Thanks Kabir, just realized how effing old I am. Brings me joy to have introduced this music to my grandchildren who are now fans, but sadness to remember how many of these lovely musicians are no longer with us.
I graduated in 1977, and in my era in our school district we started high school in 10th grade, for me that was 74. We also had juke boxes playing in the cafeteria so my sophomore year lunch time memories are all about BTO and Lynard Skynard and Eric Clapton.
Me too! During that era: no school dress code, students could smoke (in designated areas) which meant zillions of joints were fired up between classes. Before and after school surfing. 😊
@@raylewis2121 I honestly didn't even go near the spot, but there was a place around the back side of our school, which was on top of a big hill/small mountain and in the woods where the pot heads went for lunch. The school actually extended out over this area (as i understand it) and that pod smelled of weed all the time. (They called me Miss Perfect back then. I still have never done any kind of "substance," even including alcohol. I'm the child of two alcoholics - need I say more?)
Your spontaneous reaction to Cher was priceless... both for the reaction... and then your realization of what you had just said! But yeah, Cher was big over 50 years ago - it is a little mind boggling!
I was born in 55. Our house since 62 had an intercom with speakers in every room and we constantly played music. In Sep 69 I started high school so everything on this play list takes me from a freshmen, through college and into my service in the Navy.
Oh man my house had an intercom system and we were poor as dirt. I think my dad got it at Radio Shack and installed it himself. I forgot how common those used to be before they all suddenly disappeared, sort of like those plastic beads everyone used to hang in the doorway of their bedroom.
I feel lucky to have experienced my teenage years throughout the 70's. I think it had such a wide variety of musical styles and influences. It gave me such an appreciation of music.
I was born in 1971, but my sisters were teens when I was born. So, I grew up listening to 70s music. I was loving all those songs. You should really listen to the full song "My Ding-A-Ling" by Chuck Berry. It is hilarious! And yes, you heard the lyrics correctly when that song came up.
Oh god, my brother and I found that in my mother's record collection when we were younger in the early 90's and listened to it CONSTANTLY just cracking the hell up.
I was a teenager during the 70s and we spent every Fri and Sat either at the skating ring or the movies with friends. We liked the drive in movies. Always with lots of fun. Sometimes we went to dance clubs. The had some clubs that didn't serve alcohol and catered to teens. It was a great childhood I had.
Boy did that bring back memories. I was in high school in the early seventies. That music just makes you want to dance. It was great. Watching this you just wanted to hear all the songs in their entirety. Thank you Kabir. That was fun. ❤ (It’s funny how many seniors you have subscribed to your channel. That says something).
I was born in 1981, but I grew up listening to music from the 60s and 70s, because that's what my parents listened to, so I love the music from that era. I remember being in high school in the 90s and being the only one of my friends who liked listening to The Beatles,The Rolling Stones, and so many other popular bands and musicians of that time. I knew almost every song in that video, only a few I wasn't familiar with. I just wish each clip was longer.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I started the ‘70’s at 11 and ended up 21, so really experienced it all through high school and most of college. Does my heart good to see people from the younger generations enjoy this music.
Me too. I was 11 in 1970 and just starting getting nostalgic in the last year with all the great music we grew up with. I loved the 1970's and 1980s. Hello from Germany 🙋♀️
I was born in the 70s, and as I was listening to it I realized two things: 1) I recognize every single song on this list, even though I haven't heard a lot of it in decades, and 2) every single bit of it was good. I consider 1994 to be the best year for music for my generation, but every year of the 70s was the best year for music.
I was born in 66 Kabir and I had amazing parents that introduced me to amazing music in my home. My dad was the rock and roller and my mom was the Motown goddess and music was always playing in the background. I still listen to this timeless music today and am introducing it to my grandkids now because it's so good! You really do need to go through this list and add them to your Playlist and these are just the top monthly ones can you imagine what wasn't played? Glad you enjoyed it but you should check out the 80s monthly one I'm sure you will know more of them!
I was 7 in 70 , so spent all that decade growing up into an adult. Absolutely Love to he music from that time. I’d say 1/2 of the music saved to my phone is from that decade. This brought back so many memories ❤. Awesome reaction and great chair dancing.
I was born in 66 and there were only 3 songs I didn't remember but if I heard the whole song I probably would know them. My all time favorite song was in the list...Terry Jacks "Seasons in the Sun", I have loved that song since I was a little girl.
3:16 my Grandmother was on a plane with Janis Joplin ( seated next to her) as they talked my Grandmother learned Janis was a singer. She said “ oh? My son is in a band” ( my Dad was in a drummer in high school/college ) . Anyway , Janis Joplin signed an autograph to my Dad on an Airplane napkin.
Wow. Great reaction. These were my high school and college days. Driving around in my 1966 blue Plymouth Fury with a black vinyl top -- blasting these songs on the car radio. Great memories.
I graduated high school in 77 and the musical influences were from everywhere and all genres. The end of the hippie era, the British Invasion that never ended, disco, country, hard rock, soft rock, pop, Motown, etc... It was fabulous!
Oh yeah Kabir, thanks so much, that was awesome and a great blast from my past. I'm 71 and all that fun, times is catching up with me. Best of my life for sure. California and fast motorcycle. Purrrfect. 😎🖖🌞
I was born in 1966, and while I don't remember paying any attention to pop music until I was about 12 or 13 at the very end of this decade, the music must have just been in the air while I was growing up, because I recognized each and every one of these songs. I thought surely I'd not recognize all of them, but I did. Amazing.
Enjoyed your reaction. I turned sixteen in 1970 so this was the music that was my high school and college soundtrack. I suggest you do the second most popular each month from the 70s
Another great job. Ha! Those side burns were actually called Mutton Chops. Funny in high school we weren't allowed to have beards so, we grew those and the loophole was that as long as they weren't connected on your chin, we got away with it!!!! Ah teens, always the Rebels 😅
I didn't know that the #1 song for May of '73 was Elton John's "Daniel". I was born on the 8th of May. I was supposed to be born in July, but shit went sideways and they had to get me out. But I think that's pretty cool that it was number one the month that I was born, being a Daniel myself...😁
I was born in 57 & graduated in 75, and have always felt I lived in a golden decade of music, privileged with a lot of new and great talent showcasing and promoting better diversity, new and exciting music and equipment, all the way through from start to finish. Even those who scoff at Disco have to admit it allowed for some newly permissible and beautiful music styles which finally allowed dancers to show their talent and skills, which, let’s face it, the 60’s & hard metal moments didn’t have much good music to dance to. Throughout the 70’s I enjoyed every last bit of it, and a shout out to all those many who broke through inhumane treatment and degradation in order for the likes of today’s evolution, still fighting, and still loving.
Kabir, didn't realise you were a 70s kid deep down! Great reaction. And yes, there was so much good music back then. I was born in that decade so didn't really experience it fully first time around, but I grew up with them as recent past hits and they've matured as classics as I've aged. You're right that so many of those tracks are really iconic and are real feelgood numbers. Looking forward to your reaction to the 80s, which was my teen years.
You did very well, Kabir - at least 45%, I'd say. It did bother me that you weren't familiar with Simon & Garfunkel. You OWE IT to yourself to listen to some of their stuff! "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "The Boxer", "The Sound of Silence", "Scarborough Fair", just to name a few. They were SO influential to everything we've enjoyed since!!
Born in 1957. Got to experience mid to late fifties music thanks to my parents' seriously eclectic record collection, grew up with 60's music as a gradeschooler, 70s music as a teenager, 80's music in my twenties and 90's music in my thirties. I consider myself very lucky, indeed.
Hello 👋 Another awesome video, 👍👍 In my opinion (born ‘72), music from the ’50’s, ‘60’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s, were the absolute best when it came to true musical masters, the ‘20’s, ‘30’s, ‘40’s and ‘90’s had some pretty awesome ones, then from 2000 on, there are some really good ones, but it kinda went down hill, the last few of years I have been seeing it starting to rise, finally, I just hope it keeps going up, 👍😀 RIP to all the Masters gone to soon, 😪 Have a safe a wonderful holiday season, 👋🙂👋
Random story: I was in St. Thomas for work in 2006 and ate at the Hard Rock Cafe. The Knack were playing that night there. One of my coworkers went over to talk to them after the gig and they invited us to go to this bar/lounge with them. The lead singer, Doug was battling cancer yet nobody knew. He told us about it that night. They were all great. I was sad to hear if his passing a few years later.
Most of these songs I never heard of. When my military husband brought me to America, he introduced me to classic country western music. I'm now a big fan of country music. Sure, I like other kind of music too, but none of these you just played. Never been a fan of the Beetles. First country song I heard was, He stopped loving her today. Didn't understand the words, but George Jones voice touched me deeply and made me cry. Now I understand the words and I cry every time I hear that song. He is gone now, but I have many of his songs on my play list. George Strait is my second favorite and Alan Jackson. Don't care much for the newer country music. It's mostly Rock and Roll now. We have a few good once left, but soon we will loose them too. But the old classic country music will never die. There are to many country fans out there that like to listen to those songs. Long live country. I will be a fan till I die.
I grew up listening to the 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's. My dad was born in the early 50's so I grew up listening to golden oldies, then disco, and classic rock. It was just a fun time growing up and at times I wish I could go back to those summers as a kid in the early 90's. I was born in the early 80's and growing up listening to music all of the time. There was always a radio on or tv while my dad would be working outside on cars almost 95% of the time. Me and my younger sister would play outside in the grass with our cars and trucks and cats, while my dad would be working on cars. Music was such a huge part of my childhood so listening to any of these old classic tunes just brings me back to a simpler, happier time in my life.
Omg the memories are flooding back. I moved from England in 1972 as a just turned 14 year old and all these songs are absolutely here in my memories. The Carpenters were my favorite group and i was so devastated when Karen passed away. Great memories though.
WOW so many memories and the fun I had in the 70s. Both my children were born in the 70s. My son in 76 and my daughter in 78. Talk about a great era where the music was epic, Going to the discos to dance until 5 in the morning. After dancing at the military base at the NCO club until 2am then going to a club off base. So many foreign students from 5 or 6 different countries, and so handsome. Memories are all I have, but good memories. Of course I have my grown up children and 6 grandchildren now.
My favorite decade. Fell in love, married and had my first 2 children and First house. And me at my physical best. Now I'm 72, indeed I just turned 72 37 minutes ago! I loved this, your reaction, and there were only 8 songs I didn't know. Thanks for the memory ride.
This is so cool! I was born in 1971 so I was raised listening to all of this music! Guess I'm a little old now... I remember hearing these songs on the radio! 😂
I started the 70's as a 8 year old and ended it as an 18 year old. And now I'm approaching my 62nd birthday this coming Thursday. Oh, what memories these songs brought back!
ohhhh the emotional memories. Discotheques, bell bottom pants, wide pointy open top shirts,!platform shoes fitting under the bell bottoms, shag hair cut, roller skating, banana seat bicycles, midriff tops tied up. Can you tell when I was young? some of the songs were over played on the radio and I would hear the same song several times a day. I like today's music quite a bit.
Please do all the decades! the next 80's and 90's videos have some BANGERS. When you're done with the most popular i think this same creator made the same videos but for the 2nd best song. Only feels right to do those when you're done with the top hits!
Okay so near the beginning of this video you heard the group say I think I love you which was The Partridge family the lead singer is David Cassidy that's the dude I've been talking about
Hello young Master Kabir. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed watching you react to this video. You see, I grew up in the 60's and became a man in 70's. I remember all of those hits. Quite a few of them, were so called one hit wonders though. It makes me VERY happy when I see younger generations truly appreciating the exquisite music made in the 60's and 70's. Oh, btw, I was born in 1958. Been around the block a few times. ;) Now you take care and stay safe, and I'll subscribe as soon as I've hit the blue Comment button. :D
You will not regret subbing with Kabir Steen. Even my hubby is hooked to his channel and he's got something for everyone. btw: We are "up there" in that age bracket too.
Oh wow! What memories! I was born in December of 71 so I remember many, most of these songs. I grew up in two really great decades for music ... the 70s and 80s! And yes I watched your reaction to the 80s music and it was great! Like you said though, just when you get singing, etc. they switch to the next song! Loved hearing these "oldies"!
Night Fever was the most popular song when I was born. Damn back then, the 80s and 90s had incredible music. People could actually sing and play instruments. It was about the music not how “artists” are now.
Even though this was before my time, the music of this era just has a different feel because it consisted of natural voices being accompanied by actual musical instruments. It just felt so......human.
I'm 71 years old and I love Music from all the Decades but for me I'll take the 80's First and the 60's a very close 2nd. I was stationed in England '77 to the end of '86. It had the Best Dance Music the London Clubs were the Incredible and the Punk and New Wave were beyond Brilliant! You never had a wider range of Music than '77 to '89!
This is the soundtrack of my coming of age. I started high school in 1970 and graduated college in 1979. I was neither a kid nor an adult and I listened to music all the time.
I was in my 20s during the 70/80s. The music was truly awesome. I still have my little cassettes of a lot of these songs. I still listen to the "oldies" station on my car radio. Loved this video and your reaction to the songs..
That was a lot of fun, Kabir!! I was born in ‘71, so I was pretty young when a lot of these came out, but my parents were always listening to music in our home, so I still heard the vast majority of these during those times! 💁🏻♀️
Born in March of 1970. The only songs I never knew or don't remember are: July 1971 -- "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" by Middle of the Road June 1972 -- "Vincent" by Don McLean February 1975 -- "Please Mr. Postman" by The Carpenters (I know the song but not their version.) April 1975 -- "Bye Bye Baby" by Bay City Rollers October 1975 -- "Sailing" by Rod Stewart April 1976 -- "Save Your Kisses for Me" by Brotherhood of Man October 1976 -- "Mississippi" by Pussycat November 1976 -- "Daddy Cool" by Boney M. December 1976 -- "Money, Money, Money" by ABBA April 1977 -- "Don't Give Up on Us" by David Soul June 1977 -- "Ma Baker" by Boney M. July 1977 -- "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" by Baccara September 1977 -- "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer November 1977 -- "The Name of the Game" by ABBA December 1977 -- "Mull of Kintyre" by Wings May 1978 -- "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush June 1978 -- "Rivers of Babylon" by Boney M.
I think there were only about five I didn’t know. Thanks for this trip down memory lane. I was in my twenties in the seventies. Now I’m in my seventies in the twenties. I moved to Miami and went to discos for a few years. Lots of fun. Oh we had the best music!!!
Bro. Growing up on the Pacific islands with a record player. We were rocking with ABBA, Beatles, Bee Gees, Elvis, Boney M and many more who I couldn’t name. The era of the Hipsters and Funk Music…… Love it a lot. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Oooh Kabir! If you do find a play list of this will you please share? Unlikely that you could react to this in their entirety, but I would love to down load it! This decade was so emotionally turbulent and life changing for me. 99% I do recognize and most do have significant meaning to me. I'm so glad you found this enjoyable. Especially pleased that you know sooo many of these songs. I enjoyed your reaction (again ;-) . Thank you 🤗
Graduated from high school in '71 then on to college. So I came of age with this music. My favorites were the singer-songwriters...Carol King, Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell.
Oh, this was FUN! I was born in 1973, but I know just about all of these songs. Amazing. And what awesome songs they are! I'm with you.... I wanna make a playlist on Spotify of these songs right now!
Great reaction Kabir! I was born in 77, a child in the 80s and teen in the 90s. However my Mom played all kinds of music from the 50s, 60s,70s and then current. You should really check out Andy Gibb Shadow Dancing, he was the younger brother of the Bee Gee's. Barry wrote and produced much of his music. 🎶❤
So many great artists as well as a lot of one hit wonders. Something for everyone. Everything from rock, country, easy listening, disco and r&b.. I can't believe Convoy was the number one in Feb76. Convoy was also trucker movie around the sometime.
Great reaction! I think the closest thing you can get to being transported to the 70s is probably Terry Gillam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It's a visual and sensory masterpiece about the 70s, drugs, and the death of the American Dream, based on the book by Hunter S. Thompson. Also, you may need to check out some Simon and Garfunkel. Looking forward to more because, even though I'm a late 70s baby who loved this, I enjoyed the 60s, 80s, and 90s ones even more!
Born in 71, thank you so much fIgor te flash back. You don't know how some of the songs from this time really help me be happy through allot of hard times growing up. When you had a song come up, "Oh what a night" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I hope you do more of these.
What amazes me is the sheer variety in what became popular from one month to the next. One month it's Bachman Turner Overdrive, then the next it's John Denver, then Kung fu Fighting, or the Rolling Stones. Big difference between then and now. People were more open-minded musically back then I think. It also helped that actual "Musicians" were writing in performing in a lot of cases.
You can really hear the change around 1975 when disco took off. The Beatles broke up in 1970, so this wasn't their decade. But Paul McCartney had some in this list, and John Lennon was in there with Imagine. Some of the songs were movie themes, like Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head by B.J. Thomas (for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid),The Morning After by Maureen McGovern (for The Poseidon Adventure), and The Way We Were by Barbra Streisand (for the movie of the same name). Some of them were covers, like I Shot the Sheriff by Eric Clapton (originally by Bob Marley and the Wailers), Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by Elton John (originally by The Beatles), and Please Mr. Postman by The Carpenters (originally by the Marvelettes). George Harrison was sued for plagiarism for the song My Sweet Lord. It'd very similar to He's So Fine (written by Ronnie Mack and recorded by The Chiffons). Harrison lost, and had to pay almost $1.6 million. Folksinger Ewan McColl wrote The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face for Peggy Seeger, whom he was in love with. He said he hated every recorded version of it except for Seeger's, including Roberta Flack's. I don't get it. To me, Roberta Flack's performance is perfect, perhaps the most romantic recording ever made.
I loved this video!!!!!!!!!!! I was born in 65. I loved every bit of this. Everything now adays, is autotuned and not real. I want a play list of these songs. (I nearly cried when I saw Jim Croce.} Talk about a life cut short. Thanks Kabir!!!!!
Thanks Kabir, just realized how effing old I am. Brings me joy to have introduced this music to my grandchildren who are now fans, but sadness to remember how many of these lovely musicians are no longer with us.
That is what I was thinking.. so sad we are losing artists of real music.
Man I'm with you it makes me feel old
I'm with you guys. Dang. Our music was the best.
😂 Me too!
Age is just a number. It's how you relate and feel that matters.
The 70's was the greatest decade for music.
Nah! .... Over All the 80's!
I was in high school from 70 to 74. What a time to be alive, what a time for music
I graduated in 1977, and in my era in our school district we started high school in 10th grade, for me that was 74. We also had juke boxes playing in the cafeteria so my sophomore year lunch time memories are all about BTO and Lynard Skynard and Eric Clapton.

1975 graduate here, I only missed a few songs.
I graduated high school in 74’ …. What a great time to be alive. Great music, parties & friends.
I grew up in the 70s. Real music. Real Talent. No digital manipulation. You got it or you don't.
Your spontaneous reaction to Cher was priceless... both for the reaction... and then your realization of what you had just said! But yeah, Cher was big over 50 years ago - it is a little mind boggling!
I was born in 55. Our house since 62 had an intercom with speakers in every room and we constantly played music. In Sep 69 I started high school so everything on this play list takes me from a freshmen, through college and into my service in the Navy.
The songs I .missed out on I was born in 78 only baby
Glad I grew up in the 80s new wave music
Oh, yeah, 1955 here also. Beginning of 1970 I was a freshman in HS, December 1979 I was a college grad, married, and newly pregnant with #1.
Oh man my house had an intercom system and we were poor as dirt. I think my dad got it at Radio Shack and installed it himself. I forgot how common those used to be before they all suddenly disappeared, sort of like those plastic beads everyone used to hang in the doorway of their bedroom.
I grew up in the 70s and it was great being a kid a teenager.
I feel lucky to have experienced my teenage years throughout the 70's. I think it had such a wide variety of musical styles and influences. It gave me such an appreciation of music.

I so much remember giggling throughout Chuck Berry’s, My Ding A Ling l😮😊. Say whhhaaatt? Ok, you just made me do it again. Thanks Kabir. :).
Oh god, my brother and I found that in my mother's record collection when we were younger in the early 90's and listened to it CONSTANTLY just cracking the hell up.
I was a teenager during the 70s and we spent every Fri and Sat either at the skating ring or the movies with friends. We liked the drive in movies. Always with lots of fun. Sometimes we went to dance clubs. The had some clubs that didn't serve alcohol and catered to teens. It was a great childhood I had.
"My Ding-a-ling" was a true gem.

I'm a 90s kid and I much prefer this music over stuff nowadays.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I started the ‘70’s at 11 and ended up 21, so really experienced it all through high school and most of college. Does my heart good to see people from the younger generations enjoy this music.
Same as I, Linda 🙂
Me too. I was 11 in 1970 and just starting getting nostalgic in the last year with all the great music we grew up with. I loved the 1970's and 1980s.
Hello from Germany 🙋♀️
I was born in the 70s, and as I was listening to it I realized two things: 1) I recognize every single song on this list, even though I haven't heard a lot of it in decades, and 2) every single bit of it was good. I consider 1994 to be the best year for music for my generation, but every year of the 70s was the best year for music.
You would enjoy watching the TV show The Midnight Special from the 70's.
the 80s one is nothing but fire the entire time. what a decade.
I was born in 66 Kabir and I had amazing parents that introduced me to amazing music in my home. My dad was the rock and roller and my mom was the Motown goddess and music was always playing in the background. I still listen to this timeless music today and am introducing it to my grandkids now because it's so good! You really do need to go through this list and add them to your Playlist and these are just the top monthly ones can you imagine what wasn't played?

I graduated in '71' and appreciate all this music. I still say we had the best in the 60's and 70's!!!!!!!
I graduated high school in 73 so this is the soundtrack of my young life. I only didn't know one. The music was fire! Thanks for the memories.
I was born in 66 and there were only 3 songs I didn't remember but if I heard the whole song I probably would know them. My all time favorite song was in the list...Terry Jacks "Seasons in the Sun", I have loved that song since I was a little girl.
My top favorite song and I'm 19, I love that song so much, definitely in my top 5
3:16 my Grandmother was on a plane with Janis Joplin ( seated next to her) as they talked my Grandmother learned Janis was a singer. She said “ oh? My son is in a band” ( my Dad was in a drummer in high school/college ) . Anyway , Janis Joplin signed an autograph to my Dad on an Airplane napkin.
Wow. Great reaction. These were my high school and college days. Driving around in my 1966 blue Plymouth Fury with a black vinyl top -- blasting these songs on the car radio. Great memories.
I had a 66 Plymouth Satellite! Wow I miss that car!
Love this!I was a child in the 70s and a teen in the 80s! The BEST music and so much fun!
I graduated high school in 77 and the musical influences were from everywhere and all genres. The end of the hippie era, the British Invasion that never ended, disco, country, hard rock, soft rock, pop, Motown, etc... It was fabulous!
Oh yeah Kabir, thanks so much, that was awesome and a great blast from my past. I'm 71 and all that fun, times is catching up with me. Best of my life for sure. California and fast motorcycle. Purrrfect. 😎🖖🌞

Another great job. Ha! Those side burns were actually called Mutton Chops. Funny in high school we weren't allowed to have beards so, we grew those and the loophole was that as long as they weren't connected on your chin, we got away with it!!!! Ah teens, always the Rebels 😅
I was born in 1959 and the music of the 60's, 70's and 80's was just the best. Great time to grow up.
I didn't know that the #1 song for May of '73 was Elton John's "Daniel". I was born on the 8th of May. I was supposed to be born in July, but shit went sideways and they had to get me out. But I think that's pretty cool that it was number one the month that I was born, being a Daniel myself...😁
I was born in 57 & graduated in 75, and have always felt I lived in a golden decade of music, privileged with a lot of new and great talent showcasing and promoting better diversity, new and exciting music and equipment, all the way through from start to finish. Even those who scoff at Disco have to admit it allowed for some newly permissible and beautiful music styles which finally allowed dancers to show their talent and skills, which, let’s face it, the 60’s & hard metal moments didn’t have much good music to dance to. Throughout the 70’s I enjoyed every last bit of it, and a shout out to all those many who broke through inhumane treatment and degradation in order for the likes of today’s evolution, still fighting, and still loving.
I was born in 1967 and a lot of these songs bring back so many childhood memories.👍
Kabir, didn't realise you were a 70s kid deep down! Great reaction. And yes, there was so much good music back then. I was born in that decade so didn't really experience it fully first time around, but I grew up with them as recent past hits and they've matured as classics as I've aged. You're right that so many of those tracks are really iconic and are real feelgood numbers. Looking forward to your reaction to the 80s, which was my teen years.
You did very well, Kabir - at least 45%, I'd say. It did bother me that you weren't familiar with Simon & Garfunkel. You OWE IT to yourself to listen to some of their stuff! "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "The Boxer", "The Sound of Silence", "Scarborough Fair", just to name a few. They were SO influential to everything we've enjoyed since!!
@KabirConsiders Absolutely, Diana!
Born in 1957. Got to experience mid to late fifties music thanks to my parents' seriously eclectic record collection, grew up with 60's music as a gradeschooler, 70s music as a teenager, 80's music in my twenties and 90's music in my thirties. I consider myself very lucky, indeed.
Hello 👋
Another awesome video, 👍👍
In my opinion (born ‘72), music from the ’50’s, ‘60’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s, were the absolute best when it came to true musical masters, the ‘20’s, ‘30’s, ‘40’s and ‘90’s had some pretty awesome ones, then from 2000 on, there are some really good ones, but it kinda went down hill, the last few of years I have been seeing it starting to rise, finally, I just hope it keeps going up, 👍😀
RIP to all the Masters gone to soon, 😪
Have a safe a wonderful holiday season, 👋🙂👋
Staying alive is my ringtone on my phone so nothing else to say ❤
Random story: I was in St. Thomas for work in 2006 and ate at the Hard Rock Cafe. The Knack were playing that night there. One of my coworkers went over to talk to them after the gig and they invited us to go to this bar/lounge with them. The lead singer, Doug was battling cancer yet nobody knew. He told us about it that night. They were all great. I was sad to hear if his passing a few years later.
I lived in SoCal at this time and was a teenager. The beaches, the cruising, the parties, the freedom. Amazing!
Born in 80 and thank my mom for exposing me to such incredible music as a kid!
I started the 70’s at age 20, so it truly was my husband’s and my music. So many memories!
Oh man, that was so great! Born in 64 so I grew up on these songs. Brings back so many great memories ❤
Most of these songs I never heard of. When my military husband brought me to America, he introduced me to classic country western music. I'm now a big fan of country music. Sure, I like other kind of music too, but none of these you just played. Never been a fan of the Beetles. First country song I heard was, He stopped loving her today. Didn't understand the words, but George Jones voice touched me deeply and made me cry. Now I understand the words and I cry every time I hear that song. He is gone now, but I have many of his songs on my play list. George Strait is my second favorite and Alan Jackson. Don't care much for the newer country music. It's mostly Rock and Roll now. We have a few good once left, but soon we will loose them too. But the old classic country music will never die. There are to many country fans out there that like to listen to those songs. Long live country. I will be a fan till I die.
"Beatles" not Beetles.
I grew up listening to the 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's. My dad was born in the early 50's so I grew up listening to golden oldies, then disco, and classic rock. It was just a fun time growing up and at times I wish I could go back to those summers as a kid in the early 90's. I was born in the early 80's and growing up listening to music all of the time. There was always a radio on or tv while my dad would be working outside on cars almost 95% of the time. Me and my younger sister would play outside in the grass with our cars and trucks and cats, while my dad would be working on cars. Music was such a huge part of my childhood so listening to any of these old classic tunes just brings me back to a simpler, happier time in my life.
Omg the memories are flooding back. I moved from England in 1972 as a just turned 14 year old and all these songs are absolutely here in my memories. The Carpenters were my favorite group and i was so devastated when Karen passed away. Great memories though.
WOW so many memories and the fun I had in the 70s. Both my children were born in the 70s. My son in 76 and my daughter in 78. Talk about a great era where the music was epic, Going to the discos to dance until 5 in the morning. After dancing at the military base at the NCO club until 2am then going to a club off base. So many foreign students from 5 or 6 different countries, and so handsome. Memories are all I have, but good memories. Of course I have my grown up children and 6 grandchildren now.
Hope he does the 2nd most popular songs from the 70s. There a lot of big hits on the list.
My favorite decade. Fell in love, married and had my first 2 children and First house. And me at my physical best. Now I'm 72, indeed I just turned 72 37 minutes ago! I loved this, your reaction, and there were only 8 songs I didn't know. Thanks for the memory ride.
This is so cool! I was born in 1971 so I was raised listening to all of this music! Guess I'm a little old now... I remember hearing these songs on the radio! 😂
My great grandmother was a Sunday school teacher in rural Indiana back then. She ended every class with everyone singing Joy to the World. Cool lady.
Music in the 70's was awesome so glad l lived through those years, They bring back cherished memories for me!
Great reaction as always!
I was born in 71 and they were a great time in music history.
The music of the last 60's and the 70's was amazing.
All of these songs brings back memories as I was born in 1970. So growing up in the 70's was a great time for different types of music
I started the 70's as a 8 year old and ended it as an 18 year old. And now I'm approaching my 62nd birthday this coming Thursday. Oh, what memories these songs brought back!
Howdy from Texas.
I grew up in the Sixties and Seventies. I remember all these songs. Back when music was real.
ohhhh the emotional memories. Discotheques, bell bottom pants, wide pointy open top shirts,!platform shoes fitting under the bell bottoms, shag hair cut, roller skating, banana seat bicycles, midriff tops tied up. Can you tell when I was young? some of the songs were over played on the radio and I would hear the same song several times a day. I like today's music quite a bit.
Please do all the decades! the next 80's and 90's videos have some BANGERS. When you're done with the most popular i think this same creator made the same videos but for the 2nd best song. Only feels right to do those when you're done with the top hits!
Wow I was born in 72 didn't know in July Lean on me was #1. I literally went threw so many emotion listening to all of these songs.
Okay so near the beginning of this video you heard the group say I think I love you which was The Partridge family the lead singer is David Cassidy that's the dude I've been talking about
Hello young Master Kabir. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed watching you react to this video. You see, I grew up in the 60's and became a man in 70's. I remember all of those hits. Quite a few of them, were so called one hit wonders though. It makes me VERY happy when I see younger generations truly appreciating the exquisite music made in the 60's and 70's. Oh, btw, I was born in 1958. Been around the block a few times. ;) Now you take care and stay safe, and I'll subscribe as soon as I've hit the blue Comment button. :D
You will not regret subbing with Kabir Steen. Even my hubby is hooked to his channel and he's got something for everyone. btw: We are "up there" in that age bracket too.
Excellent! From someone who graduated HS in 1970! I was there for it alll...Beatles on Ed Sullivan when I was 12!
Oh wow! What memories! I was born in December of 71 so I remember many, most of these songs. I grew up in two really great decades for music ... the 70s and 80s! And yes I watched your reaction to the 80s music and it was great! Like you said though, just when you get singing, etc. they switch to the next song! Loved hearing these "oldies"!
Night Fever was the most popular song when I was born. Damn back then, the 80s and 90s had incredible music. People could actually sing and play instruments. It was about the music not how “artists” are now.
Even though this was before my time, the music of this era just has a different feel because it consisted of natural voices being accompanied by actual musical instruments. It just felt so......human.
This music is absolutely timeless, great reaction!
Yeah, the 70' were a wonderful time to be young! This list really nails it!
I'm 71 years old and I love Music from all the Decades but for me I'll take the 80's First and the 60's a very close 2nd. I was stationed in England '77 to the end of '86. It had the Best Dance Music the London Clubs were the Incredible and the Punk and New Wave were beyond Brilliant! You never had a wider range of Music than '77 to '89!
This is the soundtrack of my coming of age. I started high school in 1970 and graduated college in 1979. I was neither a kid nor an adult and I listened to music all the time.
I was in my 20s during the 70/80s. The music was truly awesome. I still have my little cassettes of a lot of these songs. I still listen to the "oldies" station on my car radio. Loved this video and your reaction to the songs..
I grew up to this music, best times ever! Boy you sure made me feel old! But I'd go back in a heartbeat!
Find a compilation like this from the 80s and you'll see a decade that was fun and we'll never see ever again
That was a lot of fun, Kabir!! I was born in ‘71, so I was pretty young when a lot of these came out, but my parents were always listening to music in our home, so I still heard the vast majority of these during those times! 💁🏻♀️
70's were the shit. Wish we could go back lol
Sooo many memories... but reminds me how old I am now... 60, turning 61 in April. ❤❤

I think there were only about five I didn’t know. Thanks for this trip down memory lane. I was in my twenties in the seventies. Now I’m in my seventies in the twenties.
I moved to Miami and went to discos for a few years. Lots of fun. Oh we had the best music!!!
Bro. Growing up on the Pacific islands with a record player. We were rocking with ABBA, Beatles, Bee Gees, Elvis, Boney M and many more who I couldn’t name.
The era of the Hipsters and Funk Music…… Love it a lot. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Oooh Kabir! If you do find a play list of this will you please share? Unlikely that you could react to this in their entirety, but I would love to down load it! This decade was so emotionally turbulent and life changing for me. 99% I do recognize and most do have significant meaning to me. I'm so glad you found this enjoyable. Especially pleased that you know sooo many of these songs. I enjoyed your reaction (again ;-) . Thank you 🤗
brings back alot of memories. I was a teenager through the 70's and you are correct - the music was amazing
November 1976 Daddy Cool. Yes Kabir get that entire song. It’s great! 1970’s were my teenage years. Thanks for posting this one!
So many memories. Overload my brain. When I was your age I didn't know songs from 50 years prior. Maybe one or two
Graduated from high school in '71 then on to college. So I came of age with this music. My favorites were the singer-songwriters...Carol King, Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell.
Oh, this was FUN! I was born in 1973, but I know just about all of these songs. Amazing. And what awesome songs they are!
I'm with you.... I wanna make a playlist on Spotify of these songs right now!
Aside from disco, the 70's were the best. My formative years. You'd love it back then.
I was born in 1975, but I know every one of these songs! Great music!
Great reaction Kabir! I was born in 77, a child in the 80s and teen in the 90s. However my Mom played all kinds of music from the 50s, 60s,70s and then current. You should really check out Andy Gibb Shadow Dancing, he was the younger brother of the Bee Gee's. Barry wrote and produced much of his music. 🎶❤
So many great artists as well as a lot of one hit wonders. Something for everyone. Everything from rock, country, easy listening, disco and r&b.. I can't believe Convoy was the number one in Feb76. Convoy was also trucker movie around the sometime.
Great reaction! I think the closest thing you can get to being transported to the 70s is probably Terry Gillam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It's a visual and sensory masterpiece about the 70s, drugs, and the death of the American Dream, based on the book by Hunter S. Thompson. Also, you may need to check out some Simon and Garfunkel. Looking forward to more because, even though I'm a late 70s baby who loved this, I enjoyed the 60s, 80s, and 90s ones even more!
Born in 1965 Dancing to the music with you!!
Best decade of music EVER! Born in 1962 and was a teen in the 70’s. The best of times!!!!
Born in 71, thank you so much fIgor te flash back. You don't know how some of the songs from this time really help me be happy through allot of hard times growing up. When you had a song come up, "Oh what a night" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I hope you do more of these.
It's amazing how many of these were one hit wonders.
What amazes me is the sheer variety in what became popular from one month to the next. One month it's Bachman Turner Overdrive, then the next it's John Denver, then Kung fu Fighting, or the Rolling Stones. Big difference between then and now. People were more open-minded musically back then I think. It also helped that actual "Musicians" were writing in performing in a lot of cases.
Thanks for the blast from the past. I graduated High School and started Uni in 1977. There were only 2 songs I didn't know.
Born in the 50s these are the coming of age songs for me. Thanks for the memories
You can really hear the change around 1975 when disco took off.
The Beatles broke up in 1970, so this wasn't their decade. But Paul McCartney had some in this list, and John Lennon was in there with Imagine.
Some of the songs were movie themes, like Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head by B.J. Thomas (for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid),The Morning After by Maureen McGovern (for The Poseidon Adventure), and The Way We Were by Barbra Streisand (for the movie of the same name).
Some of them were covers, like I Shot the Sheriff by Eric Clapton (originally by Bob Marley and the Wailers), Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by Elton John (originally by The Beatles), and Please Mr. Postman by The Carpenters (originally by the Marvelettes).
George Harrison was sued for plagiarism for the song My Sweet Lord. It'd very similar to He's So Fine (written by Ronnie Mack and recorded by The Chiffons). Harrison lost, and had to pay almost $1.6 million.
Folksinger Ewan McColl wrote The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face for Peggy Seeger, whom he was in love with. He said he hated every recorded version of it except for Seeger's, including Roberta Flack's. I don't get it. To me, Roberta Flack's performance is perfect, perhaps the most romantic recording ever made.
I loved this video!!!!!!!!!!! I was born in 65. I loved every bit of this. Everything now adays, is autotuned and not real. I want a play list of these songs. (I nearly cried when I saw Jim Croce.} Talk about a life cut short. Thanks Kabir!!!!!
The best decade for music! Great being a teenager then.
