Episode 38: The Week Ending January 30, 1971 One Less Bell to Answer, Do I Hear You Knocking, Three Times?
If you could read my mind this week you’d say, we got to get you a woman. I am going through some lonely days. It’s impossible, but I swear I hear you knocking black magic woman, and I think I love you. You had better knock three times though, because that one man band next door is so loud, if I am in the rose garden, I might not hear you. This week we get up, get into it, and get involved in the Billboard Top 40 from the week of January 18, 1975. One bad apple don’t spoil this whole bunch of songs.
