Bleck.. not a fan of that one.  I have it on one of my "Have A Nice Day: Hits of the 70s" CDs.  But here's some others from that same time.

So whatta you know?   :wink:  You're too young and know most of your selections from compilations discs...  :tongueout:  Where can any of these old records take you back too?   :wink:

I got the comp discs mostly because I remember nearly all those songs from my youth.  Plus, a lot of them were one-hit wonders.

I'm not really a fan of slower, more soulful stuff (Gaye, White, Green, etc.); I like it more peppy, funky, faster, more busy.  I do like Ooh Child and More Today Than Yesterday quite a bit.

Speaking of one-hit wonders.. more from later in the '70s.

Keep 'em coming?  :teddyr:  Time to consume our Christmas bonbons in the New Year, some not so appealing, or sticky even, and some mighty tasty, all old and most, though, are non-nutritive:

:smile: It's called "Rock On".  And it doesn't Rock at all!!  :lookingup: :thumbup:
Love it! Great Dumb record!  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6-4N0IPVh8  VICKI LAWRENCE's record was huge.  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-L0NpaErkk&feature=related Always liked this silly record.   :twirl:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68i4tMmv9F4&feature=related Couldn't remember if we'd hit this one THREE DOG NIGHT one, I know we swapped several; "Black and White" is not a favorite of mine, but most certainly one of "those" songs that take me back.  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJmBPCYt5LY&feature=relatedBTO are old memories.   :smile:

I don't think we did Summer Breeze yet; I remember seeing it on ALL those comp albums way back when.

Here's my favorite Ringo song (which was also on a Heinz Ketchup commercial):

My folks had Cosmo's Factory, one of the greatest albums ever.  My fave from that album:

And this one, a bit sped up here but still great.
