Most Memorable 70’s One Hit Wonder

Boogie Nights was good - Groove Line was better..

 

No, it apparently reminded her of an affair she had with a married man when she was 19 and they met in the afternoons.

 

The album this song is on was in a lot of albums I bought at auction.

Shitty design on the front cover and the picture on the back is weird.

That's all I got.

 

Bill Danoff of Starland Vocal Band wrote "Take Me Home, Country Roads" for John Denver. That's all I got.

 

And Danoff had never been to West Virginia.

 

This weeks Parade Magazine in the Sunday paper (yeah I still get the papers on the driveway) said the lyrics were originally about Maryland but changed to West Virginia for the rhymes.

 

Saw them live in Hilton Head in 1987.

 

I got you a stone classic 70's One Hit Wonder right here.

Neither had the local band I saw play it live.

At an outdoor wine festival. In Germany.

 

Massachusetts, according to Wiki. Danoff is from there:

Danoff has stated he had never been in West Virginia before co-writing the song, having written it in a house in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. He had even briefly considered using "Massachusetts" rather than "West Virginia," as both four-syllable state names would have fit the song's meter.
