Wow, spring of 1971… seems like a long time ago. Probably because it was. I was the same age as my youngest son is now, finishing up 5th grade. So what was playing on the pop charts?
- Joy To The World - Three Dog Night
- What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
- Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) - Temptations
- She's A Lady - Tom Jones
- Another Day - Paul McCartney
- Put Your Hand In The Hand - Ocean
- Me And Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
- Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted - Partridge Family
- For All We Know - Carpenters
- One Toke Over The Line - Brewer & Shipley
Pretty nice set of songs, there. So what other songs were on the Hot 100 that a young rocker would like? There’s a lot, but here’s some of my favorites:
- Eighteen - Alice Cooper (#27)
- Temptation Eyes - Grass Roots (#24)
- Oye Como Va – Santana (#29)
- Love Her Madly – Doors (#45)
- Lucky Man - Emerson, Lake & Palmer (#50)
- Layla - Derek & The Dominos (59)
- Freedom - Jimi Hendrix (#71)
- C'mon – Poco (#75)
- Sit Yourself Down - Stephen Stills (#76)
- Indian Reservation (The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation) – Raiders (#90)
