Some more songs from June 6, 1970. Remember any?
REFLECTIONS OF MY LIFE-- MARMALADE-- big ballad from the UK band.
CECILLIA-- SIMON & GARFUNKEL-- in the Top ten. A single from "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album released in January. (My favorite S&G song.)
BAND OF GOLD-- FREDA PAYNE-- debuted this week, 40 years ago. (This one always reminds me of the beach at Honey Hill in Wauconda, Illinois, where I spent a lot of time that summer. Mostly with the night crew from Burger King in Palatine. We'd go there during the afternoon and the owner Bob Galloy would always get mad at us for going there because we were a bit slow that night.)
CARAVAN-- VAN MORRISON-- the new Van Morrison album was out for four months now, having come out in February called "Moondance." From side one.
NO SUGAR TONIGHT/NEW MOTHER NATURE-- GUESS WHO-- Riding a big Canadian snowdrift at this time as they had a big two-sided hit in your radio. The "B" Side was "No Sugar Tonight" and "New Mother Nature" attached to it on the album. This is the album version. "American Woman" was the "A" side. (Now that was one mighty fine single.)
COWBOY-- THREE DOG NIGHT-- both written by Randy Newman and both from their new album "It Ain't easy, their 4th album. A deep track. (To say the least, it's deep.)
MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME-- THREE DOG NIGHT--the newest single release. Both these songs written by the great, bus as of late undiscovered by most of us, Randy Newman. (Want some whiskey in your water? What are all these crazy questions you're asking me?)
THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD-- BEATLES-- The final Beatles album, "Let It Be" about a month old now. The "A" side.
FOR YOU BLUE-- BEATLES-- The "B" Side (What would a summer in the 60s and first year of the 70s be without a two-sided Beatles hit?)
Really, That L-O-N-G Ago? It Couldn't Be. --RoadDog
