KTEL! I miss those commercials!:wave:

Hi, Penny,

I got your PM. I hope you got my reply.

As to great songs of 1974, didn’t The Eagles release a lot of great songs in 1974?

My brother saw CSN&Y on the night Richard Nixon resigned as POTUS in 1974 and in reaction, David Crosby sang, “Longtime Coming.”

Yes, I just now read your message. I'll look up Combat on YouTube. :wave:

Billboard Top 100, 1974

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1974

I made favorite hit songs threads for all of the 1970's years, 1970 to 79, I just updated all of them and added a few songs that were not on the lists previously. The total number of songs is now 455 and I will probably stop there.

Oh Very Young - Cat Stevens

Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me - Elton John

Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks

Please Come to Boston - Dave Loggins

Sunshine on My Shoulders - John Denver

Sundown - Gordon Lightfoot

Some interesting trivia about the Guess Who's 1974 hit Star Baby, it spent 19 weeks on the Billboard chart which is the most weeks of any Guess Who hit, but it stalled at the #39 spot which is very strange for a song that spent 19 weeks on the chart.

Star Baby was a top 10 hit in Chicago, reaching the #3 spot on the WLS chart. The Streak by Ray Stevens and The Loco-motion by Grand Funk prevented Star Baby from the #1 spot on WLS.

Star Baby also reached the #3 spot on Chicago's WCFL chart. Midnight At The Oasis by Maria Muldaur and Band On The Run by Paul McCartney & Wings prevented Star Baby from the #1 spot on WCFL.

KTEL! I miss those commercials!:wave:

Ya Penny I mi$$ alot of things from the good days :(

Billy, Don’t Be A Hero :guitar: :rock: :drummer: :singer:

Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods had three top 40 hits in 1974, "Who Do You Think You Are", which is a good tune and I like that one, but the other two, "Billy Don't Be A Hero" and "The Heartbreak Kid" are not to my liking.

Of all the songs written about a guy named Billy who is told not to be a hero, but tries to be a hero, but then dies because of the hero attempt, this one’s the best.

Plus, Bo Donaldson had great taste in dates :wave:

273704

I just never got into that song "Billy Don't Be A Hero", it is too corny for my taste.

I recall that Bo Donaldson and Valerie Bertinelli dated for a time and that is interesting. She seems to have had a thing for the rock n roll guys.

Carefree Highway - Gordon Lightfoot
