November 1974

A little late this month, but continuing the series, (Jan, Feb, Mar ,Apr, June, July, Aug, Sep, Oct):

November 1974... 40 years ago this month. 

Meanwhile....  What was happening in music?

Albums released in November include:

• Heart Like A Wheel - Linda Ronstadt (#164 on Top 500 Albums)
• Cantamos - Poco
• Autobahn - Kraftwerk
• The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis
• Fire On The Mountain - Charlie Daniels Band

I've had all of these since they were current.....


As for singles, 4 songs topped the charts in (the 5 weeks) of November 1974:

• I Can Help - Billy Swan (10/23/74 and 10/30/74)

• You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - Bachman Turner Overdrive (11/9/74)

A few really good songs made their Top 40 chart debuts.  Notables (IMHO) include:

• Junior's Farm - Paul McCartney (peaked at #3)
• Bungle In the Jungle (peaked at #12)
• Ain't Too Proud To Beg - Rolling Stones (peaked at #17)
• Willie And The Hand Jive - Eric Clapton (peaked at #26)
