Music Monday -- Songbird Salutes the Seventies

-

 Today's theme:


As it’s Roctober – Choose a decade and build a playlist of rock songs from that period.


How about I narrow it down to 1975?  Let's dance. 


The "Soul Train" dancers dancing to "Get Dancin'" by Disco-Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes (can you believe the name of that group?)















And the best dance tune of the year?

    Robin,

    The 70s rocked! "The Hustle" and "Dance With Me" are great songs that I loved! Thanks for taking me back to a fun time. :) Thanks for joining the 4M gang on the dance floor. Have a boogietastic day, darlin'!

    Funny how your playlist for 1975 is so much different from what mine would be! That's the year I graduated from high school, and I listened to what would have been "easy listening" or "soft rock," I guess. Jackson Browne, Eagles, America...

      Love them all. I’ve done playlists featuring those performers. Actually got to see Jackson Browne about six years ago, on a double bill with John Fogerty.

    These are all songs I like, but didn't pick for my 70's playlist. Maybe it's because I haven't heard any of them for a while. I'm feeling 70's love today, partially thanks to you. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    The only one I thought I didn't know was "Get Dancin'," and I remembered it when I heard it. "Soul Train" started in Chicago as a dance party on our first UHF station, and it got picked up for syndication, which is when Don Cornelius moved to LA. One of the first blog posts I wrote was an obituary for him. Terrible how he died...

    Oh man, those are all so good! Everyone thinks all I listen to is rock and metal but those songs are definitely my type too.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
