[@ChatNoirVibes]

Which one is your favorite? Did we miss anything?

[@SevenDaysToNoon]

One Bad Apple cause it’s the one that teleports me back to when I was a kid.

[@scotthughes2914]

I've Found Someone Of My Own - Free Movement Theme From Shaft - Issac Hayes

[@Dominos-el7qr]

Just my Imagination. That would make my top ten for the entire decade.

[@matthewwilson9656]

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, American Pie by Don McClean, Riders on the Storm by the Doors, You've got a Friend by James Taylor, to name a few. And how could we forget the Partridge Family or Bobby Sherman?

[@nettyhb5636]

Yes ,that's true , tooooo much talking

[@marilynstilson4173]

WAY TOO MUCH TALK AND NOT ENOUGH MUSIC 🎶🎶🎶🎶‼️

[@jonathand.terrell3419]

So true.

[@WigWamaniac]

@@jonathand.terrell3419 Just what I wanted to write!! :D

[@charlesronk2989]

Rod Stewart Maggie May would be my #1 of these songs.

[@bernadetteMcsorley]

I wish we could all go back to the 70s and 80’s they were the best

[@loraa3873]

U'd miss ur cell phone 😂

[@markdinkel-uh2je]

60s too

[@GregSr]

I graduated from high school in 1971. All these songs are great!

[@AndthenthereisCencorship-xc6yi]

MAggie Mae is an awesome song, still. Still on my play list.

[@romerjusu3804]

Not Disco

[@maxsdad538]

Knew them all, liked them all, and I was a HUGE Three Dog Night fan. But, as God is my witness, until about 10 years ago, I thought Three Dog Night only had three members.

[@royjohnson465]

The black drummer Floyd Sneed for Three Dog Night was a Canadian from Calgary, Alberta.

[@MRBAMBAM1959]

The had 3 lead vocalists.

[@Dominos-el7qr]

Probably not your fault. You only ever heard of Cory, Chuck and Danny. Same with me, although on their albums you did see other musicians.

[@CarolShook-yg9nn]

Lol you probably never seen them on tv with all the other members 😂

[@lizsim]

One of them said one time that one of them had puppies

[@EdwardHixson]

These songs bring back memories of when I was a child. Love em.

[@jcbever1511]

Same here. Joy to the World takes me back to a time that seems so far away now.

[@chuckcribbs3398]

Carol King’s “Tapestry” ruled all of 1971. It was an epic album.

[@MMosesS3rd]

Was so excited when Country Roads came out. I grew up WV and it was rare that WV was ever acknowledged

[@stevielease7952]

Amen. Country Roads is my favorite country song. Reminds me of my old home town one state over in Pennsylvania. Remote area of the Allegheny mountains. Which are the geologically oldest mountain range in the world.

[@tynadarco9038]

I was 8 years old in 1975 and remember all of these songs. The 70’s are my favorite time. I go down memory lane all the time to the 70’s . Life seems so simple compared to now.

[@kevinmurphy8857]

I love 1971. I was nine years old when dawn hit the charts. I will never forget 1971. For me 1970s will be my favourite year's. I hope everyone agrees with me.

[@Kimpossibility]

Would be great if you let the songs play much longer ❤

[@flamingpieherman9822]

I was 8 years old back then... I remember all of these songs coming out... When you're a kid, you don't realize how young you are... But looking back those were some of the best days

[@LauraDoub]

I graduated in 1976and I really liked this. And I agree that rod stewarts song is number one.

[@FreyaTait]

April 1971 was when my beloved mentor first took me under her wing. "Joy to the World" puts me straight back there.

[@SFDOM415]

i was a kid in the 70s this was the adult music that was always playing in the background ( my music came later 78-88 punk, new wave and freestyle) But this was real well constructed quality unforgettable music that got stuck in everyone's head and it still brings back feeling a of my pre teen angst also captain snd tenille was my first " grown up" music crush. followed by blondie the gogos and the b52s in 78

[@Bullzeye1000yds]

Watched the 70,000 Germans sing "Country Roads" at the NFL game in Germany. They didn't miss a word.

[@Meggie1031]

Great songs!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jsjoel2]

I turned 9 in ‘71. My 20 year old son loves 70’s music. He was sitting out on our porch cranking them out just the other night.

[@HerbertCrittenden]

I was 11 in ,,71 and I still love this music it's the music of my youth!!!

[@ronedmunds7119]

Three Dog Night, Stampeders, Lighthouse, April Wine. It was all good. Great time to be young

[@jesseadams8925]

Wasn't April Wine in the 80's?

[@dja69]

[@tytomlinson7831]

Good songs. Way too much talking and not enough song

[@ChatNoirVibes]

I wish I could put more of the song, But KZbin will copywrite the content.

[@michaelbenge2388]

Agreed. Let the songs play a few more measures.

[@larrybudsock6507]

​@@ChatNoirVibesI don't understand why some you tubers play entire songs, while others mention copyright issues.

[@petergenthner6640]

Totally agree we need more of the song.

[@NoNo-ks4gg]

So what if they copywrite it!? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@billhughes8726]

I always loved Cherokee Nation

[@margaretconnery7422]

I loved the Minnie Ripperton single Loving you and have it today on my favourite songs on my mobile.

[@decepticonxtreme6893]

That actually is a very beautiful wonderful marvelous song 💖 easily a Top 10 hit 🎉

[@jesseadams8925]

Comedian/Actress, Maya Rudolph's Mother.

[@charlenemack7040]

I love the Temptations. To think I was only 30 years old when it was played on the radio. I would give everything and anything if I could go back in time. It’s not going to happen.😮

[@CarolShook-yg9nn]

Cherokee Nation still resonates today

[@thankthelord4536]

I was 10. My favorites were " One Bad Apple" by The Osmonds. " I'll Take you there" by The Staple singers, "Smiling Faces" (Tell Lies) by Undisputed Truth, " Love the one you with" by The Isley brothers.

[@mangomum99]

Love John Denver

[@earlgreco8636]

Just My imagination but I remember how much I loved Carol King's Tapestry album.

[@Scott-ri2sy]

first time i heard how can u mend a broken heart my friend Benny RIP had it playing on radio of his 65 Malibu SS

[@michaelvarble4392]

I turned 16 in 71 and still love this music

[@ChatNoirVibes]

thats Awesome!!! 70's was one of the best decade for music.

[@michaelvarble4392]

@@ChatNoirVibes I started listening to rock and roll around 67 and only listen to rock and roll from the 50s 60s and 70s. Absolutely beautiful music all about love and life's struggles. Thank you 🙏

[@royjohnson465]

@@ChatNoirVibes No, the 70’s were “the” very best decade for music and the 60’s we’re second. I graduated from high school in the 70’s and did a bus tour of Europe in the summer of 1970. The 70’s were a very special time. The music with its precise melody and harmony and perfect singing was an emotional high and love in a package and good time music that put a person into a better place !!

[@normanallinson93]

Streisand’s Evergreen, my all time favourite song

[@psykomystro]

A year like no other, in a decade like no other... I wouldn't taint this list by attempting to add my favorites. I love every track here. And as you mentioned they all defined an era!!! Phenomenal!!!

[@Deborah-so8mv]

Real pop music.

[@Deborah-so8mv]

And real soul.

[@EveretteMartin-mw6dy]

I would always sing Blue Ridge Mountains,"West Virginia" everytime we would drive to see my cousins, in West Virginia as a little girl.❤❤❤

[@karenfields-sb4cq]

I was 15 in 71. Love these songs😊❤

[@bobbrown6430]

country roads will live on forever leaving the rest in the dust

[@rdsieben]

1971 was the greatest year in rock ever!

[@margolangley4472]

Songs 1-3 must've remained on the music charts for greater than a year... I used to hear each of them so often (then, of course, tributes to Lynyrd Skynyrd after the fatal plane crash), during my first permanent duty station tour (beginning in 1976)!

[@julieheycott2562]

Love that my most favourite song was Number 1..❤

[@jeffreyweist8681]

My God Carol King in 71.as fine a woman I have never seen

[@kristentaylor5359]

Oh man, seeing that Osmonds album cover with them in the ditch brought back so many memories. My sister was obsessed with Donny!

[@thankthelord4536]

I was too then i was10 yrs old and I'm black.

[@CarmenGarcia-jr8jb]

Captain and tennile was my favorite song. I was born 1960, so my 75 was the best.

[@stuartle888]

As a Canadian teenager in 1975 , these were the songs you would hear on the am radio....it was a real mix

[@Dawn-lf7pi]

Country roads reminds me of my dad. Who is gone.

[@michaellazzeri2069]

" GO AWAY LITTLE GIRL " , WRITTEN BY THE THEN TEAM OF GERRY GOFFIN & CAROLE KING , RECORDED BY STEVE LAWRENCE IN THE SPRING OF 1963 . I WAS 16 Y/O, A JUNIOR IN HS , IN DENVER, COLO., AT DENVER SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL. ----------I REMEMBER THIS SONG CLEARLY. ------MJL, 77 Y/O

[@Blade56762]

Naaaa. So many women today AREN'T wondering why they can't find a man. Sorry to burst your bubble!

[@kevinmurphy8857]

Kncck three times is definitely my favourite by dawn.

[@LizKull]

Nothing can come close to Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry" & a close run-up is "Rock Me Baby"!

[@conniemaros]

Miracles, written by Marty Balin of Starship. My favorite song.

[@SevenDaysToNoon]

I was 11. Didn’t have a care in the world!

[@brucelovenite]

[@katherinekoza6536]

Maggie May forever .

[@DavidDavid-ux8ed]

I saw Three Dog Night at their concert at the Deutschlandhalle in Berlin, Germany, back in 1971. The lights lowered, the lighters lit up the doobies; everybody had a rockin' fantastic good time, fantastic doobies, and fantastic music for their live concert. 😊

[@patriciasnyder6915]

Love Indian Reservation

[@kevinmurphy8857]

[@LaroyceDorsey]

Creepin by Stevie Wonder and Ain't No Use from his fufillingness first finale my husband David and I favorite album next to Innervisions awesome 😎

[@Chris_at_Home]

My wife and I graduated together in 1971. We first met in 7th grade.

[@markdaniel8740]

Judas Priest- The Ripper is among the best ever. Pink Floyd‐ Wish You Were Here came out in 1975, but you HAVE to listen to the entire album.

[@A-1BurmaShave]

As soon as I heard so much talking during “Knock Three Times” I scrolled on.

[@ChatNoirVibes]

Sorry about that, for copyright purposes I couldn't add more of the music. thanks for stopping by though.

[@traceyhellsten649]

Love all of these, you missed a couple of great Elvis songs 😉. Also, I was 12 that year and know everything about all those artists and songs, love them all. Anyone my age needs no explanation. We would rather hear less explaining and more song 😅. God bless 🙏

[@raymondsusani3346]

I would go back to 1971 knowing what I know now. This gs would be a lot different

[@davidbreedlove8234]

I was 13 in 75 so my taste ran a little bit bubble gum. Captain and Tennille wer big favorites, then Elton John, then John Denver and so on but I loved all of the music back then, and for a couple bucks you could go to your local record store and buy it on a 45 and play it over and over until you were sick of it! ♥️ the 70’s 👍

[@thankthelord4536]

A couple of bucks? I bought One Bad Apple for a $1 and i was ten yrs old. I saved my nickels and dimes for that record, lol.

[@claytonlee]

I had the biggest crush on Olivia Newton-John back then.

[@davidstepro7486]

[@annewrenn5014]

Check the charts radio airplay, box -office, LP Sales... mmm, OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN!

[@tammywooley2635]

I agree Carole King, Juice Newton, Debbie Boone, Cher, Emmylou Harris and Tiffany should have been on this list.

This is all about the 1971 hits. Just a heads up.

[@mangomum99]

American pie & Roberta flac

[@MrAntotheninja]

If you talk about vocal harmonies, then you must miss the R&B Soul vocal groups 😢. They are ranging from The Supremes and The Temptations in 1960s to Boyz II Men and Xscape in the 1990s.

[@CarolShook-yg9nn]

I agree they were sadly missing from the list

[@whipsplash6943]

Well the best music in 1971 was on FM radio not AM llike the songs on this list.

Favorite: John Denver

[@stevebryant6631]

A LOT less talking and more music. The music is stand alone and self explanatory, WITHOUT the voice talking over the tunes!

[@daleanderson-ip8oq]

I agree with tomlinson

[@earlkirkland9476]

I’ve never seen that picture of Dawn. The group I knew was Tony Orlando, Joyce Vincent Wilson, and Telma Hopkins.

Yes, “Afternoon Delight”!!

[@dennis300cr]

Knock Three Times has a unique history before Tony Orlando and Dawn actually came together as the band! Songwriter were actually Irwin LevineL. Russell Brown!
