1970s Songs

[Herman]

Here's some interesting trivia fer ya - Rickey Medlocke was raised by his maternal grandparents. His Grampa was Paul "Shorty" Medlocke, a musician. Well, "Ttain, Train" was written by Shorty and he plays harmonica on the Blackfoot recording of "Train, Train".

Here's Shorty's original recording of "Train, Train":

Amen.

I have seen that video of Shorty before.

Closer To Home was one of the first albums I ever owned. On top of that, I've seen Grand Funk Railroad at least a half dozen times over the years. They've made a lotta hit music over a long career.  I consider this to be their magnum opus:

Amen.

Thin Lizzy was an Irish band led by Phil Lynott. He is yet another artist who died way too soon.  He was only 36.

I bought the Jailbreak album when it came out. This song from that album was released in 1976.  It wasn't a big hit, but it is one of their best:

Amen.

I liked a few songs by Thin Lizzy. Everybody knows The Boys are Back in Town.

This rocker was underrated in my opinion.
