Where To Watch
These were the No. 1 songs on Halloween in the 1970s. Do you know who sang them?
Was "You Light Up My Life" about a Jack-o'-lantern?
There were some great, groovy songs that reached the top of the charts in the 1970s. Everything from glam to soul to country to jazz went to No. 1.
The following ten songs all went to No. 1. In fact, these were the biggest songs in America on Halloween for every year of the Seventies!
None of them were about the holiday, specifically, though some were about "Blood" and "Midnight." And maybe "You Light Up My Life" was written for a Jack-o'-lantern?
See if you remember who sang all of these songs!
-
1970: "I'll Be There"
-
1971: "Maggie May"

"My Ding-A-Ling"

1973: "Midnight Train to Georgia"

A Definitely Boone!! Neil Sedaka -- in collaboration with Elton John -- did record "Bad Blood" in October 1975. That tune will be useful for playing on the radio or even on You Tube. "Who Loves You?" from Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons was played in early November 1975. May The 1970's Be With You!! Play On!!

Yep, and it's also what you call a checker when you play backgammon!
A seed.

LOL! Millennials.
On Star Trek they denote rank.
Would have been more difficult if they hadn't put the artists' picture with the song title.
9/10 I don't know Nick Gilder, but I knew it wasn't Andy Gibb.
9/10/. I missed #10 too.
You should check it out on Youtube. Definite not a "Tijuana Brass" song.
You got 6 out of 10
I'll take it considering I only knew about 1/2 LOL

10/10, that was unexpected — while I remembered many, a number were guesses, usually after eliminating the one I knew it wasn’t.
Calculatus Eliminatus is the best friend that you've got.
10/10. but I do not remember the song 'Rise'.
Me neither. I'm going to have to YouTube it.
It was an instrumental - no vocals.
Do. It's a pretty good song, definitely NOT "Tijuana Brass".
