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

Where Were You October 1, 1972?: 'Dirty Work'

Bob Stroud went back to 1972 for his Ten at Ten on Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM, the Drive.

This date, I was a senior at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb and busy taking education classes so I could teach social studies in high school when I graduated in May 1973.

These were the songs Stroud played:

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP--  Argent

I SAW THE LIGHT--  Todd Rundgren

FROM THE BEGINNING--  Emerson Lake & Palmer

GO ALL THE WAY--  Raspberries

SENTIMENTAL LADY--  Fleetwood Mac

DIRTY WORK--  Steely Dan

ZIGGY STARDUST--  David Bowie

COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE--  Dr. Hook

BRANDY--  Looking Glass

HONKY CAT--  Elton John

The #1 song this date was "Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me" by Mac Davis, the #1 album was "Chicago 5" by Chicago and the #1 movie was "Superfly."

Bob always has listeners pick their favorite song played of the ten and mine was "Brandy."

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "There's A Port In A Western Bay And It Serves A Hundred Ships A Day."  Answer below.  --RoadDog


"Brandy"
