Subject: HELP - student needs 70's song about abuse!

Written By: 2kidsami on 05/19/11 at 5:56 pm

I have a student who is in a Social Problems class, and she has to present some evidence on a topic, as it relates through different Decades.  She is looking for a song on Abuse (not drug abuse) in the 70's.  Can find plenty with drug references, and war...  but abuse in the 70's nothing on searches comes up.

How about Only Women Bleed by Alice Cooper. It deals with spousal abuse.

Pat Benatar: Hell is for Children

Released in 1980.  Technically not '70s.

I thought about Hell is for Children too max. Gotta figure it was written in the 70s if itgot releasedin 1980  ;D

I still say look into Tammy Wynette  :D

There's a song tickling tieback of mygrain ill let you know if it pops up to the front


Oh and this is totally cheating (sort of) you could use something from the soundtrack from Lady Sings the Blues I mean sure theBillie Holiday songs are from the 30s & 40s  But Diana Ross' versions were recorded in 71/72

It didn't work but it's avail on YouTube. The live version is interesting.

Funny thing I can come up tons from the 80s & 90s

Luka- Suzanne vega
He'll is for children
Dear mr Jesus
Behind the wall - Tracy Chapman (this one is awesomely haunting if you haven't heard it)
Damaged -TLC
Voices Carry - 'til Tuesday
Keep your head up - tupac
Janies got a gun
And a few dozen more.

Apparently Bessie Smith did one called Other Than that he's fine by me (or something really close to that - being Bessie smith it's probably from the 30s or 40s maybe even the 20s). Just mentioning this in case the student wants to branch out further

For the 70s all I could find an abundance of were girls being used (and tossed aside) by men. Which is a different type of abuse  ;)

Please let me know the student uses.

This should fit the bill...

(A bit of an oddity, as it deals with abuse directed at the man...)
