Music 1971 - 72
By, by, Miss American pie...
September

"Take me Home, Country Roads," John Denver
"Peace Train," Cat Stevens
"Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves," Cher
"Do You Know What I Mean?" Lee Michaels
"Superstar" Carpenters
"Only You Know And I Know" Delany & Bonnie
"Never My Love," The 5th Dimension
"One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)," Coven

Ain't nothing for sure? There is a surprising amount of disagreement in my "sources" over when songs were released. This list should be approximately right.
