The Bee Gees - How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
Five Man Electrical Band - Signs

Don't Give Up On Us - David Soul
Let Her In - John Travolta

Notice that I've tried to stay away from disco as much as possible? These are some of the songs that I actually used to hear. Except for Donna Summer and a few others, disco songs didn't really get played all that much on the radio.

Grab a copy of Saturday Night Fever (sound track), grab a copy of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, grab a copy of Jim Croce ("Bad Leroy Brown" etc), grab a copy of America ("Horse with No Name"), grab a copy of ELO (gotta have "Evil Woman")... those are some examples. The 70's time period was a time period where we were getting out of a war (Vietnam) that had become controversial, the soldiers were being treated like crap to be honest, and everyone wanted something that reached down into the soul to just get out of it all.... then the disco era jumped in. In the early 70's the music was structured towards escaping. Even the hard rock such as Janis Japlin (another one you may want). It then phased into disco and then we drifted off into the early 80's and music like Madonna (big hair and clothes with alot of zippers, break dancing and movies like "The Breakfast Club".) We ended up leaving the escape mode, into the disco mode and the next thing you knew the majority of the population was escaping the escape idea and found themselves reaching for the conservative approach. Hope you have fun and thanks for reminding me of just how old I have become.... Take Care ....... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
BTW you can get a 70's collection at alot of music stores for old people like me LOL
