But mostly my collection was an ode to Cher, Donny and Marie, and Bobby Sherman...among others.

So does Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods ring a bell with anyone?

Billy Don't Be A Hero...don't be a fool with your li-i-i-fe.

BTW, Melanie's FIRST hit was a song written about Woodstock called "Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)" and was one of my favorite songs when I was in the 7th grade. No need to Google-search the year that song was out, BTW. LOL.

Wow. How did I miss Melanie's first hit? I wonder why she never put out a greatest hits album?

My friends and I used to sing Billy Don't be a Hero - very loudly - on our walk to school in 7th grade. And there's no need to Google that year either. lol. It was a long time ago but, in some ways, feels like it was just yesterday. Except I think my taste in music has improved in time.

As far as 1970s music goes, all I can say is "Thank God for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band." Oh, and the Ramones.
