Once again, a new entry has been posted to the 70s Muisc Mayhem blog. You can read my full review at the following link:

This week, the debut singles from May 20, 1970 are featured:
The Beatles - "The Long and Winding Road" b/w "For You Blue"
The Pipkins - "Gimme Dat Ding"
Smokey Robinson & the Miracles - "Who's Gonna Take the Blame"
Aretha Fraklin with the Dixie Flyers - "Spirit in the Dark"
Sly & the Family Stone - "I Want to Take You Higher"
Ike & Tina Turner - "I Want to Take You Higher"
The Temptations - "Ball of Confusion (That's What the World is Today)"
Three Dog Night - "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)"
Delaney and Bonnie and Friends - "Free the People"
Ginger Baker's Air Force - "Man of Constant Sorrow"
Luther Ingram - "Ain't That Loving You (For More Resons Than One)"
The Flaming Ember - "Westbound #9"
Eric Burdon & War - "Spill the Wine"
Little Richard - "Freedom Blues"
This week was another busy one, with 14 new songs (including a two-sided hit) making their debut on the Billboard Hot 100. Nine would reach the Top 40, with five making the Top 10 and two reaching #1. An end of an era was reached, as The Beatles called it a career. A new decade was beginning, and songs by The Temptations and War stretched the boundaries of what was "normal." On the other side of the coin, The Pipkins show up with a song targeted to kids that was seen as a novelty. Aretha Franklin gives us religion, as do Delaney & Bonnie. Two versions of the same song even appear.
