Hey, Rythmatic, good job! I'm impressed that you tried it without researching. You may not get them all, but it makes it a little more fun.

#3, Terry Jacks' bit hit, was not Chevy Van. I think that was done by Sammy Kershaw. But if there was ever a wonderful 70's song, Chevy Van was it, wasn't it?!

4. damn! can't think of it
5. damn again!!
6. Lean on Me
7. and for the trifecta, damn again!!!!!

who's got 4, 5, & 7?

How about my all-time favorite...Smoke from a Distant Fire and for the bonus, what successful solo artist appears on the album?

I had to look up Terry Jacks. I won't spoil it for others but it reminded me of two other songs. "Shannon", and "Wildfire"... any takers?

RG, I've tried to stay out of this thread because music (especially 70s music) is my line of "vanilla" work. But since no one else has gotten the correct answer, "Chevy Van" was by the one-hit-wonder Sammy Johns.

And while you're on the subject of Sammy KERSHAW, are you aware he's running for Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi?

Well, at least I knew it was a 'Sammy.' Brain is only half-fried due to aging.

No, I didn't realize that he was running for governor.

And knowing you, Gary, I figured that you would be in with both feet! Don't let the day job keep you back. Plow right on through.

Hopefully this will make a few of you feel really old ...ooops I mean young But even though I did not know who the artist was, I do remember driving members of my family crazy when I was little by playing over & over-the 45's of Season's In The Sun, Hooked On A Feeling, & The Streak on my Holly Hobby Record Player. I also loved The Carpenters & The Beatles and sang On Top Of The World as a solo at our junior high choir "tour" of other schools. The song was chosen for me but after the third or fourth time it kind of grew on me. There is a 45 that I loved but can't remember very much of it and I certainly don't have a clue who sang it. So here's another music trivia for ya. All I can remember is that the song was about a telephone and it was a female artist. Part of the words were "there's one in the bedroom and one in the hall..." Sorry I'm not giving anyone much to go on there, but that is all I can recall. Lol, after all that was a long time ago.
