"Guilty Pleasures" examined years before it became fashionable

If you know that "we had seasons in the sun" comes after "we had joy, we had fun "; if you grew up watching "The Brady Bunch" back to back with "The Partridge Family" every Friday at eight; if you listened to AM radio long into the night during the 1970s, this is the book for you.

Disc jockey Barry Scott's "Lost 45's" radio show dusts off hits from the seventies that were never heard again on the air after their initial climb up the charts: songs by the Osmonds, the Bee Gees, Olivia Newton-John, the Bay City Rollers, the Captain and Tennille. In We Had Joy, We Had Fun he compiles over twenty of the show's exclusive interviews with the most popular "lost" artists of the decade,
Here David Cassidy and Susan Dey, Tony Orlando, Sonny Bono and Cher, Bobby Sherman, and more talk with honesty, humor, and affection about their career highs and lows, the stories behind their hits, and their current activities.

So if songs like "I Think I Love You" "Love Will Keep Us Together," and "Shake Your Booty" make you feel like dancin', pull up a beanbag chair and dip into We Had Joy, We Had Fun for a groovy trip down memory lane.
