Would you give a little more detail on Le Freak being #1 3 times. By the same group?...well you did list it as Chic so I doubt it was that. Different years? Like it left the charts then came back (like Chubby Checker's The Twist) or just hit #1, drop a position and then re-peak at #1 again? Maybe different Genre lists like the disco list as well as pop list? I only remember it as a 1 time smash in late '78/early '79. Tell me what you're talking about.
Every single one of these was well-known. "Forgotten"? What a joke. They didn't even try. The Googled "70's oldies" and picked the first 10 songs that came up.

Does anyone here remember a tv show called The Midnight Special"? It debuted in 1972, and ran from 1-2:30 am on Friday nights. Wolfman Jack was the MC, each show featured a half dozen LIVE mainstream bands, playing at 2 am. It was the first late night broadcast show to air after 1 am on a regular basis. Ever. It was years before SNL, even more before MTV or VHS recorders...

At the tender age of 69 I've gone through the 50s, the 60s, the 70s and then some. At one time I had a 3 piece denim suit with 16" bell bottoms and 3" "stacks" on my feet. Doo Wop to disco to new wave it's all been great. I've done a ton of country as well. Love it all and that's why I have XM radio in my garage because I'm still building bikes and listening to the best sh*t ever to hit the air waves. Thanks for the memories DYR!

I got to see Loggins and Messina's last show at the Hollywood Sportatoium in South Florida, with some guy named Jimmy Buffet opening in about 74. Everyone was saying Jimmy who🤔🤣🤣
That was definitely Kenny Rogers I am a fan of both and have seen both from less than 20 ft away. If you don't know what they look like they look similar with the hair. I saw McDonald singing with Steely Dan. I don't know if he is on any of their albums. I never had close seats for the Doobies.
Redbone was one of the most talented bands of the 70s, unequaled today. Come and Get Your Love is constantly pilfered in movies. They belong in the Rv&R Hall of Fame if they are not yet there.
As a child of both the 60's and 70's, this music not only is remisminent of a day gone by. It also was a time where pure heart crossed just enough funds for the heart to be broadcasted to public everywhere. God bless all that experienced this time.
@@larryronkq586 Right! Even in the US, It qualfies as a '70s song. Hitting number 1 in a particular year is not the thing. Many songs are big hits, WITHOUT being #1 Many songs never hit #1, but got lots or airplay. Both records are 70s.
Songs of my youth. While the 80’s brought us innovation, the 70’s had heart & soul. What I love & miss most about 70’s is anyone could be a singer/song writer. The songs you mentioned are never forgotten because I have them all on my iPod. ✌🏻💖🎶

How about these, kid?...."Don't You Know" by Butterscotch in 1970, "I Ain't Got Time Anymore" by The Glass Bottle in 1971, "1900, Yesterday", "Wham, Bam, Shang-a-Lang" by Silver in 1976, "Sauvacito" by Malo in 1972, "Softly, Whispering I Love You", "Life and Breath", which was Climax's followup to their hit "Precious and Few"...I could go on, but YOU get the picture...
I’m 22 and even before I fell in love with 70s music, I’d heard every one of these a million times. I’m sure people who actually lived through the 70s haven’t forgotten these. The title doesn’t lie though - these songs are, in fact, awesome.
Lola is not a “blatantly gay rock ballad” it’s about how a guy was tricked by a person whom he thought was a woman. That doesn’t make the song “gay” and I hear this song in the radio all the time so idk why it’s really on this list.
The guy is also wrong in saying that the gender is revealed at the end. Lola's gender is never revealed, the lyrics are ambiguous and pretty clever. The narrations on these lists are usually nonsense.

The most forgotten superstar of the 70s has to be Linda Ronstadt. I mean she was the best selling female artist of the decade, was on the cover of Rolling Stone four times and had a boat load of hit singles and several number one albums and yet she is not played on radio anymore. You would think that You’re no Good and Blue Bayou would at least be played.
Well... I guess the real best-selling female artist of the 70s must have been someone international, here in the UK she had neither top 10 singles nor top 10 albums during the 70s.
Since my father was one of the earliest Green Beret, and since I was born on the base where the 101st is home, and since the BALLAD OF THE GREEN BERET was the top song of the year I was born . . . I have to admit I still know most of the songs on Sadler's album by heart. :^)
@@stefanbach7652 I don't know what part of the world you are in, But here in little ol' Pittsburgh,PA there is an almost 100% chance that at least 3 of these tunes will be played on one of 3 regular radio stations in the next HOUR.

Brain Salad Surgery was the name of an album by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, a groundbreaking “high tech” band popular with hard rockers in the early 70’s.

Not one song on this list is forgotten - I guarantee you if I turn on the radio I will hear Lola within 10 minutes, probably followed by What a Fool Believes. And how has Cars been forgotten? This song is on CBSFM every night.
@jasonrathbaum channels like this one, get an idea of something to upload in YT regardless of it's authenticity or not.... then we turn up, give it the thumbs up or down, throw in our pennys worth of comment and... pang, the channel owner has another couple dollars more in his pocket !!! Money for nothing and your beer for free ( or whatever product you are pushing at the time).
"Life on Mars" is such a brilliant song as was David Bowie. And I was born in 1957, so I grew up listening to '60's music AND '70's music. Had to love Bowie and Marc Bolan...
I still listen to Lola, What a Fool Believes, Le Freak, Come and Get You Love, and Right Place/Wrong Time. And as far as hearing any of these today… No one is hearing anything but Hip Hop and Country on the “radio.”
I'm a child of the 70s... I still listen to all of these. So many more I could name. A couple of semi-forgotten (by some) gems from the 70s: 'Moonlight, Feels Right' by Starbuck, 'Miracles' by Jefferson Starship, 'Feel So Good' by Chuck Mangione, 'Bitter With The Sweet' by Carole King, 'Summer Rain' by Johnny Rivers. -- That's just a few.
@@nicoleknight9412 YES! THIS. First band I ever saw live, 1976 aged 15; ma & pa were HUGE fans and their stuff was on all the time. Never better than with David Byron. I met Lee Kerslake in a disco/club one night, aged around 18. He was standing with the hatcheck girl (his g.friend). I could not have been more surprised and neither could he! A disco dollybird coming up and saying "Aren't you Lee Kerslake"? He nearly fell over when I told him they were one of my favourite bands and had seen them! We shook hands nicely, had a laugh at the weirdness of it all and I hit the dance floor. Happy, happy daze.
@@nicoleknight9412 Do you remember, "Paradise/The Spell" and of course "July Morning"??... David Byron was an awesome singer and vocalist!! Uriah Heep's music is timeless!!! G.R.
I grew up in the 70s. Because of my parents and grandparents I listen to music going back as far as glen miller. The future, well my 4 month old grandson, the music lives on.
The Doobie brothers, What A Fool Believes, all time favorite Doobie song's ever and I'm now 60 and I still like cutting a rug too this great song. Love ❤️ it
I loved that song! Wore that 45 out playing it (driving my older sister up the wall was an added bonus, as well as payback for that Muskrat Love crap!)
You cant speak these song or the music of forgotten. I am sure many people around the world still listen to much of the music from the 60s-70s that they grew up with. I know i do. For the simple reason I love music and total dislike TV and have done for 2 decades. Nothing but music every day on a Bose system, JVC headphone or the in-car usb . You just cannot beat music if you have the ears for it. My personal view is music lives on.
Man... I was 16 in 1987, the first time I stumbled across Life on Mars and it has SINCE lived on every mixtape or playlist I’ve ever created... to say that Life on Mars is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS is putting it mildly... I cried like a baby when David Bowie passed and CHEERED LOUDLY when they said that it was playing in the car that was shot into space... if you’ve never heard the song, go listen right now, you’ll thank me... GO!! NOW!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
Lola is a song I’ll never forget. The girl across the hall in my dorm played that song over over everyday for 1 year. Let just say I never want to hear that song ever again.
Literally their "signature song", along the lines of "Stairway to Heaven", or "Freebird", or "Satisfaction", or "Smoke on the Water"...etc. Okay, maybe some "Kinks-O-Philes" can make an argument for "You Really Got Me".
I guess I’m stuck in the 70’s because I have most of these songs on my play list and hear them all the time. I hear then on the radio too so I’m not sure you got this right. 😊
Love both of those. I still play them frequently when I have an oldies listening night, along with songs by America, Three Dog Night, Doobies, Steely Dan, and many others.
My very large record collection from when I was a kid was destroyed in a flood some years ago. My R Dean Taylor was one of them. I can't really remember the song but it has nice vocals and guitar work. Another old favorite is Rita Coolidge's "Whiskey, Whiskey".
The first dance song at my cousin’s wedding was Redbone’s “Come And Get You Love” ☺️… in our Puerto Rican and our new Dutch cousin-in-law’s families, this awesome song is definitely not forgotten 😁.
I would have had a better chance of remembering the songs if more than 2 seconds of most of them had been played!!! At least 3 of them are never to be forgotten others just too specialist.

@@gloriagonzalez6838 Oh Pennsylvania.. I have a colleague who lives there with his family.. yeah I’m much safe over here..
@@gloriagonzalez6838 I’m from San Jose California.. but I’m presently working on a drilling contract here in Gulf of Mexico United state working 400 nautical miles in the ocean.. I’m an independent contractor and you?
He’s awful 🤮
Speaking as a disco dinosaur . These songs will never be forgotten . Many happy hours playing this music and teaching my kids to dance .
Lola, Le Freak and Cars get lots of airplay even nowadays. They're very far from forgotten
What A Fool Believes is one of my all-time favorite songs! 👏🏻🎶❤️
Hello there how are you doing today
Damn, I wanted to hear some tunes, not blather from some wannabe DJ. 😁
then why did you watch his pod cast and leave a comment... just to be an irritant?
@@larryscantland7192 why not?
@@larryscantland7192 It would be nice to hear more than 4 seconds of the song.
Not one song on this list is forgotten - I guarantee you if I turn on the radio I will hear Lola within 10 minutes, probably followed by What a Fool Believes. And how has Cars been forgotten? This song is on CBSFM every night.
What a fool believes is played on K-Hits every day here in Sacramento!
@jasonrathbaum channels like this one, get an idea of something to upload in YT regardless of it's authenticity or not.... then we turn up, give it the thumbs up or down, throw in our pennys worth of comment and... pang, the channel owner has another couple dollars more in his pocket !!!
Money for nothing and your beer for free ( or whatever product you are pushing at the time).
You could turn on any Classic Rock Radio station sure you'll hear Lola
Dr. John is one of the forgotten heroes of that era. Truly a legend amongst the others viewed in this video
Gras Gras Gris Gris.
Ok? I was born in the 90s and I know all the words to Lola and life on Mars , so I don’t think they are forgotten.
"Life on Mars" is such a brilliant song as was David Bowie. And I was born in 1957, so I grew up listening to '60's music AND '70's music. Had to love Bowie and Marc Bolan...
Randy Van Warmer - Just when I needed you most -- A truly beautify song from the end of the 70s. Deserves to be remembered and played often.
Yes...
I love that song ... even in Auckland, New Zealand
Lol, I have redbone on my playlist with many other oldies💛🤟🏽
I still listen to Lola, What a Fool Believes, Le Freak, Come and Get You Love, and Right Place/Wrong Time.
And as far as hearing any of these today… No one is hearing anything but Hip Hop and Country on the “radio.”
Lola has never stopped being huge AND well known. And Life on Mars in the supposed dustbin? Wow. Someone doesn't know his music.
I guess it depends on what area you live in. I've heard Life On Mars maybe twice in the 5 years in my area. Lola probably twice a month,
Really? I guess location is everything!
Life on mars isn't played tons but enough.
I agree that I ALWAYS hear Lola.
@@philipmartin2919 Probably my fav Kinks tune (thanx David Bowie!)
Who is this yoyo talking? Gimme a break. These are relevant songs in my world.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there?
My Sharona...the long version.
Best song ever!
Number one song of 1979.
What A Fool Believes-never forgotten, on every playlist, super famous
Sky High - Jigsaw
Cruel to be Kind - Nick Lowe
Goodbye Girl - David Gates
Good picks. First two not on my very long 70s Spotify playlist. Thanks.
Sky High just makes me so happy. Like Magic by Pilot.
Great songs. I own all three.
@@booksnuggler2494
...& yet, "Sky High" is a song
about bitter resentment
of a relationship gone wrong.
I have all three on various playlists! Some of my favorite songs of all time
How can you forget a song you thought was awesome? It's been my experience that once I've heard a song that was awesome, it stays with me always.
That's the way it is for me.
Well put.
Lack of air play does not equal forgotten, period
I'm a child of the 70s... I still listen to all of these. So many more I could name. A couple of semi-forgotten (by some) gems from the 70s: 'Moonlight, Feels Right' by Starbuck, 'Miracles' by Jefferson Starship, 'Feel So Good' by Chuck Mangione, 'Bitter With The Sweet' by Carole King, 'Summer Rain' by Johnny Rivers. -- That's just a few.
Still play "Feels so good" back to back with Mezzoforte's "Garden Party". Slick cool jazz!
"Summer Rain", written by James Hendricks (no, not him, that was Hendrix) I'd truly a great song.
Summe rRain by Johnny Rivers is not the 1970's though...it was about 1967 toward the end of the year
62 baby here and we had the best of the best
Uriah Heep is the most forgotten band from the 70's.They still play, and are making records.
YESSSSS!Lady in Black, Easy Livin'.....great Band, one of the best in my younger days like Golden Earring, Nazareth and and and
""He was a wizard to a thousand Kings"
"Easy Livin'" is probably their most recognizable song.
@@nicoleknight9412 YES! THIS. First band I ever saw live, 1976 aged 15; ma & pa were HUGE fans and their stuff was on all the time. Never better than with David Byron. I met Lee Kerslake in a disco/club one night, aged around 18. He was standing with the hatcheck girl (his g.friend). I could not have been more surprised and neither could he! A disco dollybird coming up and saying "Aren't you Lee Kerslake"? He nearly fell over when I told him they were one of my favourite bands and had seen them! We shook hands nicely, had a laugh at the weirdness of it all and I hit the dance floor. Happy, happy daze.
@@nicoleknight9412 Do you remember, "Paradise/The Spell" and
of course "July Morning"??... David Byron was an awesome
singer and vocalist!! Uriah Heep's music is timeless!!! G.R.
I rember they were the opening band before KISS, Tingly Coliseum, January 1978, Albuquerque, NM.
Love it or hate it, Debbie Boone's "You Light Up My Life" was a monster hit.
Some other woman had it out first but she won out over her.
@@eddieboggs8306 Yes, I think it was Dee Dee Conn, who later acted in the movie "Grease."
@@randyjordan5521
Ok. I couldn't remember.
Debbie Boon got the hit.
You're right. Hate it.
I got really sick of it in the '70s, but now it kind of holds a little nostalgia special place in my heart type thing.
I grew up in the 70s. Because of my parents and grandparents I listen to music going back as far as glen miller. The future, well my 4 month old grandson, the music lives on.
The Doobie brothers, What A Fool Believes, all time favorite Doobie song's ever and I'm now 60 and I still like cutting a rug too this great song. Love ❤️ it
One group and song that I feel got lost in the cracks of the 70s was The Babys: "Isn't it Time."
I loved that song! Wore that 45 out playing it (driving my older sister up the wall was an added bonus, as well as payback for that Muskrat Love crap!)
John Waite (of Bad English fame and who had that solo hit "Missing You") came from the Babys.
"Every Time I Think of You" is pretty good too.
I had to look that song up but WOW what backup singers!
@@Digglesisdead If you like that one, listen to their other hit "Every Time I Think Of You" ... great harmonies in that one too.
Redbone's HUGE hit in the UK came in 1971; "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" made number 2 ; great song.
Neilson hits rarely get air play, he was a great singer loved by many rock bands and singers.
"Refried confusion is making itself CLEAR " - get it right!
I'm partial to "Baker Street" - Gerry Rafferty and "Thunder Island" - Jay Ferguson
THUNDER ISLAND......YESSSS!!!!!!
Yes, and "Get it right this time."
Thunder Island could def be on this list.
Bring in the mullets!!!!
Summers in Panama City, man.
I can tell you as a black man we still love "What a Fool Believes". Never felt it didn't get love in our community. Same for "Le Freak Chic"
As a white man, born in the 2000's, i can confirm le freak most certainly wasnt "forgotten"
As a purple man, one of my favorites I'll never forget is Disco Duck lol. Not really I hate the stupid song.
These songs are still remembered, alive and beloved.
You cant speak these song or the music of forgotten. I am sure many people around the world still listen to much of the music from the 60s-70s that they grew up with. I know i do. For the simple reason I love music and total dislike TV and have done for 2 decades. Nothing but music every day on a Bose system, JVC headphone or the in-car usb . You just cannot beat music if you have the ears for it. My personal view is music lives on.
Man... I was 16 in 1987, the first time I stumbled across Life on Mars and it has SINCE lived on every mixtape or playlist I’ve ever created... to say that Life on Mars is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS is putting it mildly... I cried like a baby when David Bowie passed and CHEERED LOUDLY when they said that it was playing in the car that was shot into space... if you’ve never heard the song, go listen right now, you’ll thank me...
GO!!
NOW!!
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
That whole car in space thing is a load of BS, but Life On Mars really is a great song.... and that ain't no BS... hehe
One Tin Soldier (Coven)...don’t know when it came out but certainly has been forgotten by radio.
Billy Jack!!
@@johndef5075 The Coven which is lead by Tom Laughlin's daughter. They had to change the name to the Original Caste. for the movie credits.
@@rebelwalzt I had the 45. Plus the song was featured on Sonny and Cher.
That halcyon time of my life, 1974, when Come and Get Your Love was a hit. I was eleven.
Lola is a song I’ll never forget. The girl across the hall in my dorm played that song over over everyday for 1 year. Let just say I never want to hear that song ever again.
"Lola" is the most played Kinks song ever. What the hell is he talking about. Screwed up list.
no kidding, everybody knows the words to lola.
Even parodied by Weird Al, so it'll never be forgotten!
You sound like an Apeman (in a parking lot)
Was on the radio last week .
Literally their "signature song", along the lines of "Stairway to Heaven", or "Freebird", or "Satisfaction", or "Smoke on the Water"...etc. Okay, maybe some "Kinks-O-Philes" can make an argument for "You Really Got Me".
I don't know what you're listening to but I hear all of these regularly
Who on earth has forgotten lola and life on mars both still huge here in the UK
It’s a very American-centric video.
I guess I’m stuck in the 70’s because I have most of these songs on my play list and hear them all the time. I hear then on the radio too so I’m not sure you got this right. 😊
Very restrained and polite
R. Dean Taylor "Indiana Wants Me". On a similar note, missing the 70s by a mere 2 months, by release date anyway, Mark Lindsay's "Arizona"
"Arizona" is very underrated. Even though it isn't comical, it makes fun of the whole "hippie" thing, but in a friendly way.
Love both of those. I still play them frequently when I have an oldies listening night, along with songs by America, Three Dog Night, Doobies, Steely Dan, and many others.
@@Oppeldeldoc1 Mark Lindsay’s “Arizona” is one of the top songs on the “Soundtrack Of My Generation”
My very large record collection from when I was a kid was destroyed in a flood some years ago. My R Dean Taylor was one of them. I can't really remember the song but it has nice vocals and guitar work. Another old favorite is Rita Coolidge's "Whiskey, Whiskey".
The first dance song at my cousin’s wedding was Redbone’s “Come And Get You Love” ☺️… in our Puerto Rican and our new Dutch cousin-in-law’s families, this awesome song is definitely not forgotten 😁.
I hear all these songs on SiriusXM channels 7, classic rewind and Yacht Rock radio.
Lola plays on our classic rock station alot.
You forgot anything by the late great Harry Chapin.
Good call.
I love Cats and the Cradle.
Taxi driver 👍
@@tonygville2969 just Taxi not taxi driver.
@@raoularmagnac2037 best song ever!!!!
"Cars" was in heavy rotation when MTV first aired. Great song.
I would have had a better chance of remembering the songs if more than 2 seconds of most of them had been played!!!
At least 3 of them are never to be forgotten others just too specialist.
More than a feeling by Boston. One of my absolute favourites.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there?
"Hitch a Ride"...one of their BEST!
An enduring classic.
So annoying that this guy talks through the whole thing!!🙄
A HORSE BY AMERICA WITH NO NAME BY AMERICA ,, IT NEVER RAINS IN CALIFORNIA , Huge 70s hits
A horse with no name sorry by America
Come and get your love

@@flowerfaeri That song always makes me cry.
This guy needs to listen to different radio stations. I hear many of these songs quite frequently.
I remember Lola was on the radio everyday. . These all bring back different memories. Love it.
No Matter What , Baby Blue and Come And Get it by Badfinger one of the saddest stories of manager corruption out there.
this. badfinger was a great band.
@@philsaggitariusa3738 absolutely
Without you, that Nilsson covered
So sad that 2 members felt their only option was suicide.
Wildwood Weed, Chick-a-Boom, Timothy, Guitarzan all songs I remember.

@@boikatsapiens499 "He says he flew up there. I had to fly up and bring him down, he was about half crazy"
@CrazyCat Lady Interesting genesis.
Duh "Come and Get Your Love" is the theme song of "F Is For Family" on Netflix.
I can honestly say that I don't miss most of these at all.
Barry Sadler is my Uncle. And I always sing Ballad of the Green Berets!
