;D :Dhi Rick...wow, I think I know most of those oldies but goodies. I don't know that Alice Cooper, but I know he did have one song I liked..something about "you and me we're not superstars, who we are is who we are, we share some popcorn and tv..." that one was pretty decent and that song reminds me of another one you may know who sung it..maybe J. Starship..something about "you are the magnet and I am the steel"...good vocals....

Now here are some intense memories! Only vaguely remember the Sedaka, but don’t remember the Dylan at all. So many favorites here. Had Bowie’s YOUNG AMERICANS and loved it ... also, the America, Elton John, John Denver, and Doobie albums that contain these hits. Though not the greatest Chicago fan, for some reason have had OLD DAYS stuck on my mind the past couple of days!
Smoothie, that Alice Cooper was the only slow ballad he did. At least the only one that was a hit. You would probably remember if you heard it. I remember it played a lot and was a pretty song. Another memory of heavy rockers doing a ballad was Kiss with BETH from that same general era if you remember that one. Also, a very pretty song.

;Dyes, I recall that Cooper song and since it was the only slow one he came out with..I guess that's why I remember it. I don't know the Kiss one, but I know the rockers Nazareth also did a slow one ..a re-make of "Love Hurts" which I had always remembered and loved from a 50's Everly Bro. album my sister played a million times. guess it's good to recall these things..keeps our minds half way alert..ha!

Doobies and TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS – A funny memory I have of playing this song at home one time was when my nieces were visiting. The oldest was about two and a half years old at the time. While this song was playing I put the head phones on her and boy did she start to boogie! Her little hips were going back and forth so fast it was like a blur! I was so amazed that a kid so young could step into the beat like that. She ended up getting a music degree!

Alice Cooper made the top 12 with three ballad hits. #12 and Gold with "I Never Cry" in 1977, #9 with "You And Me" also 1977 and #12 in 1978 with "How You Gonna See Me Now". All three songs were very well done with some excellent musical arrangements. Cooper proved with these songs that he was actually quite an excellent vocalist. Played on line … I forgot he did I NEVER CRY. That is a good song. But the other two ring no bells at all.

Thank you Rick for bringing back such good memories. I remember every one of these songs and I remember hearing them all at the time Only Yesterday was getting major airplay. I am especially fond of Thank God I'm a Country Boy by John Denver and Philadelphia Freedom by Elton John.
