Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

WLS Top 30 for Week of October 11 1971-- Part 1: 'Shaft'

These are the tip songs in Chicago FIFTY years ago according to Powerhouse radio station WLS, 890 AM.  Yep, AM radio.

*  Means the song was climbing the charts.  The number after the artist is how high the song got on the National Billboard Hot 100 charts.

HITBOUND

*YOU THINK YOU'RE HOT STUFF-  Jean Knight      #57   Sounds a lot like her hit "Mr. Big Stuff."  One comment called it "Mr. Big Stuff Pt.1."  Love the lines from the song:  "But I am the one who's gonna cool you off" and "I know what you're after, But you're not gonna get it."

30.  UNCLE ALBERT /ADMIRAL HALSEY--  Paul and Linda McCartney   #1    Born James Paul McCartney in Liverpool on June 18, 1942.

29.  *ABSOLUTELY RIGHT--  Five Man Electric Band    #26    At 2:17, way too short.  You just start getting into it and its over.  From Ontario, Canada.

28.  *ONLY YOU KNOW AND I KNOW--  Delaney & Bonnie     #20   Written by Dave Mason.   Follow up to "Never Ending Song of Love."

27.  WEDDING SONG--  Paul Stookey     #24   I wonder how many weddings this song has been played at?  Where are Peter and Mary?

26.  *SHAFT--  Isaac Hayes      #1    "Theme from Shaft"  One tough song in all aspects:  from music to singing.  Makes you feel invincible after hearing it.  His biggest hit.  Follow up to "Never Can Say Goodbye."

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "I Don't Mean To Mislead You, It's Just My Craziness Comin' Through."  Answer below.  --RoadDog


"Only You Know and I Know"
