      Would you give a little more detail on Le Freak being #1 3 times. By the same group?...well you did list it as Chic so I doubt it was that. Different years? Like it left the charts then came back (like Chubby Checker's The Twist) or just hit #1, drop a position and then re-peak at #1 again? Maybe different Genre lists like the disco list as well as pop list? I only remember it as a 1 time smash in late '78/early '79. Tell me what you're talking about.

    Does anyone here remember a tv show called The Midnight Special"? It debuted in 1972, and ran from 1-2:30 am on Friday nights. Wolfman Jack was the MC, each show featured a half dozen LIVE mainstream bands, playing at 2 am.
    It was the first late night broadcast show to air after 1 am on a regular basis. Ever.
    It was years before SNL, even more before MTV or VHS recorders...

Doo Wop to disco to new wave it's all been great. I've done a ton of country as well. Love it all and that's why I have XM radio in my garage because I'm still building bikes and listening to the best sh*t ever to hit the air waves. Thanks for the memories DYR!

      Me too, absolutely beautiful song. I was born in 1970 but I love 70s and 80s music. I grew up listening to boney m, the Bee gees, showwaddywaddy and the soundtrack to grease.

      Loved Popcorn. Fortunately in the 90s there were a series of CDs (now out of print) called Super Hits of the 70s. I got reacquainted with Popcorn there.

    I remember sitting by the pool at Turkey Run State Park in IN June of 1979 listening to the radio when the DJ announced a new song from Bad Company "Rock & Roll Fantasy". To this day when this song comes on I'm transported back to the summer and that place!

    Canadian singer and DJ Keith Hampshire had a superb hit in our Canadian markets in 1975 I think it was. Forever and Ever is a wonderful love song that needs to be heard again, IMHO.

    I'm a child of the 70s... I still listen to all of these. So many more I could name. A couple of semi-forgotten (by some) gems from the 70s: 'Moonlight, Feels Right' by Starbuck, 'Miracles' by Jefferson Starship, 'Feel So Good' by Chuck Mangione, 'Bitter With The Sweet' by Carole King, 'Summer Rain' by Johnny Rivers. -- That's just a few.
