Okay, a lot of kids as well as younger adults have no idea what top 40 radio stations were like when I was growing up, you had a Wide variety of artists on, from rock, to pop, to disco, you name it. A lot of the songs were from one and two hit wonders, and many were from acts still around now.
A few years ago, my family bought me the Time Life's 70's music explosion, and from that, these are the songs I had them make into a mix cd for me, so I had only what I wanted...
And yes, as you can tell from them, I was a lovesick romantic girl growing up....

Summer breeze (one of my top five ever songs. I remember being on a bus, on a deployment in Korea one winter and for some reason, this came on. Everyone stopped what they were doing, and All the women and a fair amount of the guys started singing.)
