Day 13, Jan. 13: Soul of '72

My Top 1972 songs
by black musicians
I like more songs from 1972 than any other year.
This is just one of my Top 10 lists from that year.
1. "Too Late to Turn Back Now,"
by the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose
2. "Oh Girl," by the Chi-Lites
3. "Let's Stay Together," Al Green
4. "Use Me," by Bill Withers
New No. 5. "If You Don't Know Me By Now,"
Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes
(Thanks to Erik H. comment. How could I forget?
I love it and even have it on a 45 record!)
5. "Last Night (I Didn't Get to Sleep at All)," 
by the Fifth Dimension
6. "I'll Take You There," by the Pointer Sisters
7. "I Can See Clearly Now," by Johnnie Nash
8. "Everybody Plays the Fool," by the Main Ingredient
9. "Freddie's Dead," by Curtis Mayfield
10. "Family Affair," by Sly & the Family Stone

What do these five 1973 artists have in common?
B.W. Stevenson, Clint Holmes, Hurricane Smith,
Jud Strunk and Stories?

  1. I'd have a different No. 1 -- "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. I love Teddy Pendergrass.
