Post your favorite mellow tunes from the 1970s.

Such a simpler time, wasn't it?

Or does our memory just play tricks on us?

Anyway, I have fond memories...

Thank you for being brave enough to post "Mandy."

I was watching that same video five minutes before I posted this thread.

Yes, I like that song, I admit it.

But I also realized I would get flamed into next week if I used that video to open this thread.

I'm afraid to get started in this thread, because I'll be typing all night...

The 70's was my time. I have litterally THOUSANDS of 70's tunes in my database.

OK, you want mello, here's one of my favorites:

David Gates, and Bread - Guitar Man

Paging Subnet....

Ahhh, Loggins and Messina....

I would play this one for my daughter when she was a little girl.

She surprised me and played it for our father-daughter dance at her wedding.

I cried like a little girl.

I've owned a Miata for more than 20 years now, and have posted about it here –– after that, Mandy is nothing.

(I like that song, too, and Manilow in general... and don't care who knows it.

If you want "lesser remembered" how about this '79 not-quite-a-hit (but it got some radio play) from my very favorite rock group of all time... and a bit iof a departure for them, at that.
