Where Were You April 5, 1973? --Part 2

More songs playing on WLS and WCFL and some FM stations by now.

COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE-- DR. HOOK-- let's curl up with a good magazine, now. (You make it on the cover of this, you've made it!)
ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH-- JOHN DENVER-- from the late great. (Stay out of those experimental airplanes.)

SPACE ODDITY-- DAVID BOWIE-- (After the previous song) plenty of highs in your radio. A song about four years old at this time, but it didn't happen for him the first time around, but now that he was a big star in the States, the record company re-released the song and it was a hit. (Who'd have figured that.)
WILDFLOWER-- SKYLARK-- one-hit wonder group

LOVE TRAIN-- O'JAYS-- I think we've got an extra ticket for you if you want to hop aboard with the O'Jays.
FRANKENSTEIN-- EDGAR WINTER GROUP-- instrumental (That's some kind of guitar-playing.)

STIR IT UP-- JOHNNY NASH-- Time Warp 4-5-73. Doing a Bob Marley song (An early introduction to reggae. I didn't get into it until 1981 when we went on a dive trip to the Bahamas and heard this great music.)
DEAD SKUNK-- LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III-- A driver's worse nightmare and Loudon Wainwright puts it into words. (I sure would like to find the guy who keeps running over them.)

I'M JUST A SINGER IN A ROCK 'N ROLL BAND-- MOODY BLUES-- As we put you back where you were on this moving and grooving set. From their most recent album "Seventh Sojourn."

And, the #1 Song
ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA-- DEODATO-- was the theme that Elvis used to let us know he was in the building. (What a guy.) It's also commonly referred to as the "Theme from 2001" but, it's actually a classical piece of music composed by Richard Straus. (Sure glad I never had to pronounce this.)

Other song bits (used to introduce segments after commercial breaks)
Delilah- Tom Jones
Big City Miss Ruth Anne-- Gallery (never heard of it before)

Whoa, the Seventies. --RoadDog
