Early 1970's, before disco, but the Bee Gees are still on the survey.
Didn't expect any Beatles, but Paul and George have albums listed.
A lot of laid back stuff like Carpenters and Bread.
Wasn't a big hit, but I liked Son Of My Father by Giorgio.
A few remakes like Joy, Lion Sleeps Tonight, The Way Of Love, I Can't Help Myself, Puppy Love.
Rod Stewart just starting out with Faces doing Stay With Me.
Grassroots are still one of my favorite groups. Charting with Glory Bound.
And of course there is Cher on the charts.

By 1972 the psychedelic and hard rock genres listeners had pretty much moved to the FM band, such as to KLOS and KMET in Los Angeles.
I was surprised to see the KFXM special on V.D. I haven't heard that term in years. I would imagine that most of today's youth may not be familiar with the term "Venereal Disease". Today it just seems kind of quaint, like have a spell of the "vapors". My high school had a teacher who was widely known as the "go to" person if you had issues/problems of those kind that were awkward to address directly to your parents, did yours?
"the vapors"... now that is a term I haven't heard spoken in a long, long time, since the 1890's at least!
Agree on SON OF MY FATHER by Moroder.
Loved this mini hit. It was a prelude of what
was to become the music of Donna Summer and
lots more by Moroder.
Great music producer at Casablana records.
The Sunset strip was sizzling with the
label there.
Ooooh, yeah. Sounds like it's time to put on my boogie shoes, and slide on down to the Triple Rock and listen to another great sermon by the Reverend Cleophis! We all need a little churchin' up sometimes, yeah, man.
