From Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots show on WDRV, 97.1 FM in Chicago, June 6, 2015.
Here comes good old summer fun in the sun...from 40 years ago. These are the songs playing on the radio (in Chicago it was still the AM po(p)werhouses WLS and WCFL) and on your home stereo.
Bob Stroud's comments. ( ) My comments.
MAGIC-- Pilot Trio from Scotland, produced by Alan Parsons.
PINBALL WIZARD-- Elton John Soundtrack album to film "Tommy." Not released as a 45, but charting on the singles charts on WLS here in Chicago.
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL-- Joe Cocker Latest 45. (Not just a cover man.)
CHEVY VAN-- Sammy Johns, one-hit wonder
OLD DAYS-- Chicago From Chicago 8, #1-selling album in town. (One of my very favorite Chicago songs.)
NASSAU/BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY-- Peter Frampton Released the album Frampton in March of '75, but had no idea he'd hit it so big the following year, in 1976. (Of course, that '76 album was Frampton Comes Alive.) Nassau an instrumental.
HOW LONG-- Ace British band. lead singer's name is Paul Carrick
BLACK FRIDAY-- Steely Dan Firt single release from album Katy Lied
UNCLE SALTY-- Aerosmith From new Aerosmith album, out since April, Toys in the Attic. Great deep track from side one.
"Good Times I Remember." --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
