AM 1971

Continuing with the year 1971, this set is a bunch of songs that were on the Billboard 100 during the year, presented semi-1971 style. I don’t speak in-between or over the songs, but they’re just presented without a thought of any semblance of order. Just like 1971. You’d hear a country song followed by a soul tune. Why not? BTW, there’s a book out called the Heartaches by the Numbers: Country Music’s 500 Greatest Singles. I put this together before hearing about the book, but the #1 single according to the book is the next to last song played in this podcast.

So think back to a simpler time and listen to Badfinger, Tom Jones, Brewer & Shipley, Five Man Electrical Band, Ringo Starr, Jerry Reed, Three Dog Night, the Undisputed Truth, the Grass Roots, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tommy James, the Fortunes, Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose, the Bee Gees, Paul McCartney, Sammi Smith, and Cat Stevens.
