Where were you and what were you doing 40 years ago? These songs were playing on your radio June 3, 1971.
SOMEDAY NEVER COMES-- CCR-- Finally calling it a day, the title of the album is Mardi Gras and is universally panned, but there are a couple of good John Fogerty tunes. The band's final 45. (A real sad time for me as I am a BIG CCR fan.)
TAXI-- HARRY CHAPIN-- His debut album called Heads and Tails.
THICK AS A BRICK-- JETHRO TULL-- Both radio stations (WLS and WCFL) have it as the #1 selling album in Chicago. (This song was probably why they won a Grammy years later for best Heavy Metal act. Really, Heavy Metal?)
IT DOESN'T MATTER-- STEVEN STILLS & MANASSAS-- At this point in time, CSN (and sometimes Y) are on hiatus from each other, off doing their own solo things. Steven Stills put together a group named Manassas and this double vinyl album is one of the biggest-selling ones.
OLD MAN-- NEIL YOUNG-- From his biggest-selling album, Harvest.
IMMIGRATION MAN-- NASH AND CROSBY-- Teaming up for the first time. (So, like the Beatles, the group was broken up, but we were still getting lots of music from them.)
I NEED YOU-- AMERICA-- Harmony was a big part of the Summer of '72. Their follow up hit to "Horse With No Name" from their debut album.
30 DAYS IN THE HOLE-- HUMBLE PIE-- Without Peter Frampton who had gone solo. From Smokin'.
One More Group to Come. --RoadDog
