My favorite song of the 1970s

[The Genealogist]

Brandy by Looking Glass. Every time I hear it, I can feel my blood pressure drop. The song just makes me happy, no matter how many times I hear it. The 45 mix is a sped up a little and the bongos are more prominent on the bridge.

What is your favorite song from the decade?

1. I heard a band play that last month--

And the musicians were about 20. I think maybe one of their moms loved the song too!

[The Genealogist]

7. I'd love to hear this song live

There is a pretty good cover band that plays at the local regional fair every year, and I wish they'd cover it!

2. Best line--

"But my life, my lover, my lady.... is the sea!"

(I bet Brandy was a lot better. <G&gt

[The Genealogist]

9. I enjoy this song as well

Tho the song is older than the time, it reminds me of summers during my college years in the 90s, when the radio was tuned to the classic rock station. I worked on a crew that painted residence hall rooms. Not hard work, and everyone had a pretty good time.

10. Anytime I go to a karaoke party...

It's usually one of my standards, along with another Kansas hit, "Dust in the Wind."

[The Genealogist]

21. I am so much an introvert...

I have to have a couple of drinks to even consider doing karaoke. When I do, my go-to song is "Down to My Last Cigarette" in the style of k.d. lang.

[BootinUp]

16. here's the video.

yep, great one.

[asiliveandbreathe]

18. thank you thank you - refreshing -

[The Genealogist]

23. I have heard people knock this song but I think it is fun!

It is sung with a nod and a wink, and it is so fun to watch people's faces when they realize what the song is about!

[asiliveandbreathe]

24. I'm glad I put my drink down...

[Corgigal]

14. I just thought of this song today.

[The Genealogist]

15. I like this version very much

I am still partial to Jackie Wilson's version, but there is just something about this more laid back version that is so attractive. I think Rita Coolidge's voice is so well suited for this song.

Is it just me or is that a great so-simple-but-so -true statements?

[FM123]

30. It sure is, and timeless too...

[BootinUp]

32. Many, many songs to choose from, but I'll pick "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder.

[BootinUp]

33. Steve Miller Band Jungle Love 1977

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

34. I was a college DJ at KCPR CalPoly San Luis Obispo

And this album came in. I took it home to review and picked Brandy as a potential hit. Have always loved the song. Danny Okeefe and his LP Breezy Stories was full of great music.

Thanks for the memories...
