Another year where artists who will come to define this decade (and the next) are continuing to cement their place. In addition to Elton John's continuous presence on the charts, we're also seeing the Top Ten debut of Neil Sedaka (both as a performer and songwriter), David Bowie, Eagles, and Earth Wind and Fire. The latter is notable for a multitude of reasons, but their fusion of soul, funk, and eventually disco feels like what the decade has been building up to. That funk influence can also be heard in David Bowie's Fame, one of the earlier examples of funk rock featured in these polls.

MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Standing in the Rain”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94ASNMrwpF4 —A rock’n’roll torch song, cut in the style of Jerry Lee Lewis or Freddy Fender, and sung with British verve by Chris Andrews—a singer-songwriter and recording artist whose songs have been covered by Roger Daltrey, David Essex, and Davy Jones (Monkees). Under the name Tim Andrews he was a champion of late 60s psychedelic pop and (later), as Kris Ryder, he released New Wave synthpop sides in the 80s. Chris was also part of the seminal freakbeat band Fleur de Lys. “Standing in the Rain” is one of Chris’s more recent sides (don’t forget your umbrella)…
