Poll: June 1972 Songs

  June 1972.  I'm eight years old.  My second year living in Mannheim, Germany.  As my Dad was stationed in the last years of his Army service.

  As far as music is concerned.  I'm just starting to get hooked on American Top 40.  But not as much as I would later on.  Still, I knew the big hits of the day. 

    For this latest poll 37 songs were picked to vote on. Here are my rankings.  Listen to this countdown at popgoldradio.com
