I Heard It On The Radio, Part 2
Welcome to the Sunday edition of Monday’s Music Moves Me. August is quickly coming to an end. Tomorrow is Patrick from Adventures in Weseland last week as 4M honorary co-host. The theme is open to whatever music moves you with freedom of song choice. Feeling inspired and moved with last week’s prompt, I’m tuning into hit songs I heard on the radio in 1976.
Radio, Part 2 playlist:
- Baby Face ~The Wing and a Prayer Fife and Drum Corps
- Saturday Night ~Bay City Rollers
- Baby I Love Your Way ~Peter Frampton
- Breaking Up Is Hard To Do ~Neil Sedaka
- You’re My Best Friend ~Queen
- The Boys Are Back In Town ~Thin Lizzy
- Rhiannon ~Fleetwood Mac
- Still The One ~The Orleans
- Welcome Back ~John Sebastian
- You Sexy Thing ~Hot Chocolate
This is a music linky party. Your co-hostess are Stacy, Alana, and Me. Every other week we have a suggested music theme (see weekly prompts here) to build your song set around and all participants share YouTube or Vimeo videos for our music enthusiasts. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.
Let me say special thanks to our good friend, Patrick for volunteering to take the reign this months as our special guest host. You did a fabulous job and everyone enjoyed your themes. You’re welcome to fill-in again anytime, my friend.
I’ll see y’all next week same time. This is CAAC signing off, have a boogietastic week! 🤗💋, Cathy

It’s hard to not get up to dance to these songs and oh, yes the feelings left from those distant memories. What a great time it was back then!
John Holton
It was that version of “Baby Face” that inspired me to call our first cat “Kittyface.” Great set!
Cathy Kennedy
John,
Kittyface is a good pet name. 😀

Cathy Kennedy
Nicole,
All is well here. Just busy, busy, busy! I’m growing more and more anxious for vacation. I’m glad things are going better on your end. Thanks for stopping by to enjoy the music, my friend!
Andree
That Fleetwood Mac is always near the top of my list!
Cathy Kennedy
Andree,
Fleetwood Mac is a great band.
Debbie D.
Thanks for that blast from the past, Cathy. 🙂 The Welcome Back Kotter theme made me smile. Vinny Barbarino, Horshack and co. – what a goofy bunch. 😀 The Boys are Back in Town still gets a lot of airplay on Classic Rock radio. Love it. Thanks for checking out my concert post. I added my link to your list. Have a great week!
Cathy Kennedy
Debbie,
Oh I had such a crush on John Travolta and Paul Palillo (Horshack) with that stupid “Ooo, Ooo!” cracked me up. I just found out he died several years ago from a heart attack. He was only 63. WOW! Thanks for joining the 4M party, my friend. You’re always welcome. 😉

Mike,
Thanks for joining the 4M party. Jackson Browne is a good choice!

Nice choices, especially Queen’s You’re My Best Friend. XO
Cathy Kennedy
Ellen,
Queen was on fire in the 70s. They have some great music!
Brian
LOL, at least I knew three this time!
Cathy Kennedy
That’s an improvement! Right? lol You either you like disco or hated it. At the time, I loved it! These days while it’s not my preferred genre I do like escaping back to the day when these songs were popular.

Well, that playlist covers quite the spectrum of music. As most likely the oldest participant here, I can remember both arrangement of the Neil Sedaka classic and liked both of them. Very few songs get a total makeover by the original artist and make a run to the top of the charts. Fleetwood Mac is always a winning selection and Welcome Back brings back fond memories of a great television show. Excellent selection of radio tunes. Have a blessed week.
Cathy Kennedy
Every time I hear Fleetwood Mac “Rhianna” a sore spot is touched in my soul. I can’t remember what was going on at the time for me to still feel the dulled pain. The years have erased it from my mind. Thanks for joining the 4M party, my friend.

Awww, the kitten wants to join the fun.
Love the play list.
Hope you have a great week!
Cathy Kennedy
I’m happy you enjoyed the music, Mimi! 🙂
Alana
This is a fun playlist and the highlight, for me, besides “Rhiannon” (a song I absolutely love) was the cover of Baby Face. Believe it or not, I never heard this cover before! The sound sounds so much like MFSB with their hit T.S.O.P. Maybe Wing and a Prayer was Brooklyn’s answer? Maybe, maybe not, but it sure was enjoyable to this disco lover. I had forgotten about “Breaking Up is Hard to Do”; imagine covering your own hit song with a totally different arrangement. In today’s slang, he “killed it”
Cathy Kennedy
Alana,
Going back to 1976 music archives you can find something that everyone not only fondly remembers but loves! In my opinion some of the best music came out of this decade. I never grow tire of hearing tunes from the past. The Sound of Philadelphia “MFSB” is an awesome disco song. It sets my body in motion!
Sandee
Awww on that adorable kitty. Such a cutie pie.
Love your playlist. I’ll make sure I post at least one time next month. I love my weekends off.
I applaud Patrick for the great job he did as co-host this month.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous day and week, Cathy. Love and hugs. ♥
Cathy Kennedy
Sandee,
I love your visits and appreciate so much when you join the party. It’s just awesome! Patrick did a fantastic job. As quickly as time is passing it won’t be long before you’ll be our honorary co-hostess. Thanks for dropping by, my dear!

Hi, Cathy!
Happy Paw-some 4M Monday on Sunday, dear friend! I hope you and DH had a great week and are having a nice weekend.
Awww… I just wanna smooch that little kitten, but it looks like he’s busy composing a piece for the piano and I hate to disturb him. I wonder if it’s “Chopsticks.” 🙂
I really enjoyed listening to these sounds of ’76. I know and like each and every one of them. I must admit that I haven’t given a thought to Wing and a Prayer Fife and Drum Corps since the 70s decade ended. They were a disco “pseudo group” born in the recording studio and consisting of session musicians and vocalists. Their cover of “Baby Face,” the Tin Pan Alley jazz song published in 1926, was a biggie in the dance clubs. I read this morning that the female vocalists for the group were Linda November, Vivian Cherry, Arlene Martell, and Helen Miles. They sound an awful lot like The Three Degrees, the girl group that reinvented itself a couple of years earlier and became a key part of the hit-making Sound of Philadelphia. They’re the ones who sing the Soul Train theme song. Frampton came alive in the mid 70s, and you posted one of his best. It was cool the way Neil Sedaka structured his re-make of “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do” using a few seconds of the original up tempo rock & roll hit and then transitioning into the smooth ballad that was typical of his style during his comeback years in the 70s. In Part 1, your mewsic block included a great song that was not on your printed play list, namely “Right Back Where We Started.” This time, you have a song on your printed list that I could not find in the video set, namely the top 5 soft-rock song “Still The One” by Orleans. It’s a great song worth mentioning. My Pick To Click for this post is the classic rock hit by Fleetwood Mac.
I know you are still not getting notifications about my new posts, FYI, my current post expires firs thing tomorrow morning, so if you’d like to visit and have a few minutes to drop by, today would need to be the day. As always, I am grateful for your friendship and support. Have a wonderful week ahead, dear friend Cathy!
Birgit
Ooh I love thst kitten! I so enjoyed listening to all of these songs. I actually like the slider rendition of Neil Sedaka’s hit. It seems more in keeping with the lyrics. The kast one always reminds me of the movie ” The Full Monty.”
Cathy Kennedy
Hey Birgit,
We haven’t watched The Full Monty, I don’t believe. I’m going to have to check that out. I’m so happy you came by dance with me! 😉
Cathy Kennedy
Tom,
The kitty is composing a song. It’s You Make My Heart Meow. She’s copying me. That’s what I say to DH often, except I say sing not meow. 🙂 “Baby Face” has come to mind over the years but not the band because I didn’t remember who did the song. It wasn’t until I came across for this set that I noticed who did it that I remembered. Ask me tomorrow who did this song and I betcha I can’t tell ya. lol I think I read online years ago that this song originated in the mid-20s. That surprised me. I remember The Three Degree and yes, I hear the similarity between the two bands. I was Peter Frampton back in the day. Neil Sedaka’s slower tempo actually puts you more in the mind frame of dealing with those breaking up blues. Oh nuts! Thanks for letting me know there’s a problem with my playlist. I just fixed the missing video. The vid that doesn’t work still shows in cue thanks to YT making it hidden therefore I can’t remove it from my list. That’s so dumb. Thanks for dropping by to enjoy I Heard It On The Radio, Part 2. Have a boogietastic week, my friend!
