1974 The year I turned 13

CAAC — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Howdy-hi, folks! Thanks for joining in today for my third volume of Top Ten Tuesdays. For much of 1974 I was a preteen. I am a December baby so the year I turned 13 much of the hits came out before I was officially a teenager. This won’t stop me from using 1974 to build my playlist, though. I’m a bit of rebel!

TTT 1974 playlist: 1. Kung Fu Fighting ~Carl Douglas 2.

*TTT 1974 playlist:

Kung Fu Fighting ~Carl Douglas
You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet ~BTO
I Honestly Love You ~Olivia Newton John
Rock Me Gently ~Andy Kim
The Night Chicago Died ~Paper Lace
Rock the Boat ~The Hues Corporation
The Streak ~Ray Stevens
The Loco-Motion ~Grand Funk Railroad
Hooked On A Feeling ~Blue Swede
Love’s Theme ~Love Unlimited Orchestra with Barry White

*Inspiration borrowed from Wikipedia List of Billboard Hot 100 Number One Songs from 1974. I went with the song titles that jumped out at me beginning with December working my way backward through the year.

Let’s build a playlist together! Leave a #1 song in comments and if I use it, then I’ll give you credit for the contribution. Hopefully, I’m ready to tackle my everyday blogging challenge. I periodically spent time over the summer thinking about how I want to move forward on CAAC.

A Tickle Me Tuesdays contribution for Stacy’s randomness and Sandee’s giggles link ups

I’m heading off to visit my Tuesday lineup gals with coffee in hand and I hope you’ll follow my lead. That’s it for today. Don’t skip off just yet, following this post I’m launching for the first time in a very long time a Tickle Me Tuesday edition. Have a terrific Tuesday! XX, Cathy

You Light Up My Life, DH!

Awww Mondays hosted by Sandee from Comedy Plus.

The underdogs rose to top dog in Super Bowl LIV. Way to go, Kansas City Chiefs! I have to admit I was a little worried but they really dug their heels in and things miraculously took a huge change in the 4th quarter going from being down by 10 to taking the lead and winning the game 31 to 20! Congratulations to all the Chiefs players, coaches, and owners! Although I’m in a celebratory mood over yesterdays victory but what has me especially in a good mood is the Punxsy Phil’s prediction for an early spring yesterday at Gobblers Knob.

Speaking of Groundhog Day, we watched the movie on Saturday night which was a whole of fun. We never tire of seeing this one, either. Did you catch the Superbowl commercial for Jeep? If not, now a word from our sponsor (not really)!

Now back to regular programming….

Welcome to Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me!

Robin from Songbird’s Crazy World is this month’s honorary co-hostess for the second time. This week she wants us to share songs In honor of Valentine’s Day, we will have love songs. Songs about falling in love, songs about being in love, songs about missing the one you love, even songs about losing love.

I don’t recommend not saying this but it was just too darn funny to not share.

Putting the silliness aside, after 40+ years, DH and I are more in love now than the day we met. I don’t know how that’s even possible and we have this deep rooted love that continues to grow year after year. He’s my soulmate. I know not everyone can say that, so I count my blessings every day. Today, I’m going to share love songs from the 70s and 80s that move me this morning, some are from our courtship (1976-1979) through our early years of marriage (1979-1986).

Love Songs 2020 tracks: 1. Ain’t No Mountain High Enough ~ Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell 2. They Long To Be (Close To You) ~ The Carpenters 3. Take My Breath Away ~Berlin 4. I Honestly Love You ~ Olivia Newton John 5. If You Leave Me Now ~Chicago 6. All Out of Love ~Air Supply 7. Muskrat Love ~Captain and Tennille 8. How Deep Is Your Love ~Bee Gees 9. When I Need You ~Leo Sayer 10. You Light Up My Life ~Debbie Boone

DISCLOSURE…this is a mewsic linky party, which means all participates are sharing songs that one can listen to from YouTube or Vimeo and a not a post about mewsic or mewsicians. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.

Now, hit the 4M dance floor!

[tweetthis]Hit the #MondaysMusicMovesMe dance floor with me! @xmasdolly [/tweetthis]

Starting this month, all 4M participants will get a chance to be guest host/hostess for a month as we’re going to set up a rotation system. Not to worry, you’ll be given advanced notice to accept and submit your themes. You’ll be placed at the top of the linky party but if for some reason you can’t actively do the co-host/hostess duties and want to toss in your theme ideas anyhow, then you can send them, receive credit, and join the party at your convenience. This format might change. We’re exploring new ways to keeping things fresh at the best dance party in Blogosphere and feel free to add suggestions. Just when you thought your two cents didn’t matter, you learn your opinion is valued.

Have you asked anyone lately to attend the 4M party? We’d love to fill the dance floor to capacity! If you haven’t done so, then let me challenge you to hook at least one new person to come boogie with the crew. It’ll be a blast!

Did you join the linky party? If so, then please try to visit at a minimum the person before and after your entry but if you wanna party with us all then go for it. I won’t stop ya! Have a boogietastic day!

XX, Cathy

I Honestly Love You #BOTB

CAAC — Sun, 15 Feb 2015 11:00:12 +0000

This morning, I’m mixing humor with music. Who’s in the mood for love?

Valentine’s Day is the most commercialized celebration of one’s affections for another and I’m a sucker like everyone else who enjoys having an extra reason to show DH my love.

In 1974 Olivia Newton-John won a Grammy for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance with I Honestly Love You written by Jeff Berry and Australian composer Peter Allen.

I thought it would be fun to hear this song by the opposite sex, since I grew up listening to and thinking that the soft feminine sound of ONJ is the only way to love, I Honestly Love You.

Today’s spin-off is between two slightly forgotten artists. Who will win? It’s up to you, listen and vote for your favorite BOTB player. Let the battle begin!

British pop artist, Cliff Richards, fame is predominately in the UK earning him multiple gold and platinum awards over the years. However, his success never had the same impact in the United States despite eight US Top 40 singles, including Devil Woman and We Don’t Talk Anymore.

Released on his 2004 The World Tour album, I Honestly Love You….

American soul artist/songwriter, Jerry Butler, was the lead singer of The Impressions (late 50s-early60s). Butler co-wrote several successful hits songs in his career. I recall one of his songs from 1975 (He Will Break Your Heart) charting #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 by Tony Orlando and Dawn renamed He Don’t Love You (Like I Love You).

Jerry Butler’s 1976 Love’s On the Menu album, includes his version of I Honestly Love You.

The survey vote worked beautifully last week. It simplified the count process without goof ups on my part. I know we are only a handful of participants, but still it kinda drives my eyes nuts hunting for each person’s vote. lol After you vote, please tell us why you liked your pick the best in comments.

Okay, if you’re new to Battle of the Band, then visit STMcCP to get the 411 on how things work and for the rest of you, you know what to do. It’s time to play along with the other kittens and dawgs!

I’ll have the results next week this time, so I invite you to check back to see if your pick gets named the winner. Before I scat for the day, let me leave you with this funny. WARNING: Use of Strong language, but comical and oddly spoken with a lot of truth.

Thanks so much. Until we meet again, have bandtastic day and join me tomorrow on the dance floor with #Music Breaking Up Is Hard To Do Part III!
