Classic 70's Love Songs

May 5th 2009 03:52

Had the chance to catch up with Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock from the 70's supergroup Air Supply not too long ago and was keen to hear what they had to say about not only their humble beginnings but also the stories behind such hits as Love and Other Bruises and Lost In Love.

While that particular story is a post for another time - it got me thinking about classic 70's love songs.

From soppy I’d Really Love To See You Tonight by England Dan And John Ford Coley through to steamy Rod Stewart and First Cut is the Deepest - there were a multitude of chart toppers which had us pining, yearning or longing for someone - either real or surreal at one time or another.

So whether it was Meatloaf or Styx, David Gates or KISS - did you have a favourite?

i saw the guys from Air Supply on tv not that long ago, i dont think im familiar with any over their songs

Sheryl Crow also did an excellent version of "The First Cut Is The Deepest"

how about Bad Company with "Feel Like Makin' Love" . . . maybe its not that romantic, but its about lovers

Check out the Vid - it may prompt the recesses of your mind - if - a) you're as ancient as me b) you occassionally listen to 'classic' rock stations.

Cheers

You are too kind.

I can sense a Warren Zevon number coming up.

Or perhaps some Bad Company.

Hi MNG,

I much prefer cat Stevens version of The First Cut is the deepest but here are a few off the top of my head:

Cream's Layla
Marvin Gaye Let's Get It On
Walter Egan Magnet and Steel
Al Green let's Stay Together
Barry White It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me
Elton john Your Song
jackson 5 I'lll be There
Steve Miller band take The Money and Run
James Taylor Fire and Rain
Simon and garfunkel Cecilia

tons I'm missing but the mind is drawing a blank on many golden oldies

Heaven forbid!!! It was one of those deals where I bought tickets for someone who was out of town and then, at the last minute, someone in the party canceled so I ended up going! Unfortunately, they were GREAT seats. I forget exactly where I was but it was in the first 10 rows--as opposed to nose-bleed heaven when I saw the Rolling Stones. But, at least I can say I saw them!
