Play it for me, Bob.

EVERYTHING I OWN-- BREAD-- (Gag!)
CLEAN UP WOMAN-- BETTY WRIGHT-- batting cleanup, her one and only hit

NEVER BEEN TO SPAIN-- THREE DOG NIGHT--
BANG A GONG (GET IT ON)-- T. REX-- English glam rockers finally invading US with Marc Bolan

SON OF MY FATHER-- GEORGIO-- the spacey synthesisers of Georgio Euro Rock. A group called Chicory also had it out.
HEART OF GOLD-- NEIL YOUNG-- Bringing us back down to earth after Georgio.

CRAZY MAMA-- J. J. CALE-- Shall we get laid back?
I GOTCHA-- JOE TEX-- Back when soul music was soul music, the late great Joe Tex.
