My favorites were Disco Rock, Bad, Superbad, and Girls Girls Girls. Back in the day, you couldn't have a party without one of these Albums in your collection. Hard to believe that these guys almost went bankrupt but came back. I think that in it's own way, it would be the prototype for Time-Life Music Informercials seen late at night.
I like how the voiceover guy says "the greatest artists of our time", then they proceed to play songs by such superstars as Michael Murphy, Billy Swan, Andy Kim, and the LEGENDARY Peter McCann
As others have noted, this is chock full of songs that aren't even love songs, but are just mellow. This is like that Southern Rock collection they had a few years ago ("Goin' South"), that had songs by great "Southern Rock" bands like The Band and Pat Travers (from Canada), and even more weird was their inclusion of "Radar Love" by Golden Earring, who were neither from the Southern USA nor North American, for that matter. (They were from HOLLAND.)
They say the songs are from the original stars but Carl Carlton's version of "Everlasting Love" was a cover of a song done first by Robert Knight in 1967 (though a British band called The Love Affair would also have a hit in England with the song in '67 or '68). Ironic, ain't it.
Agreed! And Johnny Nash also had a great hit with Hold Me Tight, done in reggae style. There are a few other songs on this that are good, but it's top-heavy with syrup, isn't it?
Wildfire Yuck! I dated a girl who owned a horse around the time this song came out, she was the only person who rode it, but she had me try. After getting in the saddle, the horse didn't move, so I gave it a kick with my heels..big mistake!! The horse took off like a bullet, rearing up, bucking like a bronco, and trying to bite me, but it never was able to knock me off. I remembered reading that biting an untamed horse's ear would calm it down, and after a few tries, it worked and I got off it
Actually, according to an interview I read on Henry Gross, "Shannon" is about a dog dying. Have to agree with you about some of these not being love songs though.
It was a hit on the radio much like Celine Dion's "My Heart Goes On" from another disaster movie "Titanic". Where the song comes from is irrelevant as long as is a great.
@nickatdusk Michael Murphey became a country music star in the early '80s and had a long string of hits. The sarcasm toward those other names you gave was understandable, though.

I just made me an Apple Music playlist of all the songs in this commercial , who says you can’t go back?
Wow! I used to love ALL of these songs back in the day! Oh, the memories....

70s love songs with LP Follow by cassette and 8-track tape during commercial break on superstation wtbs from 1983 Atlanta Braves game
"Wildfire" was performed by Michael Martin Murphey in 1975. It's a timeless country classic!
The woman singing "The Morning After" was Maureen McGovern, who was also the woman who sang the song in that PSA "VD Is For Everybody".

Was this commercial from the late 70's or early 80's.
1982
@@elijahmoses5675 nah, it was 1901. 😁
what ever happened to music??
Some of these are hardly "love" songs. "Shannon" by Henry Gross is about a little girl who falls off a boat and drowns. Not very romantic.
70's and 80's lowest points of music that ever existed
Well, there's also today's music, and really anything after 1990.
