Please help me with this song.

Guys I really need help. I was in my mom's car today and this song came on the radio and I think it was from the 80's it was just one man singing solo he reminded my a little of an 80's Daniel Powter. Now in the chorus the only lyrics I remember is 74,75 or maybe it's seventy four, seventy five. Either way I really liked the song and I hope someone can help me out please.

the connels- '74 - '75

Tzina thanks for trying but it's not that one. I would recognise the lyrics if I could see em but it isn't that song. Thanks for trying though.

could it be by chance 24? 24 hours from Tulsa? Gene Pitney?
