Summer of '72-- Part 7

IN A BROKEN DREAM--  PYTHON LEE JACKSON--  A band out of Australia.  You're thinking to yourself that it sounds just like Rod Stewart.  Well, it is him on lead vocals.  The story goes that the band was in the U.K. and commissioned Rod Stewart to sing lead vocal on a few tracks they didn't feel their lead singer was right for.  The tracks remained unreleased until the summer of '72 when Stewart became the biggest thing on the planet.  They released it and it became a mini hit here in the states.  Both powerhouse stations here in Chicago played it.

SUFFRAGETTE CITY--  DAVID BOWIE--  No one knew just what to make of the latest incarnation of David Bowie and the Spoders from Mars.  Ziggy Stardust was about two weeks old now.

TAKE IT WASY--  EAGLES--  New band off a self-titled album.  Their first hit.  (And good ol' Route 66 at that corner in Winslow, Arizona.)
CHUG ALL NIGHT--  EAGLES--  Something back then that we believed we could do all the time.  .  A deep track from that album.  (I could chug maybe one now...well, probably not.)

CONQUISTADOR--  PROCUL HARUM--  From the album Procul Harum Live at the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.  Great live version of a song from their first album in 1967.
HOT & NASTY--  HUMBLE PIE--  Smokin' is their latest album and first without Peter Frampton.

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE--  STAPLE SINGERS-- (From Chicago.)
ROCKET MAN--  ELTON JOHN--  His current hit song.  (Not to be confused with "Space Oddity."  "Can you hear me Major Tom?")
