Song Was WRITTEN For a FAILED KID’S CARTOON…They MADE it the #1 Song of 1971 | Professor of Rock

1971 was a game-changing year in music history—a period when creativity exploded across genres, legendary albums dropped left and right, and artists redefined the sound of a new generation. Many refer to ’71 as the most pivotal and exciting of the Rock Era, and I wholeheartedly agree It’s top 3 easy. So I’m doing the impossible…I’m counting down the Top 10 Songs from this emblematic year. All 10 of these songs are legendary including Marvin Gaye's revolutionary song What's Going On which was written on a golf course by some drinking buddies. Another Joy to the World was written for a kid’s cartoon that never got off the ground so a band made it one of the biggest rock songs ever... and Take Me Home, Country Roads that came from the songwriter misreading a road sign and yet another by Led Zeppelin that was written as a joke but the fans took it very seriously and made them rock gods because of it… It all coming up on … on Professor of Rock! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive Producer Brandon Fugal Honorary Producers Kimberley Rumburg, Brent Gephart, Glenn Beardmore, Jennifer Selvidge, Carl Curcuruto ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out my Hand Picked Selection Below Professor's Store Van Halen OU812 Vinyl Album https://amzn.to/3tLsII2 The 80s Collection https://amzn.to/3mAekOq 100 Best Selling Albums https://amzn.to/3h3qZX9 Ultimate History of 80s Teen Movie https://amzn.to/3ifjdKQ 80s to 90s VHS Video Cover Art https://amzn.to/2QXzmIX Totally Awesome 80s A Lexicon https://amzn.to/3h4ilrk Best In Ear Headphones (I Use These Every Day) https://amzn.to/2ZcTlIl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check Out The Professor of Rock Merch Store -http://bit.ly/ProfessorMerch ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check Out Patron Benefits http://bit.ly/ProfessorofRockVIPFan Help out the Channel by purchasing your albums through our links!

Today I thought I’d aim for the impossible and try to count down the top 10 greatest songs of one of music’s greatest years! 1971. So after a few hours of listening to about 50 great songs from that year, I was able to whittle it down to 21. Then I bled and bled and bled until I got it down to 10. This was truly difficult. My only rule for these top 10 by year is that the song had to peak in the top 40 in that year. So let’s get into it. We kick off the countdown with one of the most universally loved songs of the Rock Era….” Joy to the World” by Three Dog Night at #10. Folk singer-songwriter Hoyt Axton originally wrote "Joy to the World" for an animated TV special that never got off the ground “The Happy Song.” While opening for Three Dog Night on tour, Hoyt realized the band was always on the lookout for unique material that they could interpret as their own, and he thought “Joy to the World” could be a great choice. It was actually a kid’s song and everyone in the band hated it, except for Chuck Negron. I had a really cool discussion about this massive smash with two of the Three Dogs- Chuck Negron, who sang the iconic lead vocal, and Danny Hutton. In Billboard Magazine’s year-end survey, “Joy to The World” by Three Dog Night was named the biggest single of 1971- owning the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 6 consecutive weeks, and achieved the same success in Canada and South Africa. At #9 on our countdown of the Top 10 songs of 1971, it’s Rod Stewart’s coming of age, “Maggie May:” “Maggie May” by Rod Stewart n his memoir, Rod: The Autobiography, Rod Stewart shared the story behind the inspiration for this song. He wrote: "At 16, I went to the Beaulieu Jazz Festival in the New Forest. I’d snuck in with some mates through an overflow sewage pipe. On a secluded patch of grass, I met an older woman who came on to me quite strongly in the beer tent.”
