I was lucky enough to be born with two much older siblings, in 1969.
They were teenagers when I was a young BFSkinner, finding my way around the world. They had a huge collection of 45s, that they would play all the time, I would assume like most teenagers of any era.
Thus I was exposed to a lot of 70s music, even though I did not come to my "own" musical growth spurt until the 80s, I remember sitting around with them listening to music.
So I dedicate this diary to them and to you folk who came into music in the 70s, and present several one hit wonders of the 1970s.
I know I did not include them all, to present them all in one diary intro limited to ten would be impossible. But I hope that if I did not include your favorite you can insert it into the comments section.
