Willie Mays hits HR 629 / Giants win the division into James Taylor "You've Got A Friend"
Would Renee segue into Carole King next?
ETA: Guess not
-
VHM Chi-Lites, still lovely despite overexposure.

The Chi-Lites "Have You Seen Her"
-
Willie Mays hits HR 629 / Giants win the division into James Taylor "You've Got A Friend"

I'd love a deep track from Tapestry. The Peak did a Sept-specific '71 today; we got "Smackwater Jack". which was the B-side of "So far Away" at the time.
-
Ike & Tina Turner "Proud Mary"
-
butweregonnatakethebeginningofthissong and do it... eazy.
Tina's pumpin' 'tane; Ike's snortin' 'caine. Also overexposed, but it's easy to forget how audacious this was at the time.
-
Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine"
Renee playing it safe with the hits.
-
stop cueing up jingles, Renee.
i know i know i know i know that "Ain't No Sunshine" is also an Oldies 107.3 staple.

Looney Tunes into Rod Stewart "Every Picture Tells A Story"

War "Slippin' Into Darkness"
-
War slip into darkness, yo. Except for EJ and Rod, it's been big hit singles today.
-
$250 million to Lockheed into Allman Brothers Band "Revival (Love Is Everywhere)"
-
Lockheed: too big to fail?
BOS2 and proxy of Geoff, ABB "Revival".
-
Apparently Lockheed is too big to fail.
ETA: Haha, Jinxy Lockheed Mike.
-
Shaft into Isaac Hayes "Theme From Shaft"
-
BOS3 trailer for Shaft; uber-uber-LN "Theme From Shaft"
-
Apparently Lockheed is too big to fail.
ETA: Haha, Jinxy Lockheed Mike.
we need to hear a clip from Deep Throat in a '73 set; then we can say Harry Reems was too big to fail.

roller skates... bicycles... they all have wheels, don't they? Sheesh, lighten UP, people!

Elton John "Where To Now St. Peter?"
BTW, this is from Tumbleweed Connection, released in Oct 1970 -- Renee violated her own year-of-LP-release rule, tho' the sing was certainly an FM staple thru early '71.
-
Renee: BOS Isaac Hayes; 4-way tie for VHM between Chi-Lites, Ike & Tina, Rod, and War

If I was going to nitpick, War's "Slippin' Into Darkness" charted in '72...

TOTHK - Melanie "Brand New Key" - 1971
This has only appeared once before -- Dave played it in 2002 as a Hit From Hell. I don't agree
with that assessment, I think it's a charming little pop ditty.

Smackwater Jack would have been a great bust-out for 10@10...

A somewhat underrated album. I'd love to hear Amoreena on 10@10; it'd make another great
bust-out.

agreed, and kind of amazing that Dave never played "Amoreena" . He never played "Smackwater Jack" either but then he was surprisingly underappreciative of Tapestry, given its stature, and of Ms King generally. A bunch of spins for "So Far Away" and "Jazzman" and that's about it.

this is also the way I always understood it:
The line, "Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans" is actually "Pumped a lot of 'Pane," as in propane. He was pumping gas.

OK, but 'tane would be short for "octane", also a gas reference, so we're closer than you thought. ;)

Who pumps propane? I've always heard this as 'tane, short for octane. (Weren't the gas
companies always touting their high octane ratings in the '60s?) Given the singer just mentioned
cleaning a lot of plates in Memphis, it seems they're talking about low-wage jobs, such as gas
station attendant. Louisiana has a significant fraction of the U.S. refinery capacity, but I doubt
that's what the song is referring to.
BTW, I thought this set was just good. Given that 1971 is perhaps the best year ever, that
actually means this wasn't a very strong show (I grade on a curve). 1971 sets can and should
always be great, and this one wasn't.

In retrospect, I judge there is a very high plateau in popular music composed of 1969, 1970, and
1971. It's really a toss-up for me whether '70 or '71 is better -- they are very, very close. 1969
is only slightly lower. YMMV.
