1972

The year: 1972. While last year I said that 1971 might have been the best year ever for music, I cannot say the same thing for 1972. Sure, there were some great songs and albums, but nothing along the lines of what we had in 1971.

In this podcast, I focus mainly on singles from 1972. I still listened mostly to AM radio and Casey Kasem’s Top 40, so these songs became ingrained into my consciousness. You might be surprised at some of my choices as songs that I love, but even hearing these songs 45 years later, I love each and every one of them. There was a period when I probably would have had bad things to say about some of these songs, especially one written by Paul Williams, but he wrote some really good songs.

So let’s take a listen to some of the best that 1972 had to offer, which includes Paul Simon, Three Dog Night, Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack, Elvis Presley, T. Rex, the Chi-Lites, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, the O’Jay’s, the Staple Singers, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Nilsson, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Big Star.
