Little Feat is the great underrated band of the 70's.

Little Feat is the great underrated band of the 70's.

One of them for sure. Lowell George dying so young was a great loss.

The story of the band's beginning, the song Willin' and him being fired from Frank Zappa's band is a good read if you are interested.

I saw Little Feat live back in that era. Tremendous musicians with an inimitable style. Warm-up act was The Tubes. Odd pairing, but great show nonetheless.

70s were agreat era in some regards. I think the 70s represent the peak of Hard Rock. Zeppelin's later stuff, Sabbath, AC/DC, The Who, Aerosmith, Queen, etc. the bands of that group who survived the 70s weren't quite the same afterwards. AC/DC burst onto the scene with Back in Black, but their earlier stuff was way more rocking and awesome. Post BiB everything sounds just about the same. The Who released 2 albums in the 80s (after Moon's death) and they both suck compared to the rest of their discography, Aerosmith for sure peaked in the 70s, after that they had a few scattered hits but when people talk about Aerosmith they think Sweet Emotion, Dream On, etc. Not Cryin or Crazy. Queen kept on being awesome but got less hard.

There's just something surreal watching this. The choreography of dancing and singing, the clothes and attire. It just screams 70's. In the Philippines, a lot of popular music from the 60's and 70's, are still top hits there today. Before my folks came to the States, music like this was so dominant on the radios there. Thus, I grew up listening to a lot of these groups and singers.

Here's a lost nugget from a British soul group. Reached #1 in the UK and #14 on the Billboard Top 100.
