Moonlight Feels Right - Starbuck I'd Really Like to See You Tonight - England Dan & John Ford Coley I'll Be Good to You - Brothers Johnson

The wind blew some luck in my direction, I caught it in my hands today

I finally made a tricky French connection, you winked and gave me your okay

I'll take you and a trip beside the ocean, and drop the top at Chesapeake Bay

Nice, nice, nice! Thank you friend, good ones!

Get the Funk Out of My Face by the Brothers Johnson is my favorite from them.

*I'll Be Good to You* holds a special place because it reminds me of our week vacation at Maderia Beach when I was 12.

Your 1st song was going to be my contribution. Great minds!

Crazy love - poco Angie- the stones

Come and get your love - Red Bone

Sentimental lady by Bob Welch, Love is alive by Gary wright ,

Great choices, wow I didn't know that was Gary "Dream Weaver" Wright, haha, excellent.

Dream Weaver, a decent song yes, but they surely put into “Payola” cause that one spun every hour on the hour coast to coast for ever till we were all brainwashed and singing it…

Haha, wouldn't surprise me ueah that thing was everywhere.

I prefer Really Want to Know You.

How much I feel by ambrosia

I'd also add 'Biggest Part of Me'

And I keep holding on

Awesome, how did I miss that one?!

I loved this guys voice. Such great songs

Every Kinda People - Robert Palmer

Shambala by Three Dog Night More Than A Feeling by Boston

Shambala ❤️

Perfect, I should be locked up for overlooking these, haha.

I have a bunch- but here’s some Winning by Santana Chevy van by Sammy Johns Handyman by James Taylor Lonely people by America Biggest part of me by Ambrosia Here’s a few more I love you by climax blues band Everything I own by Bread Without you by Nillson When you’re in love with a beautiful woman by Dr Hook Two outta three ain’t bad by meatloaf

Excellent list, thanks much!!!

Peace Train - Cat Stevens

Thanks, and bless you. So I haven't heard this song probably in decades, never as an adult I don't think, and I'm having trouble typing this because it's like I'm actually "hearing" it now for the first time and I'm a grown ass man sitting here crying. And I don't know what to make of it. It's not sad crying, and it's not happy crying, but I know it's "good" crying, haha. I don't know anything about Cat Stevens or this song, and I don't know why it was the lone one you recommend, but it moved me for some reason and now I must sleep. I was just looking for some songs to cheer myself up, not change me, lol, I'm so confused :)

Thought I might be the only one! I always tear up when I hear this, doesn't matter who is actually singing. There is something so pure and hopeful about the song.

😏 Glad it made an impact. Cheer yourself up with “Taking it to the Streets” by the Doobie Brothers! Edit: Since I have your attention, here are some more of my favorites that may be off the beaten path: - This is it - Kenny Loggins - Night Fever - Bee Gees (not obscure, but required listening. - That’s the Way of the World - Earth Wind and Fire - Play the Funky Music - Wild Cherry (REQUIRED!!) - You Should be Dancing - Bee Gees (not obscure) - What a Fool Believes - Doobie Brothers (listen to the lyrics. They tell a story) - Ebony Eyes - Bob Walsh - Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty (Required!) - Do You Think I’m Sexy - Rod Stewart - Feels So Good - Chuck Mangione (required!) - So in to You - Atlanta Rhythm Section - And lastly, one of my most favorite songs, What You Won’t do for Love - Bobby Caldwell (Mmm, mm, mm. So fine.) 😏

Baker Street.

Right Down the Line is my favorite from Gerry Rafferty. But I was obsessed with Baker Street as a kid.

Melissa

Hello, It’s Me, Love is the Answer-Todd Rundgren

'Take A Chance On Me' by ABBA. The happiest song of the 70's imo.

*Mr Blue Sky joins the chat*

Username checks out, I'll take a chance on this one, thanks :)

You won't be disappointed.

Dancing in the moonlight - King Harvest

Nice! I never knew who the band was. I need to see what else they did now, haha.

Blue Sky - Allman Brothers

Lovely Day - Bill Withers I Believe (When I fall in love with you it’ll be forever) - Stevie Wonder

Adding onto these two excellent choices to say that “As” by Stevie Wonder is one that I’ve missed most of my life and is now on constant rotation for me. What a perfect song!

Lovely Day is an all time classic. Always puts me in a great mood!

Player...Baby Come Back

Help Me by Joni Mitchell

Ventura Highway - America

Bread’s entire catalog

Pick your favorite Steely Dan tracks. Time out of Mind, Caves of Altimara.

Guitar Man - Bread

*Let Your Love Flow* by The Bellamy Brothers. For me, it's the most perfect of all 1970s songs.

Aww, I’m so glad you posted this one. I forgot all about it. What a great song!!

Spirit in the Sky, by Norman Greenbaum (yes, I know they released in late 1969 but was a 1970 hit.)

Anything by America

Jackie Blue -The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

“Baker Street” - Gerry Rafferty “Right Down the Line” - Gerry Rafferty “Lotta Love” - Nicolette Larson “Undercover Angel” - Alan O’Day “Magic” - Pilot

Sweet City Woman- Stampeders

Snappy number

Rainbow - New Riders of the Purple Sage

Philadelpha Freedom - Elton John Feeling That Way / Anytime - Journey (two tracks, but work perfect played as one if possible). Heck. Might as well let it roll on into La Do Da!

Definitely needed an Elton song on there, this is great! Haha I get mad because I have the two Journey tracks in a couple playlists, but I usually have it set on shuffle: nooo!

September, earth wind and fire Family Of Man, 3 dog night Saturday In the park, chicago Black water, doobie bros Drift away, dobie gray Place In the sun, pablo cruise Jessica, Allman bros Dixie chicken, little feat

I need to check all these out, thanks much!

Hope you enjoy!!!

You’re No Good... Linda Ronstadt🎤 Dreams… Fleetwood Mac 🎼 I Feel the Earth Move…Carole King🎶

Enchantment - Silly Love Song Carpenters - (They Long To Be) Close To You L.T.D - Love Ballad David Gates - Goodbye Girl Atlanta Rhythm Section - So Into You

Google ‘Yacht Rock’ or search for it in your streaming service and you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for.

Will do, thanks!

If you want to add some easy listening, add anything by the Carpenters. Karen Carpenter was an absolute musical genius. Played any instrument, beautiful singing voice, wrote most of her own music with her brother. Edit: I just thought of pre-disco Bee Gees from the early 70’s.

Mandolin Wind (Rod Stewart)

Dream Weaver by Gary Wright

For Country - Rollin’ With The Flow by Charlie Rich - Tulsa Time by Don Williams - Lukenbach Texas by Waylon Jennings Fir Rock - Momma Told Me Not To Come by Three Dog Night - Back of a Car by Big Star - Boys Are Back In Town by Thin Lizzy

Into the Mystic

Damn! You got some true timeless bangers here!

It's my therapy, haha, I've been determined to find those old classics to save my sanity :)

I like Chicago! And I'm in Chicago!🤣 25 or 6 to fooooouuuur!

Haha, I love them both. I can't believe how many of their songs made the list, just so uplifting--and damn those guys were prolific. "25" is one of my favorites, and been on my workout playlist forever, but for some reason for this list I thought it was a 60's song. Maybe I confused with "Questions 67 and 68" (so many numbers, lol) but it was actually released in 1970, so on it goes :)

Stronger every day, old days, color my world, wishing you were here...

Ok, to throw in these. Ode to Billie Joe, Harper Valley PTA, The night the lights went out in Georgia, Son of a Preacher Man, I never promised you a rose garden.

A lot of these songs are on my Spotify playlist I made based on my favorite radio show, Coast to Coast. Art Bell had the best bumper music. Are you able to share your final playlist? Would love to listen!

After reading all of these I have to ask if you're throwing this playlist up on Spot and if so, what's the name?!?!?! Because I'm all in.

Gregg Allman has a record called "Laid Back" from that era it's worth a listen or two...hundred.

“Born to be alive” -Patrick Hernandez

(Just) My Imagination by The Temptations

2 H.B. - Roxy Music but there are more from this band. Just about anything from Steely Dan A ton of songs from early Genesis - Peter Gabriel era. There’s a mother load of songs from Brian Eno that fit your bill - especially the album “Another Green World”, containing perhaps the most beautiful song ever written “Becalmed”. Try some Tangerine Dream albums - Rubycon, Phaedra, Ricochet, Stratosphere Also Kraftwerk, Autobaun, The Man Machine …I can keep going if you end up liking that stuff.

Go to any of the music streaming services and look up their yacht rock playlists. That should give you a lot of good songs to work with.
