Reel Radio 1970

[JIM]

?z? I posted this link a long time ago but since there are a lot
of new members I thought I would
share it again. www.reelradio.com
in the search box enter WQAM and
it brings up a WQAM air check from
1970 featuring Karen introducing
there new release Close To You!!
Its at the end but its worth the
wait and is oh so cool. The site
is fun to research if you have
memories of 70's radio and American
Top 40 and you can still listen to
the fantastic times as the Carpenters made there way up and down the charts during the early
70's on American Top 40.
Those old memories.

%?? Hi Jim, thanks for the link. I remember 70's radio very well. It was a lot of fun and very diverse. I can remember listening to one of the popular radio stations of 1975. When I tuned in they were playing Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You". Next was Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue", then came Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom", and then came Carpenters' "Only Yesterday" followed by Leon Russell's "Tight Rope" from 1972 (maybe the order the songs were played was different - but all these songs were played in that first set I tuned in for. I also remember them playing "Magic" by Pilot, "Morning Side Of The Mountain" by Donny and Marie, "Jackie Blue" by Ozark Mountain Daredevils, "Long Tall glasses (I Can Dance) by Leo Sayer, "Best Of My Love" by the Eagles, "Lady Marmalade" by LaBelle and "Boogie On Reggae Woman" by Stevie Wonder. I was 15 and still shared a bedroom with my brother and this for some reason has remained a vivid memory for me.

Jimbo - thanks man for sending me the link, and for the commercial from the Florida Radio Station featuring Carpenters. It was a real kick to listen to Karen and Richard indentifying the radio station. I'd never listened to this before, so it was a lot of fun.

You're the best, my man.
