But you'd think that, on a '70s-themed show, they would bother to mention the person who sang "All By Myself" in the '70s instead of a later cover. And I'm still griped over Donny Hathaway getting credit for "I Believe" (even though I love Hathaway's music) because the song goes back to Ray Charles. But that's a case where they are focusing just on the '70s performer. Because the show's musical memory is limited to what the singers and the judges can remember.

There are like 4 that I look up from my knitting to watch, the rest has been background noise so far. 70s week - bad idea or they needed help on song selection.
