A great list 70s song
02/28/2023 | Me

Posted on 02/28/2023 1:41:34 PM PST by Kevin in California

Streaming music as I work and this song popped up. Been many years since I've heard it last but loved it growing up. One of Paul's best. I love the line in the song "I never thought to ask her what the letter G stood for, but I know it wasn't good"!

Sally G.....enjoy.

I Cheat The Hangman is another great Doobies song that never got the recognition it should have.

Maybe the single greatest group of musicians ever assembled on one stage

Yes, that trombonist (my instrument) is a killer. Bruce Fowler.

Zappa was the real deal, no two ways about it.

Mostly because it reminds me of a certain movie about Hockey

After I was divorced in 2001, I started taking dance lessons and became quite good. Never had a problem with women accepting requests for a dance.

However, if a guy is a good hustle dancer, women will pretty much line up for a hustle dance.

I never thought that was maudlin. In fact, I liked it. I thought it was sincere, from the heart.

I never knew it had anything to do with Vietnam.

It wasn't as obvious as The Green Berets, by SSgt Barry Sadler, or Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town, by Kenny Rogers and The First Edition.

You’re riding through a desert on a horse for what? Nine days? You don’t have time to name the flippin horse?!

But seriously, good song and yeah, that lyric is pretty bad.

I liked the song also, it is from 1969.

I don’t know for sure but I think someone may have put that Vietnam War video to it on their own, if so, they did a fine job.

I was born in 1970, so most of my appreciation for 70s music has come from listening to it later on as an adult, but one song I remember really liking as a kid was Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce. I still like it now, but I think I liked it at the time mainly because I could sing it and my parents would let me get away with swearing. “Baddest man in the whole damn town”

Oh yeah! Hot Chocolate, lots of great dance hits. My favorite was Every 1’s a Winner. Earth, Wind & Fire, too, Let’s Groove. And Disco Inferno (Burn Baby Burn). And... Good Times, Celebrate, Dazz (Disco Jazz), Funky Town, Let The Music Play, Fever. Great soul from that time, AL Green, Stylistics, Marvin Gaye, O’Jays, Curtis Mayfield, Timmy Thomas...

Then on the Rock side was lots of great Steely Dan, Ricky Don’t Lose That Number, Doobies’ Black Water, the whole southern boogie thing with the Allman Brothers, Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Blackstone. And the Eagles, America, Gordon Lightfoot. I thought the 70s had such great music, I could go on and on.

Donovan had Sue Lyon (Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita) for a girlfriend, but she dumped him when he gave her LSD without her knowledge or permission. Pretty dumb.

Trick question, no such songs exist from the 70s.
