Musical Tragedies of the 70s

[mommar]

Never realized that story line to Seasons in the Sun... The middle verse was theme song for my childhood-to-high-school best friend and me: "Skinned our Hearts and Skinned our Knees."

60s Tragic Songs:
Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely... First time this little girl cried to a song on the radio.
The Green Berets. Second time.
Honey -- tear jerker... See the tree how big's grown, it wasn't long when it was small and just a twig... And Honey, I love you and I'm being good... etc., etc.

OMG.............I loved that album yes album........I know I'm showing my age

The night Chicago died...Paperlace

good melody tho... and great sax.

[RinglingRingling]

musically, all of these songs are pretty tragic

Try being named Billy when that freakin' song came out

because it affected women your age the same way it did the hs/jr. hi girls?

Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks and yes I knew that by memory

Also, Honey by Bobby Goldsboro and yes I remembered that one too.

But hey you can probably throw in Lynn Anderson's I never promised you a rose garden

Richie Valens - Teen Angel but not sure it's 70's

given he cacked it in a plane crash with JP Richardson and Buddy Holly in 1959, probably not...

I'd count disco as a musical tragedy...

and tight white polyester bellbottoms... well, ok.. basically any of the costuming bands used from the 1970s. It truely was an era to enjoy the music but burn the photos.

the Bad Company song, followed immediately by Skynard's "Ooohooh That Smell"...
