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

Where Were You September 2, 1972?-- Part 4

Some more songs from Bob Stroud that were playing on your radio just a mere 40 years ago.

SUMMER SUN--  JAMESTOWN MASSACRE--  (Local boys doing well.)
YOU WEAR IT WELL--  ROD STEWART--  Had just been released, the follow up to Every Picture Tells a Story.  This is Never a Dull Moment, one of the most anticipated new albums of '72.

IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG, I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT--  LUTHER INGRAM--  Great soul classic.  Rod Stewart would cover it on his 1977 album Footloose and Fancy Free.
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP--  ARGENT--  (Rod Argent used to be with those Zombies.)

LONG COOL WOMAN--  HOLLIES--  (A Hollies song of a different sort.)
USE ME--  BILL WITHERS--  In the early 90s, Mick Jagger and Lenny Kravitz teamed up to do a good version of it.  (I call it the song that wouldn't end.)

TIGHT ROPE--  LEON RUSSELL-- 
YOU DON'T MESS AROUND WITH JIM--  JIM CROCE--

IF I WERE A CARPENTER--  BOB SEGER--  From his brand new album, Smokin' O.P.s.  A killer version of an old Tim hardin folk classic.  (This song has been covered by many groups.)
FROM THE BEGINNING--  EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER--  From the Trilogy album.

MIDNIGHT RIDER--  JOE COCKER--  (Joe does some Allman.)
I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU--  AL GREEN--  The Rev.

MOTORCYCLE MAMA--  SAILCAT--
GOODBYE TO LOVE--  CARPENTERS--

BRANDY (YOU'RE A FINE GIRL)--  LOOKING GLASS--  #1 song in Chicago.

Looking Forward to the Summer of '73.  Now, That Was a Biggie for Me.  --RoadDog
