospel songs. To each their own. It’s what makes the world go on. But the album has sold over 20 million copies, so a lot of ppl like it. I reps t gospel songs, just not going to listen to for my fun. We all differ and can disagree with respect. Have a nice day
Dancing queen ABBA always reminds me of that great year
I was 18! Loving life and music 🎶
I was however not a fan of disco.
Fooled around and fell in love
Afternoon delight takes me right back to 76 loved it never played today on channels ever
A great year for music
If You Leave Me Now is still my all-time favorite song.
It is so hard to believe that that was Chicago's first number one single according to Billboard magazine.
Mine, too! Whenever If You Leave Me Now came on the radio, I sang it to my daddy and he'd often cry!
Oh god, Chicago.
Songs of 76 just hit different in my childhood
OMG they don't have music like that anymore
I remember all the songs and it brings back many memories. The first song in this video reminded me of the TV show Welcome Back, Kotter.
Frampton Comes Alive was released in 1976...Do You Feel Like I Do
I was 10 and remembered most of these...can't say, without looking it up, what was my favorite at that time.
I was 12 I remember all those songs
Especially fly robin fly they played that at a dance at my middle school. Yes I danced.
Love to remember the good old days
My favorites of 1976 are "Music" by John Miles and "If you leave me now" by Chicago which are amongst my Top 10 of all times ...
