The pop duo Peter and Gordon was part of the British Invasion in the 60's. Interestingly, Peter had a sister named Jane who dated Paul McCartney. Paul, in turn, gave this wonderful tune to Peter and Gordon who, in turn, got a #1 hit with it:


Amen.

Jimmy Webb wrote this classic number for Glen Campbell, who turned it into a #1 hit in 1968. Glen passed away from Alzheimer's at the age of 81 in 2017:

The Girl From Ipanema spent two weeks at #1 on the easy listening chart and was a worldwide hit. Astrud Gilberto's beauty and softly sexy voice is what took this bossa nova classic over the top, IMHO.


Amen.

This song spent a week at #1 on the easy listening chart in 1975.  It's by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, although Reynolds left the group in 1972 and was replaced by Alan Dennison:

This special, heartfelt song was written by Kenny Loggins for his brother Danny to celebrate the birth of his son Colin.  And, not surprisingly, Anne Murray had a #1 hit cover of it:


Amen.

The Little River Band is from OZ. I saw them live a number of years ago. Great show!  This is one of my favorites:

I could post this in the 1960s thread, but this one won out. This is a special love song with wonderfully simple lyrics:


Amen.

Chad Stuart (no relation) and Jeremy Clyde formed Chad & Jeremy in 1962. Not long after, they were part of The British Invasions spearheaded by the Beatles, Stones, et al. C&J, however, had a soft sound that proved to be quite successful. This is their biggest song:


Amen.

I first heard this in a 1985 flick called Fandango. Starring Kevin Costner, Judd Nelson and others, it didn't fare well at the box office. But, I am here to tell you - it is hilarious. And I love this piece:



Amen.
Deo vindice

Heh. They were part of the "British Invasion" in the mid-sixties and the "mop top" haircut was popular.

Amen.

Cymarron was formed In Memphis, Tennessee and hit the charts with Rings in 1971.  They kept recording in the years following, but didn't chart again. No mind, this song is a keeper:

Granted, many of these songs can fit in more than one thread. Take this super song by B. J. Thomas, for example. It could go in the 1960s thread or the "jamming too" thread. Oh well.

By the way, the B.J. does not stand for blowjob. B.J.'s name was Billy Joe Thomas and he was born in Hugo. Oklahoma. He had several hits, but this one is my favorite.  It came out six years before Blue Swede's cover and climbed all the way to #5 on the charts:


Amen.
Deo vindice
