Sadly, far too many hits from 1976, specifically, don\u2019t get as much love today as they should. You might be able to recall the following three somewhat forgotten songs from 1976 after the first few seconds, but I bet you haven\u2019t thought about them in a while. Let\u2019s change that!<\/p>\n<p>            \u201cWith Your Love\u201d by Jefferson Starship<\/p>\n<p>I remember the absolutely sick cover of the 1976 album Spitfire, but I completely forgot about this hefty hit from that album, the delightful soft rock tune \u201cWith Your Love\u201d. This tune, written by Vic Smith, Joey Covington, and Marty Balin, was first recorded by Jefferson Starship and released in mid-1976. It was the band\u2019s lead single from the above-mentioned album, and it was a hefty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The record peaked at No. 12, and also hit No. 6 on the Adult Contemporary chart and did similarly well in Canada. You just can\u2019t beat those jazzy hooks!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoung Hearts Run Free\u201d by Candi Staton<\/p>\n<p>Candi Staton has an incredible voice, and her work in 1970s <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/tag\/disco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disco<\/a> was on another level. \u201cYoung Hearts Run Free\u201d, one of her biggest hits, was first released in 1976 and hit the US charts in a big way. The disco tune made it to No. 20 on the Hot 100 and topped the Hot Soul Singles chart. It also did very well in the UK. Though David Crawford is credited as the song\u2019s writer, Stanton said in 2024 that she wrote the song about her experience with domestic abuse. She later left that abusive relationship and enjoyed a successful career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)\u201d by Parliament<\/p>\n<p>This is my favorite Parliament song. And for some reason, I never hear it out in the wild anymore, nor do I hear it on movie and TV soundtracks. That\u2019s an enormous shame, because this might just be the funnest funk song of the 1970s. It really shouldn\u2019t be an entry on our list of forgotten songs from 1976, and yet, I never hear it anywhere today. This absolute jam made it to No. 15 on the Hot 100 chart that year.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by Michael Ochs Archives\/Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who doesn\u2019t love some good rock, funk, and disco from the mid-1970s?
