Please stop it.

I'm not sure why Debby Boone career was a one hit wonder, a lil' sappy but I like it.

Have you heard about songwriter Joseph Brooks and his son? Both are creeps.

That has to be one of the worst songs ever and the killer thing is, it's from a movie no one remembers. Ms Trina, do tell about the songwriter and his son-were they serial killers?

^^ No I haven't, tell me.

This song does give me the creeps though. I loved how people took it as a love song, then Debbie said it was about Jesus or something.

I know why she became a one-hit wonder: they played the song too fucking much.

it's 70s sap, pure and simple.

Nevermind, I found out about that Brooks dude, apparently he's indicted on assault and (I believe) rape charges against four women. His son strangled and killed a swimsuit designer.

I knew they were killers and criminals. Just call me Nancy Drew!

One thing I remember about this song back in the day: It was a HUGE hit! The radio played it like 50 times a day, lol.

Jesus, that whole family is corny!

The very fact that someone recorded a song called Muskrat Love is enough for me.

Whether you like them or not and yes they were a little corny but you can't hate

on this song here.

They're no Carpenters.

scriptgirl said:

Well no they aren't . The Carpenters were brother and sister and Cap and Tennille were husband and wife.

One of the reasons why they took off was because of Tennille, she really has a nice singing voice and she had a lot of charisma.

this thread has taken an interesting turn

The Carpenters were ok too but i don't see much difference

between the two. Karen and Toni both had great voices but

they both will probably be forever classified as cheesy pop.

We are in trouble but it's Cerebus fault, he mentioned it.

Captain's eyes look like those kids in those creep velvet paintings. Tennille has a lovely voice, but it is very lounge singer.

Karen Carpenter, totally different. An amazing drummer and one of the most perfect voices of all time. The tone, the feeling she evoked. Never a wrong note. Brilliant. She is up there with Judy Garland, imho.

Why has society made me feel embarrassed to admit "You Light Up My Life" is one of my favorite 70's Pop songs??? Sure, it may be a little sappy but I'll take 'sappy' over 'crappy', which is mostly what we get now.
