Woke up this am with this song stuck in my brain. Song is from late in 1975 or early 1976.

Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (Lyrics)​



SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew.
 
1985

The Power Station - Get It On (Bang A Gong)​

The Power Station was a supergroup featuring Robert Palmer, John Taylor and Andy Taylor from Duran Duran and Tony Thompson from Chic.

Biig Piig - Feels Right ​


 
If this is PL-related I am not aware. Don't remember/know a thing about having existed in the 2nd century AD, but as I mentioned Ancient music in melon's thread, I thought I'd share an Ancient tune I really like.
