1971 was a great year for music: Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Carpenters, CCR, Ike and Tina, The Who, Three Dog Night, Marvin Gaye. Two of the biggest songs of all time came out in 1971: Stairway to Heaven and American Pie. By the way, Greyhound wasn't the only band to record Black and White. Three Dog Night also had a hit with it.
I'm surprised by how many songs I DIDN'T recognize - including by artists I'm very familiar with - some I'd even seen in person. But it is still great to hear a compilation from that year.. Thank you.
Man, you know you're getting on in years when you remember a whole bunch of songs like this and realise you're older than them. Still love Tony Christie, Creedence, and Elton John to this day.
Sorry. But is this more American rubbish. A little band called Slade emerged. Cos I Luv You. 4 weeks at number one dropped to number 3 for another 2 weeks. A joke
A year of widely contrasting music. With such greats as Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Janis Joplin, The Who, CCR, Uriah Heep, Moody Blues, Cat Stevens, etc I was surprised to see Daddy Cool, New World, and The Mixtures included (thank you). Thank you for compiling and uploading this list, Random Guy!
I was 5 when Joy To The World was released. I always thought it was funny singing about a bullfrog. It was one of the first songs on the radio I remember.
I was little 10 years old argentinian girl in 1971, who obviously didn't listened tho this music back then. It is a fact that if I know and cherish many of these songs, it's because they are truly timeless classics. Thanks once again SRG!!
In 1971, I Was 6 Years Old🙆 I Live In Chitose Hokkaido Japan 🙇 Till 1971, Chitose City Had American Forces Radio And TV Station (FEN)😎 Maybe These Tunes Were On Air From FEN Radio Or FEN TV In Chitose 😁 Thanks To Upload😄 Thank You So Much 🙇
Geez … I was 8-9 years old when these songs were released. Many I had forgotten, but recalled them rapidly upon hearing them. A few I admit I was unfamiliar with, but enjoying them for the first time. 1971 - AM car radio 📻 trips. These were part of my childhood. 53 years later … enjoying these forever classics. 😊
Even though I only started listening to the radio actively one year later in 1972, I have good memories of Tony Christie, Middle Of The Road, The Sweet and T. Rex, and some of their singles still are in my record cupboard. Adendum: Michel Delpech - Pour un flirt is a Lost and Found to me. I immediately included it into my mp3 collection.
Love these, so many oh yea I remember that one songs:) Thank you Random as always, you make me happy with a new vid day after day! I have really liked your hard work making these.
I got to be there, to listen to karen carpenter, have you seen her? she is my mama's pearl, if you dislike this playlist, who do you think you are? I never can say goodbye to the songs on this playlist, they're number one son! Artistes from the next decade and beyond have sampled some of these songs.
These are the songs that I recognise Ain't no Sunshine (Is this the way to) Amarillo Amazing Grace American Pie An old-fashioned Love Song Another Day Banks of the Ohio Behind Blue Eyes Borriquito Brown Sugar Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep For all we Know Get it On Have you ever seen the Rain Here's to You Hot Love I feel the Earth Move If Imagine Layla Love Story Maggie May Me and Bobby McGee Mr Big Stuff Mr Bojangles Oye Como Va Proud Mary Rock Steady She's a Lady Signs Stairway to Heaven Take Me Home, Country Roads Theme from Shaft Un Banc, Un Abre, Une Rue What's going On You've got a Friend Your Song
Finally another Hit Songs video in the building with only 2 more 70s videos!!! I have to say this one for me was pretty interesting. I was surprised to see the Michel Sardou song or the Pooh song or the second Tom Jones song Till. I was happy that you put Pour un flirt by Michel Delpech and when there will be a Top Songs in Europe in 1971 please add the songs Les rois mages by Sheila as a cover of Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum by Middle of the Road and Il fait beau, il fait bon by Claude François as a cover of Freedom Come, Freedom Go by The Fortunes. Superb video and looking so much forward to 1972!
Around then seemed to be a largely increasing gap between music that was made for creative expression vs. music that was produced to make money. Over time it's only gotten worse, but thank you for the music that really meant something back then.
Thank you for this upload SRG. Amazing how many I know on this video. Most of these get played on radios today, plus having grew up with these songs too via parents and grandparents. I prefer Shirley Basseys version of 'For All We Know'. Marc Bolan a beautiful man, shame he died so young. Very talented performer. 'Imagine', 'Gypsies Tramps and Thieves', 'Hot Love', 'Get It On', 'Layla', 'Proud Mary' (I can't still believe Tina is dead), 'Stairway To Heaven' (best song!), 'Theme from Shaft', 'Want Ads', 'What's Goin On', 'You Are Everything', 'Your Song' are my favourites.
Imagine Your Song Ain't No Sunshine Brand New Key Layla It's Too Late Brown Sugar I Feel the Earth Move I Just Wanna Celebrate Amazing Grace Behind Blue Eyes Oye Como Va She's A Lady
I haven't yet 😟 I'm looking for one where they say All For You three times in the chorus (I think it says like that) but I can't get it, they play a rhythmic electric guitar and drums with a sound like marching drums, and it's sung by a man with a deep and soft voice but no matter how much I look for it I can't find it, could anyone help me? (I don't know if it's a ballad type song, a jazz song, a classic rock song like Pink Floyd, Cigarette After Sex, Deep Purple, Pearl Jam, Diré Straits, Hoy Division, Eric Clapton, The Doors, Muse or those types of songs like that) It seems like classic rock or rock ballads or ballads or jazz.

Merci beaucoup pour l'année 1971.j'avais 10 ans à l'époque. Mes meilleurs salutations de la France 🇫🇷🎶🎸🎤

thank you for giving american pie proper recognition. Like it feels like people are forgetting how important it was
Yes I agree with you
Don't forget Pink Floyds epic ECHOES.
I'm surprised by how many songs I DIDN'T recognize - including by artists I'm very familiar with - some I'd even seen in person. But it is still great to hear a compilation from that year.. Thank you.
Yes. There were quite a few songs I did not know.
1971 was a great year for music.
Indian Reservation, Knock Three Times, and Draggin The Line all still rock.
One of the greatest years in rock/pop music history, absolutely loaded with great songs.
I was 16 and I remember nearly every one. What memories. Thanks for the upload.
Man, you know you're getting on in years when you remember a whole bunch of songs like this and realise you're older than them. Still love Tony Christie, Creedence, and Elton John to this day.
Гарик, ты прав на все 100%!!!
Please do more years with 150 songs. There is always more to the story of a year's music than just a short list. Thank you! 🙏❤️🙂
Marc Bolan / T. Rex -- 3 times! Great!
Sorry. But is this more American rubbish. A little band called Slade emerged. Cos I Luv You. 4 weeks at number one dropped to number 3 for another 2 weeks. A joke
Get It On still rocks.
I was 14. What an astonishing year of music. So many iconic songs and performers.
A year of widely contrasting music.
With such greats as Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Janis Joplin, The Who, CCR, Uriah Heep, Moody Blues, Cat Stevens, etc
I was surprised to see Daddy Cool, New World, and The Mixtures included (thank you).
Thank you for compiling and uploading this list, Random Guy!
What a,bloody terrific year thanks for that SRG🎉
'71 was a great year for music, where has the time gone?😢
I was 5 when Joy To The World was released. I always thought it was funny singing about a bullfrog. It was one of the first songs on the radio I remember.
When I was born Joy To The World hit #1.
So glad Lady in Black got featured! One of the most well written and emotionally rich songs by arguably the most underrated classic rock band
Super Musik 🎵
A big thnx Sir Francis..my parents fave me too..loved it here in the Philippines..👍🙏🏼💖💿🇵🇭😋
I was little 10 years old argentinian girl in 1971, who obviously didn't listened tho this music back then. It is a fact that if I know and cherish many of these songs, it's because they are truly timeless classics. Thanks once again SRG!!
Karen Carpenter and John Denver had two of the purest voices ever recorded
Karen Carpenter was the greatest female vocalist of all time, in my opinion. Little Johnny Denver was kinda gay.
Great beautiful year. Great music and great memories ❤

Tina Turner 's Proud Mary. One of the most important songs ever. But Marvin Gaye was the best!

Great 1971!❤🎶❤🐕🦺
The Four Tops did such a great job with A Simple Game. It's the kind of cover that makes a fan of the original proud to know is out there.
I remember half of these songs and I loved every one of them. 🎵🎶
0:19 This is such a happy song.
Cat Stevens and John Denver were my favorite artists as a kid.
Even though I only started listening to the radio actively one year later in 1972, I have good memories of Tony Christie, Middle Of The Road, The Sweet and T. Rex, and some of their singles still are in my record cupboard.

Aparte de exelente música el formato es único 👍
1971 is bittersweet with the passing of one of the biggest rock icon ever Jim Morrison 😔
That is definitely a year of phenomenal hits!:) 🎶thanks again for some random guy ✌️💖🤩
70s are my favorite music decade and I especially like the Disco songs

I count 50 songs that are still considered talented and memorable from this one year. How many songs made in 2024 will become just as legendary?
What a great job you did!!!! Awesome.
1:26 Oh, I thought this was later in the decade. 😮
So. Many. Great. Songs. “One Bad Apple” by the Osmonds was the number one song when I was born!
Good songs!
Around then seemed to be a largely increasing gap between music that was made for creative expression vs. music that was produced to make money. Over time it's only gotten worse, but thank you for the music that really meant something back then.
Great music from the year I was born and ❤

“Bridget the Midget”. Oh the good old days lol.
The Four Tops doing an obscure Moody Blues song! Who knew...
The song 'Ain’t No Sunshine' was used for an episode in the 'Compass Killer' story-arc in CSI: NY.
