Ahhh........the love songs of the 70s. we all had a favorite. what was yours?
The 70s music will mainly be remembered for the many love songs from that era. like, Fool(if you think its over—Chris Rhea) and so many others. back then, i was not much at dancing(since i was the one making the music), so today, my wife and i are making up for lost time. our kids are grown and gone and its time for us to rediscover each other with some of the best slow songs of the 70s. i need some really good slow song suggestions to once again get my “groove on”. hey, who says older folks still can’t have fun? which was your favorite and why?

Chicago If You leave Me Now
Commodores Three Times a lady
Roberta Flack the First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Marina…..i love Chicago. each musician has a masters degree in music and it shows. thanks.
Chicago had a bunch of great ones. there was also “You’re the Inspiration.”
They had a concert in Las Vegas and it was shown on cable for a while. it was fantastic. i have watched it over and over many times. i have yet to hear one mistake that Chicago has ever made in any of their recordings. if you listen to their music with a qualtiy set of headphones, you will understand what i mean. thanks for the answer, Marina.
Al Green, smooth as silk singer.
Hmmm…“So Into You”-Atlanta Rhythm Section
“yesterday once more” by the Carpenters, love it love it love it :-)
hugs xx
Marvin Gaye- Let’s Get It On
Robinson…......love Al Green, Lets Stay Together. we will use this song. thanks.
How could I forget Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones. It is my favorite song of theirs.
Wow to many to mention. Just last night I saw an commercial for time life collection of the 70’s. Every 5 seconds, I was saying, OMG, thats my favorite!
Bridge Over Troubled Water / Simon and Garfield
And I agree with Pandora, anytime a special on music from the 60s, 70s and on plays I react like that. However, my all time favorite love song to this day is by Rod Stewart “You’re in my Heart”!!!
I’m with @Marina and @filmfann ‘s are good too. I also have a soft spot for Oh Mandy.
Songbird by Fleetwood Mac. I walked down the aisle to it at my first wedding. What a waste :(
You Make My Pants Want to Get Up and Dance- Dr. Hook
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack
Rock Star by The Carpenters
The Rose by Bette Midler
I’m not sure if it’s 70’s but I’ve always liked Stevie Wonder’s version of “Signed Sealed Delivered…”
Most of Air Supply’s songs.
I should have made up a new identity to say this.
I have listened to many, many of your suggestions and i finally believe i have hit on the perfect 70s love song for my wife and i to dance to. thanks to everyone for your suggestions, i really mean thank you. and the winner for us…...
Rod Stewart…....”.You’re In My Heart”

What year did Love Story, the movie, come out?
chyna…......how in the world could i have ever forgotten Air Supply? each of their love songs was a hit. thanks for the memories!
@Harp Oh yes, both are good songs.
@Harp I love the song Our House!
Oh my gosh, all of them (even though I wasn’t alive when they came out)! I can’t pick just one, so here are a few of my faves:
1. “Heart of Glass”—Blondie
2. “I Want You To Want Me”—Cheap Trick. When I was a teenager, I actually had a t-shirt with the song’s title printed on the front in fuzzy velour letters. I might come to regret that one day, but I don’t yet. ;)
3. “Everlasting Love” by Carl Carlton
