A music writer names four 1976 Top 40 hits that remain regular choices on her car journeys: Leo Sayer’s “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing”, Steve Miller Band’s “Rock’n Me”, Boston’s “More Than a Feeling” and ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”. The article explains the personal appeal of each song and celebrates the enduring pleasure of 1970s music.
