I'm surprised that the Bee Gees "Fanny be Tender with my Love" (released in January, 1976) was not on that list. In my opinion,, that song is quite electrifying,, and can be kind of a tear-jerker at the same time,, while listening to it.
My favorite 70's love song to Heatwave's "Always And Forever!" What a beautiful song song came out in 1977! That'sy choice for love somg in 1970's for sure!
How true Jim. I was born in March 1963 and was a kid of the 1970s and I am glad glad that I grew up in a great decade for music. Music from then will be played for many decades to come but as you say the garbage around today will be forgotten about.
I agree wavesurfer. Kids today don't know they are born. I wish we could return to those days from about 1971 onwards to 1979. Best Music Best Television Best Radio. We had Noel Edmonds on the Radio One Breakfast Show Top of the Pops on a Thursday Starsky and Hutch on a Saturday Night. Chopper Bikes etc etc. we found an old dumped pram and made a go cart out of it. Go out all day untill it got dark.j think kids today are too moddy codalled.
@@TonyWeaving exactly, agree 100% with you, i don't recognise the uk anymore because it's just not the country it once was but i am so grateful i was born in the 60s and can say honestly i did love my childhood & as you say we went out playing all day, made our own fun like making catapults and old baked bean cans into stilts, no phones, no social media, just brilliant fun with friends, i remember those days with a smile 😁✌
My partner who was a lot younger than me said what did you do about food being out all day. I said we didn't really bother we had a couple of bottles of drink and that did us.
“Lean on me" Bill Withers was the first song I ever dedicated to a girl, it was 1971 and we were 4th grade classmates and she needed a friend. The next year, 72, I dedicated “The first time ever I saw your face" R.F. to her After our first kiss. From there, I’ve given away zillions of love songs
August of '73. Gee, I turned 13 in August of '73. A great groove, too! You Make Me Feel Brand New. Had it on 45 rpm. Wonderful Tonight. Make It With You. Danced to it in '73/74.
Where do I start...I'll be there; You light up my life; Three times a lady; You're in my heart(you're in my soul); you're my first, my last my everything; After the love is gone; Close to you; She's gone; Me and Mrs. Jones; My eyes adored you......
We’ve Only Just Begun by the Carpenters was played as we came out of the vestry from signing the register for our marriage back in 1973. I really had to twist the ministers arm to do it, but I believe it was played a lot that year, once he worked out the lyrics, he liked it. “ white lace and promises, a kiss for luck and we’re on our way……. We’ve only just begun “
OH YES ! ONE MORE CLASSIC LOVE SONG FROM THE 70'S !! THE MAESTRO : MR BARRY WHITE, & THE LOVE UNLIM,ITED ORCHESTRA , " LOVE'S THEME ", FROM LATE '73. THIS IS A TRUE TIMELESS CLASSIC ----------------MJL, 78 Y/O
In my humble opinion I'm Not In Love by 10CC is the greatest love song from the 70's!! Another beautiful song that should have been mentioned is , Just The Way You Are by the brilliant Billy Joel 😊
I always liked Bob Seeger's "We've Got Tonight", and the Carpenters "We've Only Just Begun"... Also Barbra Streisand's "Evergreen"....They defined the 1970's love songs for me.
Meat Loaf’s Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad Dr Hook’s Sharing the Night Together England Dan & John Ford Coley’s Love is the Answer Manhattan’s Shining Star (technically 1980, but it’s still a damn good song) Player’s Baby Come Back
I gave you a like because you did include some beautiful songs. But me, I'm an early 1960's Baby. Some songs that were more romantic include "Stoned In Love With you" by the Stylistics'; "My Eyes Adored You" by Frankie Valli; "I Like Dreamin'" by Kenny Nolan. Those are just to name a few.
Let's Get It On - 9 You make me feel brand new - 8 Tonight - 7 Make It With You - 6 Your Song + 5 Without You - 4 I'm Not In Love - 3 Let's Stay Together - 2 How Deep Is Your Love + a Always On My Mind - 1 The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face -
Eagles - Best Of My Love, Olivia Newton John - Have You Never Been Mellow, Frankie Valli, - My Eyes Adored You, Captain And Tennille - Love Will Keep Us Together, Hamilton, Joe Frank And Reynolds - Fallin In Love, Dianna Ross - Love Hangover, Mary MacGregor - Torn Between Two Lovers, Player - Baby Come Back, King Harvest - Dancing in the Moonlight, Pure Prairie League - Amie
Good list. WONDERFUL TONIGHT should be # 1. The Bread and Marvin Gaye tunes are LUST songs... not love songs. WITHOUT YOU and I'M NOT IN LOVE are too ambiguous. Missing: MY LOVE - Paul McCartney FOR ALL WE KNOW - The Carpenters EVERGREEN - Barbara Streisand THREE TIMES A LADY - The Commodores

I don't think you can narrow it down to just ten songs. You've got the Carpenters, Olivia Newton-John, Commodores, Rod Stewart, Leo Sayer, Frankie Vali, Lobo, Donna Summer, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Rita Coolidge, Paul Davis, Ambrosia, Jim Croce...etc. The 70s was jam packed with love songs. And the best thing about them was they were singing to the woman or the man. It wasn't about them, the songs were messages to them.
I love all these quirky old songs ,that’s part of what made the 70s great 😃 side-note, I liked America’s version of muskrat love better than Captain and Tennille’s version 🙂

Let me know what your favorite 1970s Love song was. Do you think there's a song that should of made this list?
Chicago If You Leave Me Now from 1976 should have made the list.
I'm surprised that the Bee Gees "Fanny be Tender with my Love" (released in January, 1976) was not on that list. In my opinion,, that song is quite electrifying,, and can be kind of a tear-jerker at the same time,, while listening to it.
What about 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' by Olivia Newton John also a soundtrack in Grease.
I miss The Carpenters lovesongs throughout the 70s, start with Close to You in 1970. Agree with you about Roberta Flack as no 1 ❤from 🇩🇰
I agree I hated it as a kid but now I love it
We played the Bread album over and over ❤
All those beautiful songs are classic already!
My favorite 70's love song to Heatwave's "Always And Forever!" What a beautiful song song came out in 1977! That'sy choice for love somg in 1970's for sure!
You Light Up My Life, I Honestly Love You
" You Are So Beautiful " by Joe Cocker. So full of emotion
Firefall
Just Remember I Love You
The Bread song 'If' should have been considered for this list. Perhaps in a Part 2 video.
The late 60s and 70s had the best music. The garbage they’re passing off as music now is a slap in the face to song writers.
How true Jim. I was born in March 1963 and was a kid of the 1970s and I am glad glad that I grew up in a great decade for music. Music from then will be played for many decades to come but as you say the garbage around today will be forgotten about.
@@TonyWeaving same as, the 70s was the absolute best of everything, i miss those years but so happy i lived & loved it ☮✌😁

Reunited by peaches and Herb was a great love song
“Lean on me" Bill Withers was the first song I ever dedicated to a girl, it was 1971 and we were 4th grade classmates and she needed a friend. The next year, 72, I dedicated “The first time ever I saw your face" R.F. to her After our first kiss.
From there, I’ve given away zillions of love songs
August of '73. Gee, I turned 13 in August of '73. A great groove, too!
You Make Me Feel Brand New. Had it on 45 rpm.
Wonderful Tonight.
Make It With You. Danced to it in '73/74.
How deep is your love bee gees
What a year for the Bee Gees,Pure Class ❤️❤️
The 70s wouldn't be the same without them!!!❤
❤ YES BIG MUSIC 🎶 🎵 THE 1970TS LOVE IT ❤️ 😍 💖 TIMES NO LIMIT FOR MUSIC 😊 😍 🤩 ☺️......
Roberta Flack. So beautiful!
Where do I start...I'll be there; You light up my life; Three times a lady; You're in my heart(you're in my soul); you're my first, my last my everything; After the love is gone; Close to you; She's gone; Me and Mrs. Jones; My eyes adored you......
In my opinion Neil Sedaka’s “Laughter in the Rain” has to be included in any list of 70’s love songs.
I fully agree!
Nah ...too pop.
@@floyd8153 your opinion.
Bread and Stlisticz, Chilites. Wonderful tonight was great.
The Air that I breathe by the Hollies deserves a honorable ment
Bread, Stylistics, Chilites & Elton John. In fact all are good. Frm Malaysia

In my humble opinion I'm Not In Love by 10CC is the greatest love song from the 70's!! Another beautiful song that should have been mentioned is , Just The Way You Are by the brilliant Billy Joel 😊
I agree I loved that song
Yep, that song was around at the same time as my first horrible rejection. The non-stop theme of my life Nilsson's song also.
SPECTACULAR!!!!!
Great Music - thank - you !!
For me Always and Forever by Heatwave is my favorite 70’s love song along with the Closer I Get Yo You by Roberta Flack
So many to name ☺️❤️
I can't understand why Close to You by The Carpenter's isn't in this list!!!
I always liked Bob Seeger's "We've Got Tonight", and the Carpenters "We've Only Just Begun"... Also Barbra Streisand's "Evergreen"....They defined the 1970's love songs for me.
@@adamrifkin3249 Gotta have at least ONE Carpenters song on this list!
The BeeGees To Much Heaven is Missing From This List
What about Close To You,We've Only Just Begun or For All We Know by The Carpenters?
@@nickbutler7771 Gotta have at least ONE Carpenters song on this list!
Superstar
I LOVE THE BEE GEES
Crazy how the eldest brother is the longest surviving beegee. How sad for Barry.
Let’s stay together will always be a classic
Wonderful Tonight the is an incredible song. My husband sang it to me while we slow danced one night, So sweet.
I Honestly Love You by Olivia Newton-John
Yes awesome love all of those songs, some of them I was only 4 years old❤
Meat Loaf’s Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad
Dr Hook’s Sharing the Night Together
England Dan & John Ford Coley’s Love is the Answer
Manhattan’s Shining Star (technically 1980, but it’s still a damn good song)
Player’s Baby Come Back
"Love Is Like Oxygen" by The Sweet is a brilliant love song.
Oh the bee gees wow what voices
Classics! 💙
My favorite 70s love song is Color My World by Chicago.
Minnie Riperton Lovin You,, all that talent at once and then BAM it was gone. TG for RUclips ..
❤ Cher play some of her early music
HOW MUCH I FEEL
@@darrylmcdonald379Yes , Ambrosia 👍
That song breaks my heart to this day!
There’s so many good ones…what about “You light up my life”
oh yes
Best of My Love by the Eagles
Chevy Van
Dance With Me
Poetry Man
Joy to the world
FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE...OH MY GOD...I STILL LOVE THAT SONG❤
Annie's Song by John Denver
Debbie Boone's song is the one that comes to mind - U Light Up My Life. The song I still listen to is Afternoon Delight.
"close to you" was a much bigger hit than most of these
dan hills somtimes when we touch/lionel richie and diana ross endless love and the comadores 3 times a lady have to in there
"Endless Love" was released in 1981.
My Love and Precious and
Few. Should of been on this list, with You Are Everything, by The Stylelistics
Gotta have MY LOVE by Paul McCartney!
I JUST WANNA STOP
There is nothing sexier than Marvin Gaye singing Let's Get It On.
I must agree with you!
Carole King, Linda Ronstadt,Gloria Gaynor,Cher...
For all we know. The Carpenters
Great music!
Too Much Heaven Bee Gees
SHES GONE
FABULOUS!!!!
Well. I got about 30 that could easily tie for #1. A few here.
Lowdown Boz Scaggs. The best.
Love to love you!!!!! Gotta include Donna Summer
That's not a love song.... that is just pure sexy.
without you is the best
Captain and Tennille’s the Way I want touch you should be an is the number one love song in the 70s
Those are all really good songs. I'd probably have a different list with a lot
of the same artists.
I was so hoping you would play Roberta Flack. You cam through.
My favorite if memory? Roses are red by New Crystal Minstrals 🎉 ?
I gave you a like because you did include some beautiful songs. But me, I'm an early 1960's Baby. Some songs that were more romantic include "Stoned In Love With you" by the Stylistics'; "My Eyes Adored You" by Frankie Valli; "I Like Dreamin'" by Kenny Nolan. Those are just to name a few.
Gilbert OSullivan owns this thread.
The Commodores Three Times A Lady or Heatwave Always And Forever
Yes those were great songs. In addition to those great songs I always thought that Paul Davis' "I go crazy" what's a very romantic song
MAYBE WE CAN TRY AGAIN
"Without You" should be number ONE!!! I cry when i hear that shit.
Let's Get It On -
9 You make me feel brand new -
8 Tonight -

Good list. WONDERFUL TONIGHT should be # 1.
The Bread and Marvin Gaye tunes are LUST songs... not love songs.
WITHOUT YOU and I'M NOT IN LOVE are too ambiguous.
Missing:
MY LOVE - Paul McCartney
FOR ALL WE KNOW - The Carpenters
EVERGREEN - Barbara Streisand
THREE TIMES A LADY - The Commodores

Good Video. Speaking of Elvis, I think, that, even though it's an upbeat song, Burning Love is A Great Love Song, technically.
Amen love elvis
@@scottygibson3796 Thank You for your comment. He was great. Is your favorite song Burning Love?
Most of these not "Love" Songs as much as they are "Love Making" songs ;-)
THE LOVE I LOST
Elton John is great in any decade!!!
You are on the button bro
Wonderful to hear again. Don't cut the songs up so much. Make the videos longer please.
Reunited?
I don't think you can narrow it down to just ten songs. You've got the Carpenters, Olivia Newton-John, Commodores, Rod Stewart, Leo Sayer, Frankie Vali, Lobo, Donna Summer, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Rita Coolidge, Paul Davis, Ambrosia, Jim Croce...etc.
The 70s was jam packed with love songs. And the best thing about them was they were singing to the woman or the man. It wasn't about them, the songs were messages to them.
The 70s and 80s it was great until RAP!!!
No kidding!! I dispise Rap
Agree
Don't blame rap
It's not my thing!🌈@@williamhouston6715
How is no 4 not no 1? How? And as for the King of Rock 'n Roll!
I honestly love you - Olivia newton john❤
I love all these quirky old songs ,that’s part of what made the 70s great 😃
side-note, I liked America’s version of muskrat love better than Captain and Tennille’s version 🙂
Anne Murray “You Needed Me” my fave
