WLS Top 30 for Week of November 8, 1971-- Part 1: 'Wild Night'

Fifty years ago this week, these were the top 30 songs in Chicago according to WLS, 890 AM.

*  Means it was climbing the charts.  The number after the artist is how high it got on the music charts.

HITBOUND:  

*STONES--  Neil Diamond      #14     Elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984.

30.  *BIRDS OF A FEATHER--  Raiders      #23       That old Joe South song.  Was Mark Lindsey still with the group back then?  Where was Paul Revere?

29.  *GOT TO BE THERE--  Michael Jackson     #4    His first solo effort.

28.  *FAMILY AFFAIR--  Sly & the Family Stone      #1      The story of two kids.  Definitely ahead of his time.

27.  *WILD NIGHT--  Van Morrison      #28       That is one great start to the song.  Gets you right into it.

26.  SWEET CITY WOMAN--  Stampeders      #8      You've just got to love any rock song with a banjo.
