Coming up, a year that was so great we had to reformat our countdown to 12 songs, truly compelling masterworks here... including the song All the Young Dudes by David Bowie, which he knew was a can’t miss smash. But he gave it to his favorite band, Mott the Hoople, who needed a hit or they were done. The song saved their career and became an all-time classic. Then there was the rookie Justin Hayward, who sent the legend Eric Burdon his demo tape, and it was rejected. But then, years later, Eric ended up covering the artist he scorned... As well as the Seals & Crofts feel good classic Summer Breeze with a melody played by a toy the singer found in the studio, that made it sound different than anything on radio… Then there were The Hollies, who were known for crafting pretty pop hits, who decided to rock out, the lead singer did his best John Fogerty impression, and the song Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress became a smash. But then he got sued by the man he mimicked and had to pay him half the royalties. It’s the countdown of the Top 12 Songs of 1972, NEXT on Professor of Rock!

We’re jumping in the time machine and heading back to the 70s… Here’s what happened: see if you can guess it…it was the year that peace appeared to be possible in Vietnam, at least it was a big campaign promise in Richard Nixon’s run for re-election. who won in a landslide over McGovern. The Olympics were marred by the massacre in Munich. In fashion, women wore maxi dresses, miniskirts, and knee-high socks, while men wore bell-bottoms, platform shoes, and turtleneck sweaters. In pop culture, The Godfather, one of the all-time greatest movies, ruled the theaters. The year was 1972 and in music… There was a rise in glam rock and the flourishing of singer-songwriters.
It was also the year that some of the best tracks of the Rock Era were released. On our countdown today, I’m going to include a couple of extra songs… It’s the Top 12 Songs of ’72 has a little bit of everything that moved the needle across 45s & raised the volume of transistor radios:
At #12, it’s “Summer Breeze” by the duo of Seals & Crofts—a timeless track that feels like the musical equivalent of sunlight filtering through windchimes on a front porch while enjoying an easy, carefree summer evening: Besides being one of the ultimate ‘feel good’ songs for the warmest of seasons, “Summer Breeze” also stands out because of an unexpected musical twist. That catchy melody line that threads through the song wasn’t played on some elaborate synthesizer or exotic instrument; it was actually performed on A child’s toy. A toy piano… That quirky, innocent sound gave the song an almost nostalgic purity, like something pulled straight from a sunlit memory.
The toy piano was actually an impromptu choice, and mostly because he happened to spot one in the studio. Apparently, he couldn't get a hold of anybody to give him permission to use the instrument, but it was already in tune and ready to go, so he incorporated it into the song, and it gave it a very unique ...
