Robert W. Morgan opens the series with music and news from the GOLDEN YEAR 1972.
In the news: The Democrat Party thinks someone is watching them; more Nixon?; Gov. George Wallace can’t dodge this bullet; and tragedy at the Olympics.
14 chart-topping hits are featured, interspersed with snippets of some of the year’s other top songs. Accept it: we will “get you hooked” on the GOLDEN YEARS! Among other things, you’re going to stay for a sugar high from the man with the sweets, you will cherish an opportunity to replace your old key, have a slice of your favorite desert – plus a “shot” to wash it down – and a chance to lean on Bill!
Mac Davis and Gilbert O’Sullivan give us lessons in songwriting; Don McLean talks about “hidden messages”, and what inspired Roberta Flack?
