1972 was the year that I was exposed to what I thought at the time was the greatest song I had ever heard in my life. I was only 8 years old and being a naive little kid I really didn't know any better. My grandparents owned a restaurant and the song was on the jukebox and in position A-1. I had never heard of the singer before so I had no clue about his contributions to music history prior to that one song. I know one thing and that is I wasted many quarters in that jukebox playing it over and over again. The song of course was 'My Ding-a-Ling" by Chuck Berry and sadly it was the only #1 song of his career.

1972 was an interesting year for top 40 music. The different genres all scored with hits on the charts. Rock, soft rock, country, soul, it was a diverse year for top 40 with a mixture of everything. About two years later in '74 is when the disco genre started coming around.
