70s Playlist

Earlier this month we threw a 1970s themed party.  Among the polyester, platforms and mustaches was an amazing 70s playlist.

Dear Husband took it upon himself to create the perfect 70s playlist.  He worked on this bad boy for weeks, possibly months.  All the music had to be from 1974 or earlier and was a perfect mixture of soul, funk, rock and very early punk.  

He had 4 hours of music plus an alternate list for the late night guests.  This is just a sampling of his master list:

Carl Davis – Kung Fu Fighting

Barry White – Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love Babe

Love Unlimited Orchestra – Love’s Theme

Stevie Wonder – You Haven’t Done Nothin’

Kool & The Gang – Jungle Boogie

Jackson 5 – Dancing Machine

Neil Diamond – Cracklin’ Rose

Hall & Oats – Rich Girl

Elvis Presley – Suspicious Minds

Bill Donaldson & The Haywoods – Billy Don’t Be A Hero

Andy Kim – Rock Me Gently

The Isley Brothers – That Lady

Friends of Distinction – Grazing In The Grass

Isaac Hayes – Theme from Shaft

David Bowie – Rebel Rebel

Chicago – 25 or 6 to 4

The Commodores – Machine Gun

Bay City Rollers – Saturday Night

Sweet – Ballroom Blitz

B.J. Thomas – Hooked On A Feeling

Billy Preston – Nothing From Nothing

The Kiki Dee Band – I’ve Got The Music In Me

Led Zeppelin – Over The Hills And Far Away

Have a listen and let me know what you think of our super 70s playlist.

This month my friend Mari from Mari, Quite Contrary is hosting a mixed tape link up.  Got a mixed tape of your own?  Check it out and link it up.
