The third volume of Rhino subsidiary Flashback Records' '70s Radio Hits series is focused on the late spring and summer of 1970, presenting ten Top 40 songs that entered the charts in that period, four of them gold records.

The third volume of Rhino subsidiary Flashback Records' '70s Radio Hits series is focused on the late spring and summer of 1970, presenting ten Top 40 songs that entered the charts in that period, four of them gold records. Many of the artists are one- or two-hit wonders: "Tighter, Tighter" was Alive and Kicking's only Top Ten hit, as was R. Dean Taylor's "Indiana Wants Me," and the Top Five, gold-selling "In the Summertime" is the only chart entry Mungo Jerry ever scored. For Edwin Starr, "War" was one of only two Top Ten pop hits, and the same thing is true for Sugarloaf and "Green-Eyed Lady." The other five acts, R&B stalwarts Ike & Tina Turner, teen idol Bobby Sherman, soul music perennials the Spinners, and early-'60s comeback stories Gene Chandler and Brian Hyland, were more substantial pop stars, but not by much. Thus, these songs are sometimes better known than the artists who recorded them. Those who were listening to AM Top 40 radio in the summer of 1970 will remember them, and others may discover some pleasant, if weightless, pop music. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
