Where To Watch
Sorry, Millennials, only Boomers can remember who sang the number 1 songs of summer 1972
It was the summer of “Lean On Me,” “Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl),” “Song Sung Blue” and “I’ll Take You There.” Can you name all these Seventies artists?
It’s hard to believe the summer of 1972 was 50 years ago. The Godfather had just hit theaters that March and a young filmmaker named Martin Scorsese teamed with producer Roger Corman to make the Depression-era crime drama Boxcar Bertha. It was the summer that ushered in the premieres of The Waltons and M*A*S*H that September – two shows that reflected the current moment by looking into the past.
But the music from that time is arguably the most memorable part. It’s difficult to find tunes easier to listen to than the hits released that summer. There were timeless classics like “Lean On Me” and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and forgotten gems like “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me.”
There were 10 songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100 between May and September, 1972. Can you match the correct artist to each number one song?
