I married the woman who waited 3 years for me to come back from the army the only one who was at the airport when I came home and still the love of my life 💗💗💗💗💗💗
@@robertmalfy8552 It would be nice if everyone who came back from the war had their girlfriends waiting for them! After all it wasn’t fun over there! That’s how you know you’ve got a good woman, if she’s there for you! Glad you’re happy! You deserve it!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wonderful. I left to go in the Marines in April 76. My girlfriend said she would wait. Two months later, I'm 2/3 of the way thru Parris Island and I get a dear John letter. Glad your girl stayed!
@@rickjohnson2165 Isn't that with a lot of things? Perhaps a personal perception also or how could it be popular? I recall working at Pep Boys in 1983. The store played the radio over the speakers. George Strait 'Amarillo By Morning' played every f'n hour so it seemed. I hated that song. I was 19 at the time. Fast forward 20 years and suddenly that song wasn't so bad.
You had to live in the 70s to understand how great the music was. Everyone listened to the radio. Most cars only had AM radio where the stations played the hits. If you had FM radio you had other verities of stations, but FM was just starting to be popular.
Amen I would give anything to go back to the 70s and 80s even if its just for a little while keep on loving you, what was that song boogie down, or something oh yeah lets just kiss and say goodbye ❤❤ were are the real women of the 70s and 80s i would love to go have a great time With one ❤❤❤
"Oh what a night", "50 ways to leave your lover", "Sara smile", "You sexy thing" , "Golden Years", Bohemian Rhapsody ", "Do you know where you're going to"... there are lots of great songs. I was that 14yo glued to the radi... ended up becoming a radio dj as my 1st career. Lived the music of the 70"s and 80's.
I always thought Oh what a night was strange. JFK just got shot a month before, and this guy has a one night stand so intense he wrote a song about it.
Those were the days, born in 64, and leave the late 70, 80 and 90. I can say that i have a lot of fun with my gang. Now the kids have fun in a very diferent way from us, now hitech is the lighthouse for them.
'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgearlds' by Gordon Lightfoot. It was a six-minute-long song about the real life sinking of a freighter on Lake Superior the year before. This song was slow, like a sea dirge with Lightfoot, using research and fact, recounting the disaster with such lines as 'Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?' and 'And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.' In a world of music caught up in disco this haunting, despairing song was a surprise hit that went to no.2 on the chart. Staying there for a number of weeks. Lightfoot btw, donated all of his royalties to the families of the 29-man crew that died. I can't believe 'Disco Duck' was picked over this masterpiece.
RIP Gordon his songs are timeless, personal favorites, Sundown and Carefree Highway. Songs came out when I was a kid, heard them around the house. Soon made them my own when i got older. Timeless........ Peace....
Amen!! Also did you know the bell from the Edmund Fitzgearld was retrieved and every year on the anniversary of this terrible disaster it's rang 29 times for the men that lost their lives. After the death of the GREAT Gordon Lightfoot The families of the 29 have all voted in favor of the bell being rang 30 times in honor of Mr. Lightfoot. RIP to all involved.
That song is timeless. The anniversary is just about a month from now, November 10. I also always remember the Captains and the crews of the Arthur M. Anderson and William Clay Ford. A very courageous move to go back out into that storm and look for the Fitz.
@@gaskellr44 It was kind of sad and had one of Fecalfinger's famous "Flubbering Gasser" backbeat sounds. Some say it's a little like the song "Let's Have a Party in My Pants" by Jerry Jerherkinghoffmeister and the Squeezers. Remember that one ?
@@superfly3990 Surely that song was done by "The Sitonmyface Brigade", who used to be called "The lefthanded Onanists", until they got caught right handed. Their best song was, if I remember was "Wake me up, as I love to see the big ones that float".
Bob Seger’s Night Moves takes me right back to what being a teenager in 1976 felt like. The world was full of possibilities. Every Friday night we all wondered what kind of connection or excitement was waiting for us. Music was amazing. The cars were great and the girls…the girls were…I’ll just leave it there. What a great time to be young.
Lowdown by Boz Scaggs ruled my hometown airwaves in late-summer and early fall of '76. Killer track with a poppin' bass. Also, Dream Weaver and Love Is Alive, both by Gary Wright, were massive.
The great thing about the 70s was being a child and listening to KC Kasems top 40 and 100. Such a mega diverse list week after week. Radio stations were still a big deal with fun Djs
According to an article the song was recorded just when everyone was kicked out of Cuba. They couldn't take a lot of cash, so they recorded the song and the rest is musical history.
Paul Simon, 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover Boston, More Than A Feeling Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody The Spinners, Rubberband Man Captain and Tennille, Shop Around Rose Royce, Car Wash John Sebastian, Welcome Back (Kotter) BeeGees, You Should Be Dancing Aerosmith, Dream On Eagles, Take It To The Limit So many good ones from the Bicentennial Year.
Absolutely the best. Saw the Eagles at the now demolished Cap Center in Landover, Md on May 22, 1977. Opening act was Linda Ronstadt. By far the best concert I ever attended. One can still still see the whole show on RUclips.
If you don't see me here in 2024, look for me in 1976, or any of the 70's. I'll be back there at the lake, swimming, listening to the radio, playing frisbee.
Nothing against this list, this is more of a "pop" light list. I was around 17 so I was listening to Boston, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, Rush and the Eagles. FM radio was playing more of the music I wanted to hear than the top 40 AM stations. I liked the album oriented record (AOR) format over the top 40/10 AM selections.
When Fooled around and Fell in Love was first released, my neighbor's dog would always go over and sit near the radio every time that song started to play, and just sit there and listen to it. The dog must have really liked that song.
Tonight's the Night is the creepiest song I ever heard. Some people think Don't Fear the Reaper,also from 1976, is creepy. I think it's awesome. So does my boyfriend Larry. Sound advice. Don't Fear the Reaper. Let him fear YOU! He's tried to get me several times but I've always managed to give him rhe slip.
I got sooooo sick of that song! I liked their second album much better. More than a feeling was very bland to me. But now most of these songs are. Gospel songs are much better. More than a feeling is juvenile silliness for middle schoolers. How is this song not boring to you? There’s no depth. It’s like eating kale everyday.
@@dianem6951 well some of us like that and not gospel songs. To each their own. It’s what makes the world go on. But the album has sold over 20 million copies, so a lot of ppl like it. I reps t gospel songs, just not going to listen to for my fun. We all differ and can disagree with respect. Have a nice day
Thank you for this video! I listened to all of them when I was fourteen. I also loved "Love Hangover" with Diana Ross, surprised I didn't find it here. I remember I brought the single "Disco Duck" to the youth discoteque asking the DJ to play it. 1:39
OPEC embargoes, Watergate, stagflation, exploding Ford Pintos, and you couldn't get a decent IPA to save your life. Although...I was like 12, so I wasn't quite so impacted by the lack of good beer.
Dancing Queen by ABBA in 1976 was my favorite song in the summer & fall of 1976! This song took some of Europe's disco clubs like fiery storm and you could here the song everywhere: Vienna, Berlin, Tirana, Stockholm & Amsterdam (to nema some cities I was dancing to this song that year.)
@@jeffhintz7733 No. It was released in August 1976 and reached N°1 in 18 countries. But its chart topping success probably spilled over into the beginning of 1977.
@@ericfreeman5795 The beginning of ‘77? It played constantly all throughout ‘77 and actually remained quite popular thru the end of the 70’s (‘78 & ‘79) too. I can see where it may have been released in ‘76 and took awhile to get to the northern mid-west. Many songs are popular in Europe first. But definitely a timeless classic!
For the record, the greatest two-year run for pop music is without question between the summer of '75 and the end of '76. It's not close. One of my favorite songs from '76 Is a haunting tune from Blue Oyster Cult ... (Don't Fear) The Reaper
The bicentennial year was filled with so much music diversity. A year like no other, of course my senior year, the war had ended, peace and tranquility, there was a reason to dance and enjoy! The days of true music and pure voices!
I do love Bill Conte's Gonna Fly Now from the Rocky movie in 1976! A song that makes you want to run up the Art Museum in Philadelphia for sure! Period and that's that!
I love that year in music. I was 15. My personal favorite was "Ill Be Good To You" by The Brother's Johnson. My aunt favorite was "Let's Just Kiss And Say Goodbye ".
Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear The Reaper" Wild Cherry "Play That Funky Music" Four Seasons "Oh What A Night" Steve Miller "Fly Like An Eagle" Peter Frampton "Frampton Comes Alive"
Listening to this in 76 and having a good time. Rolling skating Friday and Saturday nite. But who's with me in November 2024. Peace my beautiful people.
Not sure how you can do a list of 1976 without including 'Play That Funky Music' by Wild Cherry .... song spent 3 weeks at no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September and October of 1976, and was the 3rd single ever certified Platinum ....
The summer of '76 I was living with a girl who had classes in the morning and I worked 2nd shift (5 to1) so all we had was afternoon and did we make it delight filled. This was our song. She went on to be a lawyer while i met the love of my life in aug 9 '80 and we got our farm.
Y'all must have lived some miserable lives and have probably made as many other's lives miserable as well. Steve and Stephanie stick in the muds. Wouldn't know how to have fun if someone stuck a fun stick up your butt.
I was a guest at a Holiday Inn hotel in Kansas City in 1981 located near the Country Club Plaza Mall. The Bellamy Bros were also staying there, we rode the elevator together more than once. I had no idea who they were, I was familiar with the music but had idea what they looked like. Someone recognized them, and told me that's how I found out. The hotel still there, in 2018 my wife, and I stayed there again after all these years.
Billboard year end Top Ten for 1976: 1. Wings - Silly Love Songs 2. Elton John/Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breakin' My Heart 3. Johnny Taylor - Disco Lady 4. Four Seasons - December 1963 (Oh, What a Night) 5. Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music 6. Manhattans - Kiss and Say Goodbye 7. The Miracles - Love Machine 8. Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover 9. Gary Wright - Love Is Alive 10. Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven
Don’t Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult and I’m gonna cheat here thrown in another selection with Do You Feel Like We Do? by Peter Frampton! Great footage here. My first year of purchasing vinyl records. I’m almost 63 now! Great memories! Thanks for sharing!
K.C. and the Sunshine Band??? Shake Your Booty!!!! ABBA???? Dancing Queen!!!! They would play those songs two or three times a night at the roller skating rink. Easily the biggest songs of 1976

Rare
Born in 1949 and loved music in the 50 60 70 and 80s. Made my kids listen to the oldies...
I think growing up in the 70s is what makes me hate getting old because it was the best of times and so much music that takes you back to that time
Yea my little brother's call me & my big brother old farts damn little bastard 😂 but those are the great times
BOSTON - More than a Feeling !
Spot on!
Now we're talkin' Takin' it to the Streets, It Keeps you Runnin' One of these nights.
Freedom Rock!!😊
Boston was just amazing!
Beautiful song
Born in the 60s, grew up during the 70s, into the 80s. Arguably the best era of music.
I agree 💯
Yes it was!
It was a great era, but none of these songs made it great. They reminded me of how much crap was also released.

Me too!!😊
Me too! I vote for Sara Smile by Hall and Oates

Me too, and yes
Disco Duck was dumb for sure. I was 12 years old and new that song was lame.

And no cell phones with camera's everywhere.

Dancing Queen by ABBA in 1976 was my favorite song in the summer & fall of 1976! This song took some of Europe's disco clubs like fiery storm and you could here the song everywhere: Vienna, Berlin, Tirana, Stockholm & Amsterdam (to nema some cities I was dancing to this song that year.)
probably hundreds of better tracks.....
Dancing Queen was 1977
@@jeffhintz7733 No. It was released in August 1976 and reached N°1 in 18 countries. But its chart topping success probably spilled over into the beginning of 1977.
@@ericfreeman5795 The beginning of ‘77? It played constantly all throughout ‘77 and actually remained quite popular thru the end of the 70’s (‘78 & ‘79) too. I can see where it may have been released in ‘76 and took awhile to get to the northern mid-west. Many songs are popular in Europe first. But definitely a timeless classic!
The entire ABBA repertoire was stinky kaka-poo-poo!
"More Than a Feeling" by Boston was released on August 25, 1976 and saved the USA from disco.
If You Leave Me Now is still my all-time favorite song.
It is so hard to believe that that was Chicago's first number one single according to Billboard magazine.
Mine, too! Whenever If You Leave Me Now came on the radio, I sang it to my daddy and he'd often cry!
Oh god, Chicago.
The Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy always rocked our Air Force barracks.
One of the greatest rock songs ever. A big hit that should have been even bigger.
The Boys Are Back un Town. Where had they been? In the Big House!!!
What a wonderful time, very nostalgic 😊
If you leave me now. Chicago
Year of the Cat by Al Stewart.
Gr8 song!!! 😊
All these songs bring back good memories.
For the record, the greatest two-year run for pop music is without question between the summer of '75 and the end of '76. It's not close. One of my favorite songs from '76 Is a haunting tune from Blue Oyster Cult ... (Don't Fear) The Reaper
Great tune!
The only cult I would join is a Blue Oyster Cult
@@kevintaylor3427 But it needed more cow bell
I was 14 years old in 1976, so I remember all these classics!
Me too.Great music.
We gotta get right back where we started from by Maxine Nightingale
MY FAVORITE GROUP ABBA SANG DANCING QUEEN & HAD MANY OTHER GREAT SONGS WORLD WIDE!!!!! LEGENDARY GROUP !!!!!!
Moonlight Feels Right is probably my main/favorite song memory from 1976….
That's the Way (uh huh ih huh) I Like It (uh huh uh huh)! KC & the Sunshine Band
The bicentennial year was filled with so much music diversity. A year like no other, of course my senior year, the war had ended, peace and tranquility, there was a reason to dance and enjoy! The days of true music and pure voices!
I was 18 in 1976. Maybe 2 of these I agree with. Like many others say here. There was tons of excellent songs that year.
What a year. For this then 8,-year-old boy, it was one of the happiest eras of my life during the that decade.
I was a mobile DJ in those years and they were also great years for me.
@@frontendloader1000 😊
I was 9yrs old!
You left out my fav soul band Tavares Heaven must be missing an angel….
I do love Bill Conte's Gonna Fly Now from the Rocky movie in 1976! A song that makes you want to run up the Art Museum in Philadelphia for sure! Period and that's that!
That song was almost an instrumental version of "You take my heart away" a song in the same movie.
@@Sarasdad91 Okay! I didn't know that. Thank you for your help!
I have a few of '76ers: like "Love So Right"(Bee Gees), "Sweet Love"(Commodores); and "If You Leave Me Now"(Chicago), an many more!
Love the beegees
Yes! Bee Gee's were great!
Rubberband Man by the Spinners had a run on the top of the charts.
Afternoon delight was the best
I love that year in music. I was 15. My personal favorite was "Ill Be Good To You" by The Brother's Johnson. My aunt favorite was "Let's Just Kiss And Say Goodbye ".
Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear The Reaper"
Wild Cherry "Play That Funky Music"
Four Seasons "Oh What A Night"
Steve Miller "Fly Like An Eagle"
Peter Frampton "Frampton Comes Alive"
So many greats.
DREAM WEAVER
@@hon8177
Yup
Listening to this in 76 and having a good time. Rolling skating Friday and Saturday nite. But who's with me in November 2024. Peace my beautiful people.
Tonight's The Night Gonna Be Alright Rod Stewart 1976
Not sure how you can do a list of 1976 without including 'Play That Funky Music' by Wild Cherry .... song spent 3 weeks at no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September and October of 1976, and was the 3rd single ever certified Platinum ....
Silly Love Songs rocks!
Not really. It's a catchy pop love song. Paul's bass lines made it work!
Kiki Dee criminally underated
The summer of '76 I was living with a girl who had classes in the morning and I worked 2nd shift (5 to1) so all we had was afternoon and did we make it delight filled. This was our song. She went on to be a lawyer while i met the love of my life in aug 9 '80 and we got our farm.
Absolutely love this I graduated in 1979 so all this music is what I listened to and danced too.
You named all of the songs I want to forget.
I was not listening to this music in 1976!
@@julenepegher6999 Well I didn't either but if you were alive back then, you heard it somewhere whether you wanted to or not.
@@JD-nq4vb that’s true. I thought your comment was funny because I’d like to forget them too.
@@julenepegher6999 I knew I wasn't alone on that.
Y'all must have lived some miserable lives and have probably made as many other's lives miserable as well.
Steve and Stephanie stick in the muds. Wouldn't know how to have fun if someone stuck a fun stick up your butt.
76 was the epitome of great music, very diverse and inspired.
I was a guest at a Holiday Inn hotel in Kansas City in 1981 located near the Country Club Plaza Mall. The Bellamy Bros were also staying there, we rode the elevator together more than once. I had no idea who they were, I was familiar with the music but had idea what they looked like.
Someone recognized them, and told me that's how I found out. The hotel still there, in 2018 my wife, and I stayed there again after all these years.
Love 💕 is like Oxygen. SWEET.
1978
A real pop poop POS!
Afternoon delight takes me right back to 76 loved it never played today on channels ever

Frampton came alive that year
Love to remember the good old days
More Than a Feeling.
A great year for music
The entire Boston album.

Hell yeah totally bad ass
Best debut album of all time at the time.
K.C. and the Sunshine Band??? Shake Your Booty!!!! ABBA???? Dancing Queen!!!!
They would play those songs two or three times a night at the roller skating rink.
Easily the biggest songs of 1976
