Oh my goodness. I was in junior high in 1973. Was it really 50 years ago??? Geez - I remember all of these songs and most of their lyrics. It's crazy how quickly time passes.
ReplyDeleteI recognized all of them but #12 and remembered it after I listened to it. Great list.
ReplyDeleteI know about half. I've probably heard the others. I turned two in 1973, so you'll have to forgive my ignorance.
