7 of the 70s: 12/6/12...

Welcome back to this week's "7 of the 70s" with seven more nuggets from 1979, the year Saddam Hussein took power in Iraq.

Peaches & Herb - "Reunited"
from the album 2 Hot (1978)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #1

The title is misleading, since it's a totally different "Peaches" from the act's early days.My dad had this on 8-track, and I kept asking to play it on the car stereo.

Maxine Nightingale - "Lead Me On"
from the album Lead Me On (1979)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #5

British singer coos through this pleading to be taken advantage of....


Nicolette Larson - "Lotta Love"
from the album Nicolette (1978)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #8

The late singer used a little bit of love to get this Neil Young song for herself to record. He gave her permission while they were driving in his car.


Eddie Rabbitt - "Suspicions"
from the album Loveline (1979)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #13

The bearded hunk from New Jersey has a easy-country-rock gem with this slow-dance nugget.


GQ - "I Do Love You"
from the album Disco Nights (1979)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #20

Bronx disco group slows it down for this throwback love song hearkening back to the doowop era...


Rose Royce - "Love Don't Live Here Anymore"
from the album Rose Royce III: Strikes Again! (1978)

Before Madonna brought you this song, the group who took you to the "Car Wash" had the definitive version of this heartbreaker.


The Jones Girls - "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else"
from the album The Jones Girls (1979)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #38

 Detroit sister who backed up the greatest stretch out on their own with this midtempo classic club song....

That does it for this flashback....thanks for stopping by, and I'll be back later with 8 more from 1989. Peace!
