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

What Were You Doing August 5, 1972?-- Part 5

Taking you way back, back 40 years ago.  These were the songs playing on your radio here in the Chicagoland area, though, I was in Georgia and going to summer school at UGA back then.

TAKE IT EASY--  EAGLES--  A lot of this summer was about the greatnew artists we were discovering, not the least of which were the Eagles.  Their first single release.  (And Liz and my unofficial Route 66 song.  When You're "Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona," you're standing by Route 66, the Mother Road."
BLACK AND WHITE--  THREE DOG NIGHT--  brand new.

COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU--  TODD RUNDGREN--  From the brilliant double vinyl release Something, Anything.  The new follow-up single to "I Saw the Light."  The one-man band.
COCONUT--  NILSSON--  His third single release and going up the charts.  The album Nilsson Scmilsson was released in 1971 and still going strong.

BACKSTABBERS--  O'JAYS--  One of my favorite Philadelphia tunes.
HONKY CAT--  ELTON JOHN--  From his Honky Chateau release.  (Yeah, ya gotta get back.)

One More to Go.  --RoadDog
