70's Christmas Music?

Asked by jkap (35points) October 14th, 2008

I’m doing the sound design for Absurd Person Singular and decided that since it takes place on Christmas Eve in the early 1970’s, 70’s Christmas Music would be good pre/post/intermission music.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Nothing more 70s than Freddie Mercury and Queen with Thank God It’s Christmas.

Jingle Bell Rock. It was originally released in 1956, but it was a staple on radio play lists all through the 70s.

Here’s a whole 70s Christmas album.

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass did a Christmas album in the late 60’s
Chicago and Jethro Tull have one not sure what era.
If you are looking for something a bit different…..

Both the Partridge Family and the Jackson Five put out Xmas albums in the 70’s.
