Can you link an image of a 1970s artist to an iconic hit?

I scored 24/25, struggling with differentiating between women with afros.
Congratulations to EclecticMusicLover, who scored the fastest 25/25 in last week’s 1960s hit quiz.
You may wish to question my taste, but for some reason I’ve always loved this 1970s soft-rock hit. Here’s a live version, with the intro inspired by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin.

This was a really easy one for me. 25/25 with 3:24 left on the clock.
Great work – I had a few problems with the afros.
25/25 with 4:19 left. I also love that Michael Murphy song, and that live version is great.
Fast time – I’m glad someone else likes ‘Wildfire’.
25/25 with 4:03 left. The afros threw me a bit, too
But you figured it out, so good work!
25/25 with 2:53 left. Yes!
100% – great work.
Heck yes! Thanks, Graham.
I’m of 2 minds on Wildfire. One part of me loves it, and the other part gags. lmao
Always a fine line between a great pop song and a cheesefest.
Well said!
23/25 – not too shabby, I guess, especially given how much I tend to suck at these games! 😂
I recall hearing “Wildfire” on the radio back in Germany many moons ago. I think you could do a lot worse!
I don’t know if you’re too bad at these – you’ve generally been scoring pretty well.
You’re very kind, Graham! 🙂
20/25. I’ll take it. Thanks as always.
And thanks for playing!
21/25… And one of those was because I rushing and clicked on Rod Stewart by mistake 😄
Yeah, Rod Stewart is usually a gimme, only rock star who looks like a cockatoo.
17/25. I could blame being rusty but really, I was still just a little one in the 70s.
Your blog generally focuses on the 1980s and later, right? Which is fine, cos lots of blogs focus on the 1960s and 1970s.
Score
25/25
Timer
03:58 This one was no trouble…although I almost got the BS song mixed up with the Billy Joel song title.
Wildfire…that brings back a lot of memories. Not many songs about horses…Chestnut Mare by the Byrds I think of as well.
Great work!
Wikipedia has a list – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Songs_about_horses
Horse With No Name is a big horse song too!
Oh yes…I forget about that one…but sholdn’t!
