Remember dancing to these hits in the 1970s?

Were you part of the 1970s and what was it all about?

Paul Feig, American director and actor, once said: “when I went to high school in the late 1970s, disco was in full swing and anyone who was into it dressed the part.  I know I did.”

The songs of the 70s have a very specific sound and bring back special memories to those who experienced that decade.

Billboard has issued a list of the most popular songs of the 1970s.  This list was compiled according to the amount of time that the tracks stayed on the number one spot on the coveted Billboard  hot 100 list.
