Copywrite on a lot of these, sorry about that but it's out of my hands unfortunately.

[@jimimack7298]

Never did understand. Why wouldn't someone want to have their song featured in something like this? It's sort of advertising for their song. So stupid!

You are right mate ,there's fuck all you can do about Gary glitter being on this hit list.

[@oneteamineurope]

You have to laugh at these pricks. You play 10 seconds if that of their song and they get all shirty about it. You would have thought that they would provide a link to the full version as opposed to quieting your version. Great montage, love it.

[@mrfymie9799]

Having just watched this all the way through, (and yes, I do remember them,) it struck me that one of the main difference between then and now is the diversity of the music. We seem to have lost that somehwere along the way. Some great songs in there, but, some so-so ones too.

[@catman1920]

Absolutely the best music was in the 70s. I'm 60 years old now and I can remember every song. The 70s was the best days of my life.

absolutely loved listening to this list, I am now 55, but as soon as i heard this compilation I remember exactly , when and what I was doing, nothing like music to bring back memories, if music be the food of love then play on, because I have nothing but love for my friends and family who shared in these happy years with me x

[@rjjcms1]

Yes,I was 5 to 15 in the 70s but nearly every number 1 from that decade takes me back to where I was and what we were doing at the time.

[@davidneilson5307]

Thanks for sharing this great decade . So many great memories in my teenage years.

[@MsCaz007]

I was born in Dec '61 so I loved being a teenager in the mid to late 70's. Also love all the 60's music I grew up with. The best thing now is that I have seen in the past few years Peter Frampton, Suzi Q, Neil Diamond, Eagles, America and others and they still sound fabulous. I waited 30 years to see Rodger Hodgeson (the voice of Supertramp) and that concert would be my groundhog day if I could pick one. Just wish I had the same energy .

[@Lee.Higginbotham]

Wow this is great being from the US to see what hit #1 in the UK and what bands we shared!! Shocking no #1's by the Beatles from there Let It Be album. And none by 3 Dog Night!! I will watch the rest of the 70's!! Thanks!!

First record bought was Leo sayer won't let the show go on..still love it to this day..

[@TheHendonKissArmy]

Thank you so much. Really enjoyed it. My favourite decade ever, growing up in the 70's was brilliant. Never felt more let down than anyone in my life than by GG. I still enjoy listening to his songs and seeing John Rossalls Glitterband. Always feel why should he let me ruin the enjoyment of listening to his music?

[@peterwoodward1382]

Agreed, I still have all of the records released by GG and the Glitter band. I felt sorry for them when the shit hit the fan, glam rock will never be repeated.

[@AcePanno1]

For me, the fun started with Mungo Jerry and Marc Bolan followed closely by Slade and The Sweet, what a brilliant start to the decade. I still listen to this music today.

[@lesleydanby5448]

Me too

[@kvernon1]

As an American, this was so much fun to watch! Some of these songs were also #1 in America, others were good songs but not nearly as popular here, and others I never heard even once! You might find it hard to believe Slade was a complete mystery to me, T-Rex had only one USA hit ("Get it on"), Gilbert O'Sullivan had a huge hit with "Alone Again (Naturally)" which didn't even hit #1 here (while the two #1's here barely made a dent in America) ... both the similarities & differences were fascinating! I can't wait to watch Part 2. Thanks so much for putting this together!

[@sladeippie5841]

You missed the ball, what a shame. Big is not always better especially where live music is concerned. Watching a band play live from the other side of some gigantic arena is no fun. But a small intimate venue at unbelievable volume levels, well that's something to behold. 'Slade' live at the 'Lyceum Theater England' 1980 'Till Deaf Do Us Part' Tour. I came away from that gig soaking with sweat, with hardly any vocal ability after all the singing along and my ears rang on for at least 2 days........Best gig i ever went to.

[@patrickeffiom97]

Unfortunately there were a lot of novelty records over here.I don't think it was as bad on your side of the pond.Okay you had disco duck and the streak but we had too many throughout the seventies. I was only a very young child in the seventies but it seems to me the decade is more fondly remembered in your country than it is over here.We only had 3 TV channels-can u imagine that!!!

The song was recorded in 1968, and was re-released as a single after Hendrix's death in 1970. It was the A side on a three-track record, and reached Number 1 in the UK. It was catalogued as "'Voodoo Child" (Slight Return), and that is the title which appears on the single and is the title referred to officially. The term "slight return" refers to the song's initial role as a reprise of the 15-minute track "Voodoo Chile" featured earlier on the album Electric Ladyland. Thanks for the comment!
