Oh What A Year – 1977!

1977 was a great year for music, given Disco was fading, and pop music was enjoying a surge of success. What were the top songs of 1977?

1. “Tonight’s the Night (Gonna Be Alright)” Rod Stewart
2. “I Just Want to Be Your Everything” Andy Gibb
3. “Best of My Love” Emotions
4. “Love Theme (From “A Star Is Born)” Barbra Streisand
5. “Angel In Your Arms” Hot
6. “I Like Dreamin’” Kenny Nolan
7. “Don’t Leave Me This Way” Thelma Houston
8. “(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher” Rita Coolidge
9. “Undercover Angel” Alan O’Day
10. “Torn Between Two Lovers” Mary MacGregor

Conclusions: ‘Soft’ seems to be the word of the day here, with Whitney and Thelma becoming the only Aunt-Niece combo to hit the chars, while Mary, Alan, and Hot hitting the charts only once with these songs. Sadly Whitney, and Alan passing on.
