[“You and Me Against the World.”]

Now that was a pretty good song. Took me back to the 1970’s.

[McGruff]

Oh God, I hated that song.

[Trillian]

This simpsons clip still cracks me up.

[jmacusa]

How sad. I remember how my mother like to play Reddy’s music on our stereo. Reddy was a classy woman with a very nice voice. Makes me think of the 70’s. A long vanished America.

With due respect to Helen’s roar, I’d rather get walked all over by Nancy Sinatra.

[wally_bert]

Me either.

[wally_bert]

I think he did a song for Dexter’s Lab.

[OttawaFreeper]

Airport 1975 and Airplane!, two of my favourite movies. And Lorna Patterson being a TV crush of mine in 1981-82 when she was Private Benjamin.

The women’s lib movement in the 70’s was a a royal pain in the ass which lingers to this day. Not for the ultimate goals but for the the rank obnoxiousness of the major proponents.

I loved that show! Used to watch it when my kids were little.

“I am woman, hear me snore.”

[mkleesma]

Ahhh yes....what memories....

Here’s a great video of when she appeared on the show Rock Concert With Big Jim McBride and Billy Saul Hirock:

Wow, those were the days!

My favorite Paul Williams tune is Hucklebuck

My favorite Paul Williams song is "Old Fashioned Love Song" as sung by Three Dog Night.

Old Fashioned Love Song

[1Old Pro]

WOW, they’re dropping like flies.

[1Old Pro]

Makes me think of the 70’s. A long vanished America.

All the songs I heard on the kitchen Am radio for news and weather before going to K-12.

[M Kehoe]

“WOW, they’re dropping like flies.”

And Keith Richards is laughing.
