(Finished March 31st, 2020) The Top 5 Songs + #100 Ranked Song Every Year I've Been Alive Part One: 1970, 1971, 1972

Hello,

I was hatched in June of 1967, the #1 about the week I was born was Aretha Franklin's "Respect". If that isn't exactly accurate, it's pretty close. And it's close enough that I will take it. These rankings are from Billboard magazine.

1970:

R.I.P. Aretha, she was so incredible. 100) Aretha Franklin "Call Me":

5) Edwin Starr "War":

4) B.J. Thomas "Raindrops Falling On My Head":

3) The Guess Who "American Woman":

2) The Carpenters "They Long To Be Close To You":

1) Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Water":

1971:

100) Perry Como "Somos Novios (It's Impossible)":

5) The Bee Gees "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart":

4) The Osmonds "One Bad Apple":

This was a double sided A single according to Wikipedia. 3) Carole King "It's Too Late/ I Feel The Earth Move":

2) Rod Stewart "Maggie May/ Reason To Believe":



His version he made of this song several years later is a lot better, although this version is fine.



This is the mentioned above version that I enjoy so much more.

1) Three Dog Night "Joy To The World":

1972:

100) The Isley Brothers "Pop That Thang":

5) Sammy Davis Jr. "Candy Man":

4) Harry Nilsson "Without You":

3) Don McLean "American Pie":

2) Gilbert O'Sullivan "Alone Again":
