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.
Any of the Doobie Bros. songs are fantastic and not dated! And Dr. John needing some brain salad surgery? Hello! Emerson,Lake and Palmer! The coolest album ever!!!
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...
Every single one of these was well-known. "Forgotten"? What a joke. They didn't even try. The Googled "70's oldies" and picked the first 10 songs that came up.
Me thinks Nostalgic Nick is about 13 yrs old or either desperately needs rent money. Never heard of most of these songs. But come on, who forgets the Doobie Bro or the Kinks!
At the tender age of 69 I've gone through the 50s, the 60s, the 70s and then some. At one time I had a 3 piece denim suit with 16" bell bottoms and 3" "stacks" on my feet. 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!

Songs of my youth. While the 80’s brought us innovation, the 70’s had heart & soul. What I love & miss most about 70’s is anyone could be a singer/song writer. The songs you mentioned are never forgotten because I have them all on my iPod. ✌🏻💖🎶
I love that a lot of seventies music I listen to tells a story. Rocky by austin roberts, the night chicago died by paper lace, lying eyes by the eagles, billy don't be a hero by no donaldson and the heywoods, tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree by tony orlando. I could go on and on!
I got to see Loggins and Messina's last show at the Hollywood Sportatoium in South Florida, with some guy named Jimmy Buffet opening in about 74. Everyone was saying Jimmy who🤔🤣🤣
That was definitely Kenny Rogers I am a fan of both and have seen both from less than 20 ft away. If you don't know what they look like they look similar with the hair. I saw McDonald singing with Steely Dan. I don't know if he is on any of their albums. I never had close seats for the Doobies.
I’m 22 and even before I fell in love with 70s music, I’d heard every one of these a million times. I’m sure people who actually lived through the 70s haven’t forgotten these. The title doesn’t lie though - these songs are, in fact, awesome.
Redbone was one of the most talented bands of the 70s, unequaled today. Come and Get Your Love is constantly pilfered in movies. They belong in the Rv&R Hall of Fame if they are not yet there.
@@larryronkq586 Right! Even in the US, It qualfies as a '70s song. Hitting number 1 in a particular year is not the thing. Many songs are big hits, WITHOUT being #1 Many songs never hit #1, but got lots or airplay. Both records are 70s.
As a child of both the 60's and 70's, this music not only is remisminent of a day gone by. It also was a time where pure heart crossed just enough funds for the heart to be broadcasted to public everywhere. God bless all that experienced this time.

Maybe they’re forgotten on the ...t stations the video’s creator listens to where the “records ‘library’” didn’t exist prior to 2015, and dipstick’s mom didn’t either before 1990...
"Life on Mars" is such a brilliant song as was David Bowie. And I was born in 1957, so I grew up listening to '60's music AND '70's music. Had to love Bowie and Marc Bolan...
Lola is not a “blatantly gay rock ballad” it’s about how a guy was tricked by a person whom he thought was a woman. That doesn’t make the song “gay” and I hear this song in the radio all the time so idk why it’s really on this list.
The guy is also wrong in saying that the gender is revealed at the end. Lola's gender is never revealed, the lyrics are ambiguous and pretty clever. The narrations on these lists are usually nonsense.
@@tiffanympm sure there was, as long as trans ppl have been around so has transphobia. It just wasn’t really talked about openly back then or had the term “transphobia”
@@stefanbach7652 I don't know what part of the world you are in, But here in little ol' Pittsburgh,PA there is an almost 100% chance that at least 3 of these tunes will be played on one of 3 regular radio stations in the next HOUR. If I listen to all three of them (for 1 hour each) I'd probably hear ALL of them.
The most forgotten superstar of the 70s has to be Linda Ronstadt. I mean she was the best selling female artist of the decade, was on the cover of Rolling Stone four times and had a boat load of hit singles and several number one albums and yet she is not played on radio anymore. You would think that You’re no Good and Blue Bayou would at least be played.
Well... I guess the real best-selling female artist of the 70s must have been someone international, here in the UK she had neither top 10 singles nor top 10 albums during the 70s.
Brain Salad Surgery was the name of an album by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, a groundbreaking “high tech” band popular with hard rockers in the early 70’s.
I guess I’m stuck in the 70’s because I have most of these songs on my play list and hear them all the time. I hear then on the radio too so I’m not sure you got this right. 😊
I loved that song! Wore that 45 out playing it (driving my older sister up the wall was an added bonus, as well as payback for that Muskrat Love crap!)
@@nicoleknight9412 YES! THIS. First band I ever saw live, 1976 aged 15; ma & pa were HUGE fans and their stuff was on all the time. Never better than with David Byron. I met Lee Kerslake in a disco/club one night, aged around 18. He was standing with the hatcheck girl (his g.friend). I could not have been more surprised and neither could he! A disco dollybird coming up and saying "Aren't you Lee Kerslake"? He nearly fell over when I told him they were one of my favourite bands and had seen them! We shook hands nicely, had a laugh at the weirdness of it all and I hit the dance floor. Happy, happy daze.
@@nicoleknight9412 Do you remember, "Paradise/The Spell" and of course "July Morning"??... David Byron was an awesome singer and vocalist!! Uriah Heep's music is timeless!!! G.R.
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.
Guys: surely you understand that he can’t play the songs in their entirety, and you might note not at all in some cases, due to the threat of the dreaded Copyright Strike?
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.
Literally their "signature song", along the lines of "Stairway to Heaven", or "Freebird", or "Satisfaction", or "Smoke on the Water"...etc. Okay, maybe some "Kinks-O-Philes" can make an argument for "You Really Got Me".
Love both of those. I still play them frequently when I have an oldies listening night, along with songs by America, Three Dog Night, Doobies, Steely Dan, and many others.
My very large record collection from when I was a kid was destroyed in a flood some years ago. My R Dean Taylor was one of them. I can't really remember the song but it has nice vocals and guitar work. Another old favorite is Rita Coolidge's "Whiskey, Whiskey".
Also in the Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton Area at least once or twice a week sometimes more. Sometimes I will hear it once or twice in a day. Same with some of the others mentioned in the video.
The first dance song at my cousin’s wedding was Redbone’s “Come And Get You Love” ☺️… in our Puerto Rican and our new Dutch cousin-in-law’s families, this awesome song is definitely not forgotten 😁.
I've actually heard each & every one if these songs on the radio in the last week alone. We have a REALLY good classic hits radio station where I live.
Saw them at the Echelon Mall in May 1972, when they were part of an all-weekend live concert in the parking lot outside the mall. It was presented by WFIL, and that weekend included performances by Harry Chapin (who had just released his first song, "Taxi"), The Dramatics, Frigid Pink, Jo-Jo Gunne, and Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, who also performed their new hit "Sylvia's Mother" at Paul IV's HS's Saturday night High School dance THAT Saturday night (also courtesy of WFIL and the late, great Boss Jock, Dr. Don Rose). Fun memories...
I had the cutest rat as a class pet and her name was Lola. Every day as we were transitioning from lunch to math, my kiddos would ask, “Can we hear Lola’s song?” I would play the first minute of it and it was soooo sweet to hear 25 first graders singing “Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola, La,La,La,Lola.”
Ok. That is absolutely precious! My mother taught kindergartners for years and it never ceased to make her blissfully happy when she got the kids to learn and sing along with songs she loved.💞
I grew up in the 70s. Because of my parents and grandparents I listen to music going back as far as glen miller. The future, well my 4 month old grandson, the music lives on.
I saw Dr. John and Bonnie Rait in 1979/1980 at an outdoor concertina a Saturday afternoon in New England on the side of a mountain. The tickets were $12 and it was a beautiful day and one of the best days in my life. Great Times! I miss those days
I still listen to Lola, What a Fool Believes, Le Freak, Come and Get You Love, and Right Place/Wrong Time. And as far as hearing any of these today… No one is hearing anything but Hip Hop and Country on the “radio.”
Not one song on this list is forgotten - I guarantee you if I turn on the radio I will hear Lola within 10 minutes, probably followed by What a Fool Believes. And how has Cars been forgotten? This song is on CBSFM every night.

I mean she was the best selling female artist of the decade, was on the cover of Rolling Stone four times and had a boat load of hit singles and several number one albums and yet she is not played on radio anymore. You would think that You’re no Good and Blue Bayou would at least be played.
Well... I guess the real best-selling female artist of the 70s must have been someone international, here in the UK she had neither top 10 singles nor top 10 albums during the 70s.
@@OnlyGoodMusic_ Yes she was big in North America but surprisingly she did not have appeal in Europe.
I'm partial to "Baker Street" - Gerry Rafferty and "Thunder Island" - Jay Ferguson
THUNDER ISLAND......YESSSS!!!!!!
Yes, and "Get it right this time."
Thunder Island could def be on this list.
Bring in the mullets!!!!
Summers in Panama City, man.
Sky High - Jigsaw
Cruel to be Kind - Nick Lowe
Goodbye Girl - David Gates
Good picks. First two not on my very long 70s Spotify playlist. Thanks.
Sky High just makes me so happy. Like Magic by Pilot.
Great songs. I own all three.
@@booksnuggler2494
...& yet, "Sky High" is a song
about bitter resentment
of a relationship gone wrong.
I have all three on various playlists! Some of my favorite songs of all time
Brain Salad Surgery was the name of an album by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, a groundbreaking “high tech” band popular with hard rockers in the early 70’s.
One of my brothers had that album, "Karn Evil 9," and great cover artwork by H. R. Giger.
‘ Brain salad surgery’ was the name of the album. ‘Karn evil 9’ was one of the tracks
ELP had to be seen live to be truly appreciated.
I guess I’m stuck in the 70’s because I have most of these songs on my play list and hear them all the time. I hear then on the radio too so I’m not sure you got this right. 😊
Very restrained and polite
More than a feeling by Boston. One of my absolute favourites.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there?
"Hitch a Ride"...one of their BEST!
An enduring classic.
I haven’t forgotten any of these songs and I still listen today, thanks.
Who is this yoyo talking? Gimme a break. These are relevant songs in my world.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there?
One group and song that I feel got lost in the cracks of the 70s was The Babys: "Isn't it Time."
I loved that song! Wore that 45 out playing it (driving my older sister up the wall was an added bonus, as well as payback for that Muskrat Love crap!)
John Waite (of Bad English fame and who had that solo hit "Missing You") came from the Babys.
"Every Time I Think of You" is pretty good too.
I had to look that song up but WOW what backup singers!
@@Digglesisdead If you like that one, listen to their other hit "Every Time I Think Of You" ... great harmonies in that one too.
What A Fool Believes-never forgotten, on every playlist, super famous
I can tell you as a black man we still love "What a Fool Believes". Never felt it didn't get love in our community. Same for "Le Freak Chic"
As a white man, born in the 2000's, i can confirm le freak most certainly wasnt "forgotten"
As a purple man, one of my favorites I'll never forget is Disco Duck lol. Not really I hate the stupid song.
Lola plays on our classic rock station alot.
Dude...you sound like you're 12... Some of us actually lived through the 70's...
Just saying...
Yet I still watched it🤔oh man..
Born in 1972, and I do remember a fair number of these.
Born 1994 and I love all of these. I saw the title and was like 'BET!'
Ahh the 70s were great eh.
Speaking as a disco dinosaur . These songs will never be forgotten . Many happy hours playing this music and teaching my kids to dance .
One Tin Soldier (Coven)...don’t know when it came out but certainly has been forgotten by radio.
Billy Jack!!
@@johndef5075 The Coven which is lead by Tom Laughlin's daughter. They had to change the name to the Original Caste. for the movie credits.
@@rebelwalzt I had the 45. Plus the song was featured on Sonny and Cher.
Redbone's HUGE hit in the UK came in 1971; "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" made number 2 ; great song.
Lola, Le Freak and Cars get lots of airplay even nowadays. They're very far from forgotten
Uriah Heep is the most forgotten band from the 70's.They still play, and are making records.
YESSSSS!Lady in Black, Easy Livin'.....great Band, one of the best in my younger days like Golden Earring, Nazareth and and and
""He was a wizard to a thousand Kings"
"Easy Livin'" is probably their most recognizable song.
@@nicoleknight9412 YES! THIS. First band I ever saw live, 1976 aged 15; ma & pa were HUGE fans and their stuff was on all the time. Never better than with David Byron. I met Lee Kerslake in a disco/club one night, aged around 18. He was standing with the hatcheck girl (his g.friend). I could not have been more surprised and neither could he! A disco dollybird coming up and saying "Aren't you Lee Kerslake"? He nearly fell over when I told him they were one of my favourite bands and had seen them! We shook hands nicely, had a laugh at the weirdness of it all and I hit the dance floor. Happy, happy daze.
@@nicoleknight9412 Do you remember, "Paradise/The Spell" and
of course "July Morning"??... David Byron was an awesome
singer and vocalist!! Uriah Heep's music is timeless!!! G.R.
I rember they were the opening band before KISS, Tingly Coliseum, January 1978, Albuquerque, NM.
I remember the song Popcorn by Hot Butter came out in the 1972 '60s and the '70s were great.
I consider Popcorn to be my personal theme song/tune 😄
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 still have some of these on dvd and cassette tape and record
Hi Pam, How are you doing?
Guy needs to quit talking thru all the songs!
Yeah.what ridiculous site Yak, Yak , Yak . I wanted to hear the music not him going on adinfinitem!
Guys: surely you understand that he can’t play the songs in their entirety, and you might note not at all in some cases, due to the threat of the dreaded Copyright Strike?
@@Barrysautospares Maybe a single note from Life on Mars? Perhaps an "F"?
@@Ralph64 Well played, sir. Genuine LOLs
It's to stop copyright infringement
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.
Still play "Feels so good" back to back with Mezzoforte's "Garden Party". Slick cool jazz!
"Summer Rain", written by James Hendricks (no, not him, that was Hendrix) I'd truly a great song.
Summe rRain by Johnny Rivers is not the 1970's though...it was about 1967 toward the end of the year
62 baby here and we had the best of the best
My Sharona...the long version.
Best song ever!
Number one song of 1979.
"Lola" is the most played Kinks song ever. What the hell is he talking about. Screwed up list.
no kidding, everybody knows the words to lola.
Even parodied by Weird Al, so it'll never be forgotten!
You sound like an Apeman (in a parking lot)
Was on the radio last week .
Literally their "signature song", along the lines of "Stairway to Heaven", or "Freebird", or "Satisfaction", or "Smoke on the Water"...etc. Okay, maybe some "Kinks-O-Philes" can make an argument for "You Really Got Me".
R. Dean Taylor "Indiana Wants Me". On a similar note, missing the 70s by a mere 2 months, by release date anyway, Mark Lindsay's "Arizona"
"Arizona" is very underrated. Even though it isn't comical, it makes fun of the whole "hippie" thing, but in a friendly way.
Love both of those. I still play them frequently when I have an oldies listening night, along with songs by America, Three Dog Night, Doobies, Steely Dan, and many others.
@@Oppeldeldoc1 Mark Lindsay’s “Arizona” is one of the top songs on the “Soundtrack Of My Generation”
My very large record collection from when I was a kid was destroyed in a flood some years ago. My R Dean Taylor was one of them. I can't really remember the song but it has nice vocals and guitar work. Another old favorite is Rita Coolidge's "Whiskey, Whiskey".
Lol, I have redbone on my playlist with many other oldies💛🤟🏽
Wildwood Weed, Chick-a-Boom, Timothy, Guitarzan all songs I remember.
"Take a trip, and never leave the farm...'
@@boikatsapiens499 "He says he flew up there. I had to fly up and bring him down, he was about half crazy"
@CrazyCat Lady Interesting genesis.
Lola is played on classic rock stations in the Philadelphia area every day.
Also in the Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton Area at least once or twice a week sometimes more. Sometimes I will hear it once or twice in a day. Same with some of the others mentioned in the video.
The first dance song at my cousin’s wedding was Redbone’s “Come And Get You Love” ☺️… in our Puerto Rican and our new Dutch cousin-in-law’s families, this awesome song is definitely not forgotten 😁.
I've actually heard each & every one if these songs on the radio in the last week alone. We have a REALLY good classic hits radio station where I live.
Cat Stevens: “Oh Very Young”, “Morning has Broken”, “Wild World”, “Peace Train”, “Moon Shadow”
Moon Shadow ❤️
Father to Son
Yeah Cat Steven's has many hit song's.
Hard-headed Woman
@@flowerfaeri That song always makes me cry.
Barry Sadler is my Uncle. And I always sing Ballad of the Green Berets!
Hi Linda , How Are You doing?
@@thomaslorien3276 Hi doing ok and yourself
I LOVED Redbone! Saw them live in Vineland, NJ! lol
Yup, i saw them in Albuquerque
Hi gorgeous!! How are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there?
Saw them at the Echelon Mall in May 1972, when they were part of an all-weekend live concert in the parking lot outside the mall. It was presented by WFIL, and that weekend included performances by Harry Chapin (who had just released his first song, "Taxi"), The Dramatics, Frigid Pink, Jo-Jo Gunne, and Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, who also performed their new hit "Sylvia's Mother" at Paul IV's HS's Saturday night High School dance THAT Saturday night (also courtesy of WFIL and the late, great Boss Jock, Dr. Don Rose). Fun memories...
These songs are still remembered, alive and beloved.
Dr. John is one of the forgotten heroes of that era. Truly a legend amongst the others viewed in this video
Gras Gras Gris Gris.
This guy needs to listen to different radio stations. I hear many of these songs quite frequently.
Damn, I wanted to hear some tunes, not blather from some wannabe DJ. 😁
then why did you watch his pod cast and leave a comment... just to be an irritant?
@@larryscantland7192 why not?
@@larryscantland7192 It would be nice to hear more than 4 seconds of the song.
I remember Lola was on the radio everyday. . These all bring back different memories. Love it.
Whenever I Call You Friend - Kenny Loggins & Stevie Nicks
I had the cutest rat as a class pet and her name was Lola. Every day as we were transitioning from lunch to math, my kiddos would ask, “Can we hear Lola’s song?” I would play the first minute of it and it was soooo sweet to hear 25 first graders singing “Lola,
L-O-L-A, Lola, La,La,La,Lola.”
Ok. That is absolutely precious! My mother taught kindergartners for years and it never ceased to make her blissfully happy when she got the kids to learn and sing along with songs she loved.💞
I grew up in the 70s. Because of my parents and grandparents I listen to music going back as far as glen miller. The future, well my 4 month old grandson, the music lives on.
"The Year of the Cat" (Al Stewart) and "Ebony Eyes" and "Sentimental Lady" ( Bob Welch)
Top 10 forgotten songs from the 70s and the first one is from 1966? Good work!
I saw Dr. John and Bonnie Rait in 1979/1980 at an outdoor concertina a Saturday afternoon in New England on the side of a mountain. The tickets were $12 and it was a beautiful day and one of the best days in my life. Great Times! I miss those days
You forgot anything by the late great Harry Chapin.
Good call.
I love Cats and the Cradle.
Taxi driver 👍
@@tonygville2969 just Taxi not taxi driver.
@@raoularmagnac2037 best song ever!!!!
Who on earth has forgotten lola and life on mars both still huge here in the UK
It’s a very American-centric video.
I still listen to Lola, What a Fool Believes, Le Freak, Come and Get You Love, and Right Place/Wrong Time.
And as far as hearing any of these today… No one is hearing anything but Hip Hop and Country on the “radio.”
Not one song on this list is forgotten - I guarantee you if I turn on the radio I will hear Lola within 10 minutes, probably followed by What a Fool Believes. And how has Cars been forgotten? This song is on CBSFM every night.
What a fool believes is played on K-Hits every day here in Sacramento!
@jasonrathbaum channels like this one, get an idea of something to upload in YT regardless of it's authenticity or not.... then we turn up, give it the thumbs up or down, throw in our pennys worth of comment and... pang, the channel owner has another couple dollars more in his pocket !!!
Money for nothing and your beer for free ( or whatever product you are pushing at the time).
You could turn on any Classic Rock Radio station sure you'll hear Lola
"Cars" was in heavy rotation when MTV first aired. Great song.
I was singing along to “The Ballad of the Green Berets” yesterday. Now that the song has come up, I’ll be singing it again. 😊
80s gems needed. Til' Tuesday, "Voices Carry" Donnie Iris "Ah Yeah!"
Strong choices.
Love Ah Leah!
Us gen-you-wine Pixberg Jagoffs know that it's "Ah!, Leah!" an 'nat.
Leah is a real pop 💎
Till Tuesday,I featuring the great Amy Mann.
I hear all these songs on SiriusXM channels 7, classic rewind and Yacht Rock radio.

I don't recognize some of these song titles and I couldn't hear any of them because you talked all the way through them.
Absolutely.
Reminiscing about a song involves actually being able to HEAR the song. Please STOP TALKING so much and let the music have at least a fraction of the spotlight! I don’t think you understand how annoying all the chatter is.
How is Come And Get Your Love at Number 4 it’s literally one of the most recognizable songs from 70s nowadays
I never forgot about a single one of these. I actually listened to cars while stuck in traffic today.
