Long live the 70s!

[Katy Lied]

[Babs]

Don McLean, Paul Simon, Three Dog Night, Jim Croce AND Lionel Richie?

Indeed. Thanks for noticing.
But since he didn't make your list, I feel obligated to plug Bill Withers:

You keep using the good songs until you use them up.

I was trying to make a crack abotu lyrics.

Cheat away, I enjoy this thread. For many of you it is just a list, for me (and a couple of others, I dare say) it is the soundtrack to our youth. Good memories for most fo these songs.
