“Music is a piece of art that goes in your ears then travels straight to your heart.”
November 1971 was a remarkable month for new album releases. You can find eight songs from them below. Some of them were acoustic ballads, one was a #1 funk classic, and the last three will most certainly grab your attention!

Good morning, Don. I had to decide whether to include a song from Billy Joel’s debut album or Sly, but since Sly’s song went to #1 (and the fact I know you really enjoy him), I went with the funky man.
November 1971 marked the beginning of a huge musical shift. of that, there was no doubt.
ROCK ON, MY BROTHER!
I listened to it and I liked it sot of not exactly my favorite music thanks though!
Hi Susan. Thanks for the comment. I know it’s not your “type” of music but I have to spread the genres around. I think you’re a “stuck in the 50s” kind of person (and that is very much okay!). I appreciate the fact that you listened. π
great trip back down memory lane! Sure wish I was putting the lime in the coconut somewhere on a beach since it is a balmy 25 degrees here…LOL Have a wonderful day Ray and stay warm!
Hi Penny. I’m warmer than you. It’s a balmy 29 up here! I’ll send the limes your way. π
Have a super day! π₯°
Not sure the Ricky Nelson or Grand Funk numbers ever resonated with me, but I could climb the Stairway to Heaven on an endless loop…love that arrangement
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know, your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

Hi Ray! Since Iβve been gone I felt that I should go all the way back so that I wouldnβt miss any of the medleys. So I started with this one, and wow what a treat. Itβs so fun to go back and be nostalgic for a while and this certainly was a trip back I loved all of your selections, they were great thank you so much! You are the best DJ anybody could ask for!
Thank you, Sandy (and welcome back!)
1971 truly was a remarkable year so I’m very happy you enjoyed it. π
Have a wonderful day, Sunshine! π₯°
