Sunday Showcase November 15, 1970

This look back at the Sunday Showcase 49 years ago is brought to you by Hi-Fi Corner. A vintage Marantz receiver will be the perfect gift for the hipster in your East Nashville life. $449 in 2019 dollars would be $2,971 according to online inflation calculator I used. I think that's a little steep.



What could you expect to be hearing on Top 40 radio on your new Marantz receiver in November of 1970? Here's the Top Ten Songs in Nashville along with a best bet to be hitting the Top Ten soon. 


The Partridge Family were top of the charts in Nashville as the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" fell to 3rd. 





The Carpenters make the list with "We've Only Just Begun" which is a masterpiece. 




The television show Hee Haw has added a computer to be used when filming episodes at the Channel 5 WLAC studios. I never knew Junior Samples was a computer nerd. 



Thanksgiving is coming up fast, but don't worry if you haven't had enough time to get a turkey. Morrison's Cafeteria can take care of you. 


Three Dog Night were coming to town on Saturday November 21. Their 2nd album of 1970 and 4th since 1968, Naturally, was released on November 18. "Mama Told Me Not To Come" had been the number 1 song earlier in the year.





If you couldn't get out to see Three Dog Night there was plenty of television choices on that Saturday.   


That's all for this week's Sunday Showcase. Come back next week and see what year we land in.
