(Finished February 7th, 2021) Part 1 of The Best of 70's Love Songs, Part 1: Songs 1-17

Hello,

On this Super Bowl Sunday, Go Bucs!! Congratulations to the Super Bowl Champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers!!

Each decade has all kinds of amazing music, the 70's is no different. But it had so many different kinds of music. It had the end of the psychedelic and hippy rock, also pretty much the entire history of Disco music started, peaked and fizzled. Then of course there was a bunch of great funk, soul, r & b, country, pop and all kinds of rock. It's the decade were both Led Zeppelin and Donna Summer had their peaks. It was a very weird, yet amazing, decade for music. Anyway this blog is starting cataloging the greatest love songs of the 70s. 

When most people think of a love song, they think of a ballad. But there are all kind of love songs. Of course ballads are probably the largest percentage, but there are upbeat love songs, sad and regretful love songs and with a tip of the hat to Paul McCartney silly love songs.

Many of these songs came from: https://spinditty.com/playlists/100-Best-Love-Songs-of-the-70s
