Super Hits Of The '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 17 by Various Artists

Description: Performer Notes: Audio Remasterers: Ken Perry; Bill Inglot.Liner Note Author: Paul Grein.Recording information: 08/1971-03/1976.Photographer: Ed Colver.This mid-'70s volume (covering material primarily dating from 1974 through 1976) has a distinctly soft country-rock tone, characterized by Ian Thomas's "Painted Ladies" and King Harvest's timeless "Dancing in the Moonlight," broken by pop/rock successes such as "(I Don't Want to Love You But) You Got Me Anyway" by the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver and Danny O'Keefe's "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues." The two hits that everyone remembers from this set, however, are Brownsville Station's teenage rebel anthem "Smokin' in the Boy's Room," which implanted the late Cub Koda -- guitarist and co-author of the song -- forever into American popular culture, and Orleans' "Dance With Me," maybe the prettiest country-rock song of the decade. Mike Post's "The Rockford Files" was an anomaly, as the only instrumental theme off of television to chart during the decade. Nazareth's "Love Hurts is an amazing transformation of a '50s ballad into a hard rock number. And Morris Albert's "Feelings" has been mangled by lounge singers and parodied so many times that the original has become unlistenable, and it is mercifully saved for last. ~ Bruce Eder Producer: David McLees, Gary Stewart, Bill Inglot Format: CD (1 Disc); Stereo Country: USA Release Date: 6 April, 1993 Label: SUPER HITS OF THE 70'S Dimensions: 12.6 x 1.1 x 14 centimeters (0.04 kg)
