I figure “Proud Mary” is about hippies lounging on the banks of the Russian River as they roll their joints.

This was his first song to chart, a fine start to a long career. It came in at #24 this week on its way to the Top 10.

Jackson Browne: “Doctor My Eyes”

[Liberty Valance]

I do love that tune. One of his best. Thanks for spinnin' the tunes LUV!

Billy Joe Shaver - Freedom's Child

[Publius]

It started as a British folk tune, first recorded by the Kingston Trio in 1962. Flack slowed it down drastically so that it almost stands still, and she turned it into a classic. It came in at #3 this week.

Roberta Flack: “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, Luv. Thanks for spinning the tunes for the troops. ((HUGS))

I feel asleep at my keyboard last night. A fitting ending to a really rough week at work. d:o)

[Publius]

I enjoy Young’s voice harmonizing with others, but I never could take his voice solo. This came in at #2 this week.

Neil Young: “Heart of Gold”

[Publius]

There had never been anything like this song, with its infectious internal rhythm, odd harmonies and symbolism. It was inspired by Dali and Escher paintings, coming in at #1.

America: “A Horse with No Name”

And so we end one week of music history 41 years ago. See you next week! Cue the Rockumentary theme!

San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night, Publius, and rest well. Thanks for all the tidbits about the various songs and their artists. Thanks for helping honor the troops, and thank you for your service to our country.

Where were you on Thursday, April 13, 1972?

I was at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany, studying nineteenth-century German history, the history of socialism, post-WWII East European history and Russian. On Thursday, I would have been going to class and hitting the books, but I would certainly have been looking forward to Friday evening, when we would have our Stammtisch, or "table for regulars," a party at which we would socialize and make merry.

Saturday, when the student union was closed, I would go into town to eat, most likely at an Italian restaurant. In only a couple of weeks after arriving, I had eaten at every Italian restaurant in town.

Here are some of the hits of the day:

• Don't Let Him Touch You--The Angelettes (a moderate hit in Europe that went nowhere in the US, but it seems to have finally taken off on the Internet)

• Am Tag als Conny Cramer Starb (The Day Conny Kramer Died)--Juliane Werding (a song about a doper who dies of an overdose--the melody should be familiar if you followed the pop charts at the time)

• Amarillo--Tony Christie (a big hit in Europe, but not in the US)

• Sweet-Talking Guy--The Chiffons

• How Do You Do--The Windows

• Ich Will Betteln, Ich Will Stehlen (I want to beg, I want to steal)--The New Seekers

• Schöne Maid (beautiful girl)--Tony Marshall

• Der Puppenspieler von Mexiko (the puppeteer from Mexico)--Roberto Blanco (I like this one far better than the English-language version by Tom Jones, in which he gets on his liberal soap box)

  And a couple of oldies:

• Monika--Ulli Martin (1971)

• In der Bundesrepublik, Da Machen Alle Gern Musik (in the Federal Republic, everyone likes to make music)--Rita Pavone (1971)

[Cindy]

All good. Thanks Fiji Hill.

I like that Kate Smith song, “Here Comes the Sun.”
