IMO she is underrated on the HOT scale.................she had a quiet sex appeal as the girl next door
I really love those albums and did not know they all dropped in 1977! I didn't discover them until the 80's.
Only 2 things mattered to me in 1977: Star Wars KISS Earl Campbell would come into my life the next year and The Police and Rush didn't come until the early 80's.
Nice, I had no idea this show existed. I did watch SNL back in 77. It was so edgy back then. And of course I watched the hell out of Benny Hill and Bizarre. 10 and 10:30 every weeknight on channel 39. Both shows would occasionally show boobs.
A crazy fact not many people know: There was a law on the books in NYC in the 1970s that stipulated that any television show filmed in NYC was required to have at least one episode a season that guest starred either Paul Simon or James Taylor, or, in the event they weren’t available, Debbie Harry, David Bowie or Captain and Tennille.
Well now this changes everything. Like @B-Bob and the Physicists (great band name, btw) changing the rules of existence whenever they feel like making up some new theory.
It’s pretty common for a song to achieve mainstream popularity a year or three after it was released. If the particular song was part of the pop culture zeitgeist of the year, it makes sense.
Funny you posted this. We took my nephew with us to Ireland this past summer before his training in Quantico. He asked us one day WTF with all the ABBA over here
