I've surely left some out, but that's quite a list. I don't think I could make that long a list from any other year. I can see the development of my psyche in that list. That was a remarkable year. I remember the celebrations and patriotism of our country's Bicentennial. I think that year was one of my 'coming of age' times. Something in me emerged then. We went to Disney World that year. I haven't been there since. It surprises me that several of those songs are on the Lyrics blog.
Is there a year in your life like that?

Wow! Those stir up some memories. Fox on the Run, I know few people who remember that one let alone like it! '76 was sixth grade for me...a time when my musical tastes broadened greatly. Great post Rae Ann!!!
What an awsome list. I want to make it a playlist. You rock!
Thanks, guys!
When you "borrow" all of those songs from the net and burn them onto a CD, I want a copy. :)
Great tunes!
Lois Lane
You forgot the Uh Huh, Uh Huh in That's The Way I Like It...
Great list!
LOL Madman! That was early 80's for me, but you're 8 years older, so that about adds up! And if my boss is reading this, we're talking about sugar donuts...people used to put them on their noses...yeah, that's it!
