Popular Songs- 1st and 2nd Seasons)
Hey everyone.
I was just messing around one day and I was checking out the Bewitched Harpies Bizarre website and I noticed a section on the music of the era. On it, it had the big hits that came out when the episodes premiered. An example of this section is that this link: http://www.harpiesbizarre.com/BWmusichits.htm So, I was thinking "I wonder what songs hit big during the Good Times era (1974-1979)?"
