I saw Ronnie Milsap in concert in the very early 80's, and I like each of your suggestions. Enjoy the rest of the posts, and don't be shy about visiting the non-AtoZ posts as well.<br /><br />~MaryMary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-86486184152214350222017-05-15T11:33:58.722-04:002017-05-15T11:33:58.722-04:00Lol!

I've enjoyed your A to Z Challenge and I haven't even finished reading all the posts yet! <br /><br />I love hearing songs from my childhood in the 70's and yes I agree, there were a lot of genres back then too. I've thought of one category that might want to be visited and that is the one of country/pop crossover hits. There's several artists who may have been known as country artists who had huge hits with songs that made the Top 100 Billboard charts. Artists such as Eddie Rabbit, Ronnie Milsap, Dan Seals (of England Dan and John Ford Coley fame) among others had huge hits in the 70's and 80's that were on both country and pop charts. <br /><br />Anyway, I'll get to those remaining letters of the challenge soon! <br /><br />Thanks for your efforts! <br /><br />Darrenbrewster65https://www.blogger.com/profile/16884917556399560519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-39432095577424483962017-05-12T16:03:04.959-04:002017-05-12T16:03:04.959-04:00Thanks, Cait!

Did a little research, and sure enough it was also on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End charts. It just worked out in my favor perfectly. <br /><br />~MaryMary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-79648915619377322462017-05-12T15:10:45.402-04:002017-05-12T15:10:45.402-04:00Well done on making it to the end of the challenge...Well done on making it to the end of the challenge!

I was born in 1965, so these songs are all part of my growing up years. In many ways, I feel somewhat like your baby sister.

I have two distinct memories from decade. 1970 was the year my baby sister was born and then in 1979 on my sister's 9th birthday, DH and I got married. :) <br /><br />Congratulations on a job well done and for finishing the A to Z Challenge in retro style. It was great to dance with you all month long and mega thanks for joining me each day! :D PS: I subscribed to your playlist! ;)<br /><br />~Curious as a Cathy<br /><a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2017/05/atozchallenge-art-sketching-through-the-alphabet-reflections/" rel="nofollow">Art Sketching Through the Alphabet Reflections</a><br /><br /><br />Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-28512003604586501012017-05-08T01:54:10.110-04:002017-05-08T01:54:10.110-04:00Debbie, it used to take me just a matter of a few ...Debbie, it used to take me just a matter of a few hours to put together a post, but I've been working on a post for this coming Thursday for the past two days and I'm not even close to it being ready to publish. I'm accustomed to having posts ready at minimum a full week in advance, if not more, but I've been so tired lately, I can't even think straight. <br /><br />Thank you for your many visits this month.
