Musical Interlude: Easy Listening from the 70s

.
Here's a selection of musical numbers from the 1970s. I'm quite sure most of you will remember them. Turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy ...

Yes, that was of course "Una Paloma Blanca" by the George Baker Selection.  Back in the mid 70s, it was a very popular electone organ piece that was performed a lot at concerts and shows. If my memory doesn't fail me, one Form 6 class even danced to this number at the St Joe concert.

Then there was "Feelings" which was sung by seemingly every single aspiring songbird. There was a period in1975 or 76 when we would roll our eyes and lament "not again!" whenever this was performed. The version you just heard is an instrumental version re-done by Richard Clayderman. I must admit that after not being subjected to this song for so many years, it does sound kinda relaxing ...

Awwwww so sweet ... "Save Your Kisses For Me" won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1976 for British group Brotherhood of Man.  I also love the cute footwork!

Olivia Newton-John is one of the classiest, prettiest and most talented singers in my view. This was one of her signature numbers  "I Honestly Love You". Delivered here via a collage of different performances over the years 1974-2004, this is testimony to Olicia's longevity as a musical performer.

And finally a great song by the Carpenters ...  "Please Mister Postman" ... so relevant in the "pre e-mail" era. How many of you remember waiting for your local postman to bring that letter or package from that special someone? Youngsters these days don't know what they missed - with their emails, IM, Facebook statuses and Tweets ... ha ha ha !

Hope this selection of easy listening numbers brought back some fond memories for you ...
