Sonic Sunday: My Birthday Edition

I haven't done a Sonic Sunday post in a while because...well, I don't know why. I guess I haven't been able to come up with any good themes recently. But since Friday was my birthday, I thought I'd post a selection of tunes that were popular the year I was born: 1973. So put your bellbottoms on, turn your speakers up and enjoy.


"Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," Jim Croce
"Behind Closed Doors," Charlie Rich
"Brother Louie," Stories
"China Grove," Doobie Brothers
"Could It Be I'm Falling In Love," The Spinners
"Crocodile Rock," Elton John
"Dancing In The Moonlight," King Harvest
"Dirty Work," Steely Dan
"Free Ride," Edgar Winter Group
"Heartbeat - It's A Lovebeat," The DeFranco Family
"Let's Get It On," Marvin Gaye
"Little Willy," Sweet
"Neither One Of Us," Gladys Knight & The Pips
"Over The Hills And Far Away," Led Zeppelin
"Stuck In The Middle With You," Stealers Wheel
"Superstition," Stevie Wonder
"The Joker," Steve Miller Band
"We're An American Band," Grand Funk Railroad
"You're So Vain," Carly Simon

And the #1 song on the day I was born:
"Killing Me Softly With His Song," Roberta Flack*

*Based on earlier research I'd done, I was always under the impression that "Crocodile Rock" was the #1 song on February 19, but all the info I'm coming up with now claims that it was actually the Roberta Flack tune. Until I get my time machine working, I guess there will always be a question in the back of my mind about the accuracy of this info.
