Summer of 1975-- Part 5: July 5, 1975: "Jackie Blue"

From Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots on Chicago's Drive, WDRV, 97.1 FM.  This is his second installment from that summer with parts 3 and 4 coming up the first Sundays of August and September.  These are the songs that were playing on the radio (here in Chicago mostly WLS and WCFL, though there were a lot of FM stations at the time as well.  These are also songs we played on our albums on the stereo.  Using surveys, these are ones that were playing July 5, 1975.
