Candida by Dawn (Bell, 1970) | 7 Inches of 70s Pop
https://70spop.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/candida-by-dawn-bell1970
What it’s all about. 7 Inches of 70s Pop. Candida by Dawn (Bell, 1970). Tony Orlando is a fun guy. But does that mean that qualified him to sing about fungi? Someone must have thought so and that’s why they offered Tony to sing a song about hooking up with a chic named after a yeast infection. How yummy! Truth be told, while Tony agreed, he also had them issue the single under the vague band name, Dawn, just as in 1969 he issued the song. Ended up being a Top 5 hit, but further follow-ups such as.

Runaway by Jefferson Starship (Grunt, 1978) | 7 Inches of 70s Pop
https://70spop.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/runaway-by-jefferson-starship-grunt-1978
What it’s all about. 7 Inches of 70s Pop. Runaway by Jefferson Starship (Grunt, 1978). The entity of airplanes and starships gets a lot of undeserved flak in the annals of pop rock, The fact of the matter is that they had a 22 year career hitting the Top 40 amid name changes, personnel changes, music changes. Who could have predicted that they would have 3 #1 hits in the late 80’s. (Say what you want about. We Built This City. Their 2nd single from the LP. You don’t know how much I miss you. You don̵...

https://70spop.wordpress.com/2013/10/23/tie-a-yellow-ribbon-round-the-old-oak-tree-by-dawn-featuring-tony-orlando-bell-1973
What it’s all about. 7 Inches of 70s Pop. Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree by Dawn Featuring Tony Orlando (Bell, 1973). Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree. They actually had as many hits with their iconic name than without. I don’t think Tony Orlando minds at all because without this weird run of luck, he would have just been a guy who had a Top 20 hit called. Way back in 1961. He Don’t Love You. To the current version of. Are We There Yet. Dawn’s New Ragtime Follies. With Al Kooper, a ...

http://pspurling.blogspot.com/2012/01/pauls-incomplete-guide-to-classic-pop.html
Ways To Fall: 1970s Blog. Wednesday, 4 January 2012. Paul's Incomplete Guide To Classic Pop 1975-79 Part 1. January' by Pilot (1975). To latter-day ears it sounds a lot like what a mid-'70s McCartney-led Beatles single would have been like had they stayed together (one can easily imagine 'January' joining 'Michelle', 'Eleanor', 'Prudence' and the rest of an illustrious group of girls feted by the Beatles in song). Single Bed' by Noosha Fox. Maybe the hint of permissiveness in the lyric also helped its ch...

80s Music Mayhem: Chuck Mangione - "Give it All You Got"
http://80smusicmayhem.blogspot.com/2011/05/chuck-mangione-give-it-all-you-got.html
A review of hit singles that charted on the Billboard. Hot 100 between 1980 and 1989. Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Chuck Mangione - "Give it All You Got". Debuted January 19, 1980, Peaked #18, 16 Weeks on the Chart). In any case, it's one of the few hits of the decade that featured a flugelhorn on it.
