Just remember I love you

“Firefall” is a relatively unknown band for most rock fans. However, when we consider soft rock of the seventies, “Firefall” is an important name although they could never make it big! Undoubtedly, they could have gotten much farther than they have reached, but somehow, they just remained an undermined soft rock band. With wonderful melody, gentle beat and lover boy’s lyrics, many of their songs sway any rock fan smoothly. With songs like “Just remember I love you”, “Someday soon”, “You are the woman”, “Goodbye I love you”, “Only a fool”, “Love that got away”, “Sold on you”, to their catalogue, “Firefall” is a band to fall upon when you don’t have anyone to fall upon….

Don’t you let me down

KISS is a hard rock band whose fame in the seventies and early eighties remained unparalleled. They have numerous hot numbers to their credits and are well loved by rock fans all over the world. Formed by Paul Stanley (Rhythm guitars/vocals), Gene Simmons (Bass guitars/vocals), Ace Frehley (Lead guitars/vocals) and Peter Criss (Drums/vocals) in New York in 1973, they were an amazing band with incredible hit numbers, extraordinary face painting make ups and elaborate stage shows. In 1978, they were at the commercial peak of their career, with 4 platinum albums just under two years. During this era, they ventured out for something extra-ordinary. All the 4 members released 4 solo albums under the name KISS, with similar album covers, with no artists contributing any to the other. This was perhaps their method of easing the tensions among the members, to showcase their own creativity; or maybe it was a very attractive market ploy. Whatever, all the albums were successful and consolidated KISS’s success further.

I don’t want to talk about it

“Crazy Horse”, more popularly known as the back up band for Neil Young, perhaps never got the praise they deserved. Although they had very few albums on their own, their contribution to Neil Young’s solo albums is just indispensable. A talented band full of extraordinary band members including Danny Whitten, whose life just cut short, this band undoubtedly portrays the best of the seventies rock phenomenon.

Release year– 1977

Bougainvillea

“Dickey Betts”, more popularly known as the guitarist for “The Allman Brothers Band”, is undoubtedly the virtuoso guitar player himself. For many rock fans, it might be a surprise revelation – that the long jamming guitarist in The Allman Brothers Band’s ‘Blue sky’, also had side projects and is also a well-established singer and guitarist in his own right.  Born and raised in Florida, USA, Dickey Betts had a family with musical background. He had started to learn various musical instruments from his early childhood days and ultimately stuck to guitars in his teenage years. In 1969, he cofounded “The Allman Brothers Band” and had a successful career as the guitarist. During the break up periods of “The Allman Brothers Band”, Betts engaged himself in his own band and released few notable albums. He had formed his own band named “Great Southern Band” in 1977 and had released an album named “Dickey Betts & Great Southern”. Although he could not achieve the name and fame with his solo projects in comparison to “The Allman Brothers Band”, his solo projects do play a major role in the seventies country and southern rock scene.

 Let me in

 “Rick Derringer” is one of the most cherished rock guitarists of the seventies. Firstly, with his band “The McCoys”, and subsequently, as the guitarists partner for Johnny and Edgar Winter brothers, Rick Derringer substantiated his place among the seventies rock guitar virtuosos. Although, his catalogue of hit numbers is relatively few, his contribution to the seventies rock scenario just can’t be undermined. Despite being in various bands and collaborating with numerous varied artists, he had been continuing his musical career till late. With his recent death in 2025 May, the era of a great rock guitarist has come to an end.
