Free Music Notes for Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1970
Free Music Review: awesome tunes that made us wanna DANCE !!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1970 offers ten hot hits that made the airwaves sizzle back in 1970! This surely brings back many fond memories for me; I love this older rock music. Hopefully it will bring back great memories for the people who first heard these tunes on the radio; and newcomers to this style of music would do well to consider this fine CD.
The Shocking Blue kick off the track set of hits with their smash hit entitled "Venus." "Venus" has a great guitar solo and the percussion, drums and more carry the bulk of the musical arrangement. They play and sing this song so well it makes me wanna dance every time I hear it! Awesome! Listen also for "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" by Three Dog Night. Three Dog Night does an awesome job on "Mama Told Me (Not To Come);" the modulations between major and minor work very well and the guitars are really cool. I love it! The harmonizing of some of the lyrics is very good, too.
The Partridge Family follows with what seems like a softer rock style hit, "I Think I Love You." "I Think I Love You" is a softer type of rock love ballad that still works well as they play this; David Cassidy sings this strong and he never misses a beat! There seems to be a harpsichord in this arrangement--and this impresses me very much.
The Jackson 5 weigh in with their "I Want You Back;" little Michael Jackson sings his heart out and the funky early `70s flavor enhances the natural beauty of this rock tune. The percussion, drums, guitars and more make "I Want You Back" a true highlight of this album. Moreover, there's also an awesome "Spirit In The Sky" by Norman Greenbaum; this number always makes me stop and listen to it because it's just so good. I love the guitar arrangement and the background vocalists sing this without a superfluous note.
Edwin Starr scores big with his hit "War;" this strong, rockin' ballad tells it like it is about war; Edwin Starr delivers this with all his might and it really comes off sounding very good. The album ends with Sugarloaf's "Green-Eyed Lady;" this is one terrific hit and you will like this if you haven't heard it before. Great guitar arrangement on "Green-Eyed Lady," too!
This CD more than amply proves that the early `70s were a great time for some fresh, new rock music that made us want to dance and listen to these songs over and over again. I highly recommend this CD.
