LET 'EM IN-- PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS-- From Wings At the Speed of Sound- (Can that guy do pop or what?)
SUNRISE-- ERIC CARMEN-- When the Raspberries broke up, he went on a solo stint and released a really accessible. fine first album. It had a couple hits off it, including this one. (I don't remember this one.)
WITH YOUR LOVE-- JEFFERSON STARSHIP-- New album entitles Spitfire. A great Marty Balin tune.
BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY-- PETER FRAMPTON-- From Frampton Comes Alive, the number one album in town this date. (This album was all over the radio. I even went out and bought a copy.)
STILL THE ONE-- ORLEANS-- We lost a great vocalist this year, the group's Larry Hoppen. (I only heard a couple of their songs on the radio, including this one. But, I recently bought their greatest hit album and there is a lot of great stuff on it. Kind of a mix of Doobie Bros./Eagles.)
THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD-- GORDON LIGHTFOOT-- (Song about the last big ship to sink on the Great Lakes. I used to do a three-day mini-lesson on the ship with a Great Lakes tie-in and the song. We'd map out the places he mentioned. The wreck anniversary is coming up early next month.)
DON'T FEAR THE REAPER-- BLUE OYSTER CULT-- From the Agents of Fortune album.
PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC-- WOLD CHERRY-- One-hit wonder (But what a one-hit wonder. One of the great party songs ever. Can white boys get funky?)
DEVIL WOMAN-- CLIFF RICHARD-- English heartthrob breaking through in American Top Ten.
IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW-- CHICAGO-- The #1 song in Chicago by some home-grown boys. (Cousin Joe guessed this song on the first three notes. He is a big Chicago fan thanks to me.)
Hard to Believe This Was 36 Years Ago and Galaxies far Away. --RoadDog
