Billboard magazine published a year end chart of their top 100 songs of 1974. If you want to see all 100 you will have to visit this web page. These were the top 10 with links to my posts on this blog:
- “Love Will Keep Us Together” by Captain and Tennille
- “Rhinestone Cowboy” by Glen Campbell
- “Philadelphia Freedom” by Elton John
- “Before the Next Teardrop Falls” by Freddie Fender. Sorry, way too country.
- “My Eyes Adored You” by Frankie Valli
- “Some Kind of Wonderful” by Grand Funk Railroad. I didn’t post that song even though it got up to #3 on the Billboard weekly charts so it is below. I did post their song “Bad Time.“
- “Shining Star” by Earth, Wind & Fire
- “Fame” by David Bowie. This post includes his mug shot from his arrest in Rochester.
- “Laughter in the Rain” by Neil Sedaka
- “One of These Nights” by Eagles
