The Summer of 1971: July-- Part 5

Finishing up the music played by Bob Stroud back on July 3rd on his Rock and Roll Roots Show on the Drive, WDRV FM here in Chicago.

By the way, Stroud today, on his Ten at Ten Show on the Drive is doing the year 1968. I'll be listening.


INDIAN RESERVATION-- RAIDERS-- Formerly Paul Revere and the Raiders, climbing the charts with this John Loudermilk classic. (Don Fardon had sung it before the Raiders.)
FUNKY NASSAU-- THE BEGINNING OF THE END-- One-hit wonder. (I hadn't heard this in many, many years.)

GET IT ON-- CHASE-- the late-great Bill Chase and his band, Chase. (Wonder where they got the name? Talk about your great horn songs.)
TREAT HER LIKE A LADY-- CORNELIUS BROTHERS AND SISTER ROSE-- out of Atlanta, G.A.

NATHAN JONES-- SUPREMES-- Another girl group who had a handful of hits after Diana Ross left. Top Ten. Good piece of semi-psychedelic Motown. (Who says you need Diana?)
RIDERS IN THE STORM-- DOORS-- New single from their latest album, L.A. Woman.

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND-- JAMES TAYLOR-- (Can you get any more laid-back, James?)
RINGS-- CIMARRON-- one hit wonder. "I got James Taylor on the stereo."

IT'S TOO LATE-- CAROLE KING-- the #1 song in town. from one of the defining albums of the Summer of '71 called Tapestry. (I sure have this album in my collection.)

The next show about the songs that were playing 40 years ago in the Summer of 1971 will be August 7th at 7 am CDST on the Drive, www.wdrv.com.
