Since everybody is so open and honest, I feel somewhat comfortable enough to share that "You Light Up My Life" gets me teary-eyed. I know I know cheese can be emotional too. Did you know that song was about her professing her spiritual beliefs in God? I learned about that a few years ago when I heard the history of rock 'n roll, which is fascinating. The story behind the lyrics. So essentially it was a gospel/spiritual song. But like anything else, different songs have different meanings for the listener as well as singer/writer. Ok, enough of that...
The 70' I cling to dearly. My friends call me "old school." In the 70's, I was under the age of 10, and I would spend my summers listening to my parents 45's of Lou Rawls, Earth Wind & Fire, Gladys Knight & the Pips, The O'Jays and so on. My favorite compilation cds are the Pure Disco series..Here's a sample of #3: Sister Sledge - He's the Greatest Dancer The Trammps - Disco Inferno Peaches& Herb -Shake Your Groove Thing A Taste of Honey - Boogie Oogie Oogie France Joli - Come To Me Abba - Lay All Your Love On Me Spinners - Then Came You Andy Gibb - Shadow Dancing Blondie - Heart of Glass It just defines my early childhood, when music was all about fun. You didn't have to take it seriously. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

youngca said: the debbie boone,marmalade,rupert holmes,stuff DID suck. but remember when yo're younger your view of music is much different. i'll give you some examples: 3.sugar sugar-archies...hated it with a passion when it was HOT...but the musician in me (has since fooled around with it-with other musicians and discovered its a nicely put-together song...yes its DUMb...and there was no real group...but i now see why it was a hit. on the other hand there were some 'GOOD 70's songs i would not be ashamed to play for my friends ,to wit: I LOVED "Sugar Sugar" a, bubblegum classic. "Sugar, awww honey honey, you are my candy girl, and you got me wanting you." Sounds like somebody had a sweet tooth. I heard an updated, remixed version on an oldies station once. "hot chocolate-you sexy thing (good tune) **Now that's a song that irks me to no end!!!** steve miller-fly like an eagle & serenade **I never get tired of that song.** boz scraggs-low down was pretty smooth and big in the hood circa 76 **That's a daily staple on AC soul station. It gets me going especially early in the morning.** tavares-heaven must be an angel **Probably on my top 100 all-time fave songs ever list if I ever created one.** hall & oates-rich girl & she's gone player-baby come back **Another one that would be on my list** 10cc-things we do for love (superb tune...i've done this one with groups...its a well crafted tune.) 4. more more more-andrea true connection (she couldn't sing her way out of...) **I'd play it and do a little dance with it. Scare everybody to death, but I don't care.** "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

I love "You Light Up My Light" and I'm not embarrassed to admit it (well,not on the Internet anyway...lol).I remember my mother buying the 45 single.It was the theme song to a movie of the same name.She took us to the see the film,but the film was a bomb.The song,on the other hand,became a huge smash.It was Number One for many weeks.It's a really emotional,heartfelt song.Too bad that Whitney Houston's recent cover version is so disappointing.
