 1971
TOP 100 CPS MUSIC CHART
Top hitmakers of 1971 included Cher, Olivia Newton John, Rod Stewart, Three Dog Night, Doors, James Taylor, Janis Joplin and The Temptations. Since 1977 I've enjoyed DJing and playing over a decade of some of the greatest ever to hit the airways. As a music programming specialist with over 30+ years experience in entertaining all ages the secret to success in our industry is the ability 'read' the crowd and anticipate what should be played to insure an enjoyable, festive and memorable time by all of your guest. I hope this chart is usfull in your quest for music. |
