Time Life Music’s Singers & Songwriters: 1976-1977 collects 24 radio hits over the span of two discs. Despite the title, the compilation doesn’t just favor traditional singer/songwriters like Al Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, and England Dan & John Ford Coley, though they are represented here. Group contributions include Orleans (“Still the One”), Fleetwood Mac (“Say You Love Me”), Chicago (“If You Leave Me Now”), and Bread (“Lost Without Your Love”), but it’s the solo acts that provide the most recognizable hits.

Review by James Christopher Monger, Allmusic.com

By 1976, the wave of singer/songwriters who emerged at the start of the decade had crested and receded, at least as far as the pop singles charts were concerned. John Denver, Cat Stevens, and Carole King continued to place singles in the charts, but outside the Top 40, and James Taylor and Carly Simon still might fly into the Top Ten with a well-chosen cover or a movie theme song, but the singer/songwriter movement had largely given way to a less well-defined, less individualized collection of light rockers who explored esoteric subjects (Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat," Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver"), overt eroticism (Jennifer Warnes' "Right Time of the Night"), or self-pity (Eric Carmen's "All by Myself"). That, at least, is the story of 1976-1977 according to this volume of Time-Life Music's Singers & Songwriters series. If the compilers were not so focused on the top of the singles charts, and if they had permission to use material by such important figures as Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Jackson Browne, they might have managed to produce a real chronicle of singer/songwriter music in the mid-'70s. Instead, this album is nothing more or less than a sampler of some of the soft rock Top 40 material of the 24-month period, from the country-pop of Glen Campbell ("Southern Nights") to the bluesy pop of Elvin Bishop ("Fooled Around and Fell in Love"), with lots of mainstream pop/rock by the likes of Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Hall & Oates, and Elton John in between. Singers & Songwriters? Well, 17 of the 24 songs were generated by the recording artists themselves, but there isn't much to hold the album together except the listener's nostalgic memory of listening to AM radio in the mid-'70s. It's no wonder that punk rock and new wave were being born at precisely this moment, since so much of the popular music of the time, many examples of it found on this album, was mediocre.
