Would you give a little more detail on Le Freak being #1 3 times. By the same group?...well you did list it as Chic so I doubt it was that. Different years? Like it left the charts then came back (like Chubby Checker's The Twist) or just hit #1, drop a position and then re-peak at #1 again? Maybe different Genre lists like the disco list as well as pop list? I only remember it as a 1 time smash in late '78/early '79. Tell me what you're talking about.

Does anyone here remember a tv show called The Midnight Special"? It debuted in 1972, and ran from 1-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="150">2:30</a> am on Friday nights. Wolfman Jack was the MC, each show featured a half dozen LIVE mainstream bands, playing at 2 am. It was the first late night broadcast show to air after 1 am on a regular basis. Ever. It was years before SNL, even more before MTV or VHS recorders...

A couple of semi-forgotten (by some) gems from the 70s: 'Moonlight, Feels Right' by Starbuck, 'Miracles' by Jefferson Starship, 'Feel So Good' by Chuck Mangione, 'Bitter With The Sweet' by Carole King, 'Summer Rain' by Johnny Rivers. -- That's just a few.

@@nicoleknight9412 YES! THIS. First band I ever saw live, 1976 aged 15; ma & pa were HUGE fans and their stuff was on all the time. Never better than with David Byron. I met Lee Kerslake in a disco/club one night, aged around 18. He was standing with the hatcheck girl (his g.friend). I could not have been more surprised and neither could he! A disco dollybird coming up and saying "Aren't you Lee Kerslake"? He nearly fell over when I told him they were one of my favourite bands and had seen them! We shook hands nicely, had a laugh at the weirdness of it all and I hit the dance floor. Happy, happy daze.

You cant speak these song or the music of forgotten. I am sure many people around the world still listen to much of the music from the 60s-70s that they grew up with. I know i do. For the simple reason I love music and total dislike TV and have done for 2 decades. Nothing but music every day on a Bose system, JVC headphone or the in-car usb . You just cannot beat music if you have the ears for it. My personal view is music lives on.

Man... I was 16 in 1987, the first time I stumbled across Life on Mars and it has SINCE lived on every mixtape or playlist I’ve ever created... to say that Life on Mars is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS is putting it mildly... I cried like a baby when David Bowie passed and CHEERED LOUDLY when they said that it was playing in the car that was shot into space... if you’ve never heard the song, go listen right now, you’ll thank me...
