[NightTrain]

Poll question: BEST NUMBER 2 HIT of the MID-1970s?

Since only five songs peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1975, we'll be getting through the middle '70s pretty darn quick, y'all! :shrug:

1. Barry White!

[NewHampster]

2. And Disco Begins

LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY

[DODI]

3. They early 70's were much better.

[NightTrain]

5. You ain't just whistlin' "Dixie," Dodi!

LIONEL JEFFERSON: "Oh, I never do that, Mr. Bunker!" :evilgrin:

11. Yeah, free sex! Great for us six year olds!

My favorite songs in the early 70s were "Won't you be my neighbor," and the theme from "Sesame Street."

Both of which you left off, BTW.

4. I love them all

I can't choose.

I think I'll wait to cast a sympathy vote for whichever song doesn't get a vote. :)

6. Love to love ya

I just heard that song on my way to work and can't get it out of my head. Had to vote for it!

7. From a John Denver fan...

Calypso and I'm Sorry are two different songs. :)

[ronnykmarshall]

8. They were on the same record.

Calypso was on the "B" side that became a hit was well.

'cause I always loved Jacques Cousteau...but I had to vote for "Love to love ya, baby" cause I grooved my drunken' 16 year old ass to that one!:toast:

14. Well, Dean, I liked them

all, so which one do you want me to sing to you when we finally are able to meet in person?
:loveya: :hi: :bounce:

[NightTrain]

15. I'd lo-o-o-o-o-ove to hear you attempt that Donna Summer tune!

Speaking of meeting, I think we need to figure out just when that's finally going to occur! I was thinking some time in early May. By then, I may even be able to drive to Ohio if need be. Cross your fingers!

[liberalhistorian]

17. That is, indeed,

one sultry, sexy tune! My mom always wondered how many teenagers lost their virginity listening to it, lol!

Yes, we do need to make some plans here, plans that will, hopefully, work out this time. At least we won't have to worry about the weather getting in the way! Call me tomorrow morning if you get a chance.
