Robert W. Morgan is on top of his game guiding us through the GOLDEN YEAR 1971.
In the news: there is tragedy for the Soviet space program. Who won Super Bowl 5, Best Picture and the Frazer/Ali fight? On the political front, Nixon is battling the nation’s woes with drug addiction and the war in Indochina.
12 “heavy hits” (copyright: The Real Don Steele) are featured, interspersed with snippets of some of the year’s other top songs. The set list is, for the most part, straight off the Billboard year-end charts.
Al Green shares his feelings of loneliness; Bee Gee Robin Gibb reveals how quickly the hits roll; Tony Orlando explains a “structure malfunction”; and Donny Osmond experiences the loss of a “perfect take.”
