Description

10 forgotten 70s hits you probably know by heart — but can you remember who sang them? Rediscover classic 1970s music, unforgettable radio hits, and Forgotten Songs whose melodies became more famous than the artists behind them. You know the song. You remember the chorus. You might even remember every word. But can you name the singer? During the 1970s, some records became so popular that they seemed to play everywhere — on AM radio, in cars, at school dances, and on record players across America. Decades later, the melodies remain familiar, but the names of the singers and bands aren't always so easy to remember. In this countdown, we're revisiting 10 memorable hits from the 1970s and the artists who brought them to life. Some performers had one unforgettable breakthrough. Others enjoyed successful careers but became less recognizable to later generations. These Forgotten Songs offer more than nostalgia. Each one gives you a chance to test your musical memory and rediscover the person behind a familiar voice. Try to name the artist before the answer is revealed. And stay until #1, because the final song might be one you can sing from beginning to end — without remembering who recorded it. That's the magic of Forgotten Songs. Sometimes the music lives on long after the artist's name fades from everyday conversation. How many singers or bands did you identify correctly out of 10? Share your score in the comments, and tell us which artist surprised you the most.
