The Summer of 1971: July-- Part 3

Here some songs to take you back 40 years.

LET'S GET IT ON-- EDGAR WINTER-- Another horn band of the ra was Edgar Winter's White Trash, one of the baddest albums of the land, one of my favorite albums of the summer.
SIGNS-- FIVE MAN ELECTRIC BAND-- This is brand new by a band out of Canada. One of two hits by them. (I tried to sing this at karaoke once. It wasn't pretty.)

HERE COMES THE SUN-- RITCHIE HAVENS-- And there was a great old Beatles song on your radio recorded by them in 1969 on Abbey Road. This in the top ten. (First heard of Havens at Woodstock. Loved those sandals.)
IT DON'T COME EASY-- RINGO STARR-- Still riding the charts.

SMILE AWAY-- PAUL McCARTNEY-- It doesn't have to make sense, it's Rock and Roll. If he wants to say "I can smell your feet a mile away," he could. If you're Paul McCartney you can say anything you want. The first selection from Side 1 of Ram.
THAT'S THE WAY I ALWAYS HEARD IT SHOULD BE-- CARLY SIMON-- One of the most haunting songs. Her first hit. (The song with the title that never ended.)

MY GOD-- JETHRO TULL-- Side 2 from Aqualung. One of the highlights this past week on the Drive's Tenth Anniversary celebration. (And one of my favorite groups. Who'd have figures a flute in a rock band?)
DRAGGING THE LINE-- TOMMY JAMES-- Solo hit climbing the charts.
