Ok, I've heard this song before, the artist wasn't very familiar though.

Billy Swan was a country/rockabilly artist with just one hit. This was it.

I can tell you that David Essex had a hit in the US with "Rock On", but Billy Swan is new on me too. Lemme see what I can dig up.

Thanks! I think I'll go have a listen to these songs--while the 70s had great music/groups, some of that stuff...yikes!

Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water. Both countries. Great song! They were a great duo.

12/24/78 "Le Freak" - Chic

Never heard of it, but it can't be as cool as "I Feel Fine" or "House of the Rising Sun."

You've really never heard of it? It's a VERY popular disco tune, even to this day you can hear it in gay establishments that harken back to the days of Truman Capote chasing young, buff pieces of ass in Studio 54.

Oh darn!  What would the boys at The Blue Moon think of me now?

"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" - The Bee Gees

Ugh. I don't even mind their disco stuff, but this song blows!

[Dunrobin]

For the US charts, I got Rock Around The Clock by Bill Hayley & His Comets.  I guess I could do worse.  (A lot of you did!)   

For the UK, I got Dreamboat by Alma Cogan, but I can't comment on it since I've never heard it.  (The question is, would I want to?

"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" - The Bee Gees

Ugh. I don't even mind their disco stuff, but this song blows!

Actually, I thought the Bee Gees were pretty darn good when they first started charting. Some songs that come to mind are, "New York Mining Disaster", Massachusetts", "I've Gotta Get a Message To You", and "Lonely Days". It was later in their career's they lost me. (I didn't like disco)

I can live with that.  It is so strange seeing the songs from when I was in high school being the 'born on date' for the young-ins on this board! Ugh....getting old sucks!

Oh, that Simply Red song....YUK! They used to show that friggin' video on MTV at least once an hour when it came out!

That don't suck nearly as bad as having to use my 18th Birthday because Rock & Roll hadn't been invented yet on the day I was born. Hell, I probably have shoes in the back of my closet I was wearing when the "The Long And Winding Road " came out.

LOL! Yeah, that sucks.

I was not knocking you more vintage guys......I just meant that I seem to be noticing more stuff like kids that were born when I was in high school are 21 now.

Yeah, but did you ever get the see the Boys live??

Mine for 10/13/73 is "Half-Breed" by Cher.  Dang it!  I never liked that song.

LOL!  That means that I was probably drinking in a bar in Frankfort, Germany, and listening to Don Maclean's American Pie, when you were being born.  (What really depresses me, though, is realizing that was almost 33 years ago!)
