7 of the 70s: 11/29/12...

Hey gang, it's time for this week's trip back to the 70s, and this time out it's back to 1978, the year skin-mag mogul Larry Flynt was shot and paralyzed in Georgia.

Nick Gilder - "Hot Child In The City"
from the album City Nights (1978)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #1

I don't think there was any single person in my generation who initially thought this was a guy singing. Even after watching this I'm doubtful. Fun fact: Nick co-wrote Scandal's "The Warrior"...

Pablo Cruise - "Love Will Find A Way"
from the album Worlds Away (1978)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #6

You're wondering what to get me for Christmas? Simple. A Pablo Cruise t-shirt. Nothing else. X-Large.


Player - "This Time I'm In It For Love"
from the album Player (1977)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #10

The "Baby Come Back" boys come back with this mellow-gold nugget.


The Eagles - "Please Come Home For Christmas"
from the album The Very Best of Eagles (2003)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #18

The biggest band of the 70s with their holiday classic remake of the Charles Brown number.


Bill Withers - "Lovely Day"
from the album Menagarie (1977)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #30

The soundtrack to every best day ever, this nugget beckons back to warmer weather.


Bob Welch - "Hot Love, Cold World"
from the album French Kiss (1977)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #31

I wish Bob would still be here to see the end of this year. Sadly the pioneering Fleetwood Mac member would kill himself after horrible health issues.


Switch - "There'll Never Be"
from the album Switch (1978)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #36

This group contains two olders brothers of today's Song of the Day group, DeBarge.

That's it for this moment in time...I'll return later with 8 more from 1988. See you then!
