Rock and Roll oldies from the 60's and 70's

[vivfox]

I'm interested in hearing some new/old classics. Please make a list of some of your favorite oldies. I'm hoping to rediscover songs I've completely forgotten about.

I drag this out on only the grayest of gloomiest days, say a cold Ohio winter day, I will play this. It's just fitting for those times.

I've never heard Everytime I Look at You before. I played it on youtube and it was totally unfamiliar. I don't know Warm Ride either and could not locate it on youtube to verify. Other than the Stevie Wonder songs, none of these songs are a lost oldie to me.

I've never heard a lot of these songs. But I did listen to all the unfamiliar ones. None of it interests me except Sally Go Round The Roses, which is not a favorite but the best of what I've never heard.

I found one!!!
Rock Your Baby: George McRae
This isn't really a forgotten oldie but it's one of the great songs from the past I didn't have in my collection, and I thank you Dave for reminding me.

So far Dave's list is the closest to what I am looking for. To be more specific, I'm looking for songs that were singles, not obscure album tracks.

[vivfox]

On my own I discovered this lost, great oldie. I LOVE this song!!!

I love Everytime I Look at You! Good Hall & Oates song!
Warm Ride is on the Bee Gee's Greatest 2-disc set that came out in 2007. The song itself is a "previously unreleased" song. :cool:

The ones in bold are my favs. Of course I removed the Fleetwood Mac songs I listened to during that time. I love disco and proud to say it! :nod:I mostly listen to "old" music, hence my love and obsession with Fleetwood Mac!

[Macfanforever]

I just got a box of records from my friend as I was helping him move.Most was Classical,Big Band and Christmas albums.I put all the xmas albums into my collection.One lp was Olivia Newton-John's "Have you never been mellow" from 1975 which I love.Also there was truck load or Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops LP's .Which I enjoy listening too.He was popular at Radio Shack in the 1970's.

[vivfox]

Shaun Cassidy - That's Rock N Roll
Burton Cummings - Stand Tall


First of all Bee, I want to thank you for putting in a good effort to hook me up with past songs. There are several from the list that I know and many that I've never heard in my life.

The two songs above:
I can't stand Shaun Cassidy. I despised him when he was popular. Justin Bieber sort of looks like him.

Stand tall is def. a song that would be a forgotten oldie for me but unfortunately I don't love it enough to save it.

[vivfox]

"The Letter" - The Box Tops

Great list with lots of great songs here. I never knew the title of the song (Expressway To Your Heart") by the Soul Survivors., but have always enjoyed this song when it's played on the radio.

[vivfox]

Rupert Holmes- Him


A few months ago I remembered this song and added it to my oldies list. The other songs were close, but no cigar. Any other suggestions?

[vivfox]

We Ain't Got Nothing Yet--the Blue Magoos


Of all the songs from your list THIS song would have been the great lost oldie but unfortunately for me, I already have it. Thanks for trying though. I'm still waiting for my date with James :):xoxo:

[vivfox]

So your looking for songs that you knew awhile back, but you just forgot about over the years? YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES


Show and Tell - Al Wilson
Long Train Runnin' - Doobie Brothers


I always thought this Doobie Brothers song was titled Without You. You taught me something!
Show and Tell was a great lost oldie that I remembered about a year ago.

I like the idea of any Ledgie pulling these tracks off your i pods and posting them for me. So far no one has presented me with a forgotton oldie that I love(d). So keep trying!

Love, Viv
