Forty Years Ago Last Month-- The Summer of 1970-- Part 7

I think Bob Stroud is going to do the month of August 1970 tomorrow so now would be a good time to wrap up his trip back to July 4, 1970.

When he comes back from break, he plays a part of another song that was popular back then as well.

These are those "break" songs:

LOVE ON A TWO-WAY STREET-- MOMENTS-- a traffic violation.
WHICH WAY YOU GOING BILLY-- POPPY FAMILY-- hanging on the charts (Personally, I think Bob just couldn't bear to bring himself to play the full versions of these songs.)

GIMME DAT THING-- PIPKINS-- from summer to summer there are sometimes things that are just unexplainable. This is one of those unexplainable things. By a studio group that called themselves the Pipkins, not the Barney Pipkins. (Hey, I really liked this song. "That's right, that's right, I'm sad and blue because I can't do the ___________.")
CLOSE TO YOU-- CARPENTERS-- debuting 40 years ago today. They had previously had a minor hit with the Beatles' "Ticket to Ride." The first of countless million-sellers.

SAVE THE COUNTRY-- LAURA NYRO-- an appropriate song written by the late-great Laura Nyro. (You mean we had problems back in 1970?)
And a song from Todd Rundgren's first solo album called "Runt."
