David Bowie's 'Rebel Rebel' and Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama': 10 songs turning 50 in 2024
Many popular songs from the '70s, which are still listened to by all generations, are turning 50 this year.
Here are 10 tunes celebrating the 50th anniversary of their release in 1974.
Abba's "Waterloo" was released in March 1974 as the first single off their second album of the same name.
The song won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 for Sweden, and put Abba on the map. It was also covered by the cast of both "Mamma Mia!" and "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again."
Barry White's "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" was released in June 1974, as the first single from his third album, "Can't Get Enough."
The song was an instant success, topping both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard R&B charts, and was certified gold. It has become one of his most well-known tunes.
David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel" was the lead single from his eighth studio album, "Diamond Dogs."
It was released in February 1974 in the U.K., and in the U.S. a few months later, in May, and is often referred to as one of Bowie's greatest songs.
When "Come and Get Your Love" was released in January 1974, the band Redbone made history as the first Native American group to have a song in the top five on the Billboard Top 100 charts, peaking at No. 5.
The tune became popular among a new generation when it was featured in the 2014 film "Guardians of the Galaxy."
Jamaican musician Carl Douglas released "Kung Fu Fighting" in September 1974 as the first single from the album "Kung Fu Fighting and Other Great Love Songs."
It became one of the best-selling singles of all time, with sales of 11 million records worldwide. In 2002, VH1 placed the song as No. 100 on their list of "100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders."
