70s Schlock (Guilty Pleasures)

[Dave78]

Beach Baby, Hitchin' A Ride, Brandy, Ride Captain Ride and Summer Breze were all favorites of mine growing up in the early 70's.

I don't consider them schlock at all. And certainly not Bob Welch's Ebony Eyes either. His first solo album in '77 was awesome!

I have looked for that album but can only find a few songs Dave78...I liked "French Kiss".

Bucky is there any video of that Awesome performance at the Karaoke Bar??

 

[Foxhound]

Here's another one I bought on 45 rpm single,,,Fox is going crucify me for this pick...

Giggle! Speaking of fathers, I think mine actually liked that tune! After hearing it on the radio quite a few times, he asked me why the band was making the abominable request "I Want Chicago Die", meaning it must have actually intruded upon his consciousness.

LG, I wish there was video!! Somewhere around this house is a cassette of it. I also brought the house down with "Minnie the Moocher" by Cab Calloway that night. I had a riot

 

[Groovy Man]

Lots of good ones so far!

Bay City Rollers!

Nice one Metal Priest!

OK, This one's a good one...

I always liked the lyrics to this song...

''Spiders & Snakes'' by Jim Stafford

My Mom Loved that song Groovy Man...she was a big Stafford fan.

Foxhound that was funny, my Dad never cared what I listened to, the only exception was when my older brother brought "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" home and he happened to see the cover...boy that was one for the family history books.

As it turns out he never did become a Satanist, and Sabbath was just a really good heavy metal band.

I always liked Jim Stafford. I used to laugh at his eyes when he'd sing that was when he'd be on variety & talk shows. I think he was on an episode of Hee Haw also

 

[R. Evans]

The Ultimate Guilty Pleasure!

The Late, Great Barry White!
