Summer of '72-- Part 8

Music on your radio and in your album collection July 1, 1972.  Friend Frank calls 1972 the best year of hislife, but wouldn't go into details.

I THINK I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF--  ELTON JOHN-- From the #3 album on local charts, Honky Chateau.  A good deep track from side one.
ALONE AGAIN (NATURALLY)--  GILBERT O'SULLIVAN--  Brand new and one of the biggest hits of the summer and definitely his biggest-ever hit.  (Okay, got me humming it.  Thanks a lot!!)

YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON--  RANDY NEWMAN--  From his new album, Sail Away, from side 2, the original version.  (Before old Joe "covered" it.)
SCHOOL'S OUT--  ALICE COOPER--  Brand new and just released. Title track from the album.  (And the name of our boat.  Thanks Alice.  Got any brownies?)

SMOKE ON THE WATER--  DEEP PURPLE--  Great albums out all summer, including Machine Head.
LEAN ON ME--  BILL WITHERS--  (The song that just WOULDN'T end.)

TROGLODYTE--  JIMMY CASTOR BUNCH--  Good for a couple two, three hits in the early 70s.  Their biggest hit.  (She was one of the Butt sisters.)
GOING DOWN--  Released in May, the self-titled album was now a couple months old.  (A real pleasure hearing this one that you usually don't hear too often.)
