Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Where Were You October 18, 1970?-- Part 4

CRACKLIN' ROSIE-- NEIL DIAMOND-- King of Diamonds, Neil in the Top Ten with a favorite bottle of wine
GYPSEY WOMAN-- BRIAN HYLAND-- covering the original done in the 60s by Chicago legends, the Impressions with Curtis Mayfield.

FIRE AND RAIN-- JAMES TAYLOR-- (Off that great "Sweet Baby James" album.)
LUCRETIA MACEVIL-- BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS-- Lucy, you're just so damn bad. Brand new. (My favorite BS&T song,)

MONGOOSE-- ELEPHANT'S MEMORY-- some sort of a parable with some sort of moral which I could never quite figure out, but it was in the top ten on WCFL anyway. Soon after this recording, this band of NYC musicians would join up with John Lennon and back him on many recordings.


I'LL BE THERE-- JACKSON FIVE-- #1 in town. Here they come. Their 4th consecutive #1 single. Michael and his brothers. Four number ones beginning with "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "Stop, the Love You Save."

A Very Good Chart. --RoadDog

We're now 11 days away from Rock and Roll Roots Vol. 11!!
