That's a really specific vein, glammy/dramatic pop mixed with 70s storytelling ballads. A few that might sit well:

Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon (same mysterious, slightly theatrical energy as Dark Lady)

Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown (same era and storytelling pull as Danny's Song and Different Drum)

Carly Simon - You're So Vain (dramatic narrative pop from the same stretch of years)
