With the 1971 list now having a couple of supports, let's continue our look at the biggest mellow hits of the 1970s. There's some songs here that I personally don't know at all but also some all-time classics, including the first big hit version of that well-known song "Ken Lee" :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

• Support - The sentence I usually quibble about is already correctly put here so I am happy to support this directly. Great work as always. "American Pie" (which seems to be a song?) should be in single quotes in ref 2, though.--NØ 17:37, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:14, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Comments

• The Roberta Flack image seems to have two dates associated with it: 1995 and 2010. I'd guess 1995 is more accurate. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:32, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Commments by Alavense

• Why is it the year the picture was taken specified for two images but not for the others? I'd make it consistent.
• Besides, in the one about Roberta Flack, there's a space missing between the "c." and the year.

That's what I saw, ChrisTheDude. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 06:33, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

@Alavense: - I have a tendency to put dates only for images that were taken many years before or after the period under discussion, to make it clear that, for example, Don McLean wasn't an old grey-haired man in 1972. But I guess inconsistency can be irritating so I added the others too -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:05, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
