Great show, but "The Happening" which was a #1 song in May 1967 should definitely have been in the countdown.

I'm also surprised that "The Happening" was overlooked-It was a great song.

Per Wikipedia,"The Happening" was the title song of an obscure movie-The cast included Anthony Quinn,Faye Dunaway,& Milton Berle-The plot revolves around four hippies who kidnap a retired Mafia mob boss & hold him for ransom-Not sure if this has ever been shown on a retro channel like Turner Classic Movies.

I'm definitely looking forward to this weekend's edition of the survey-This will be the third time that Dave Hoeffel will revisit the first six months of 1970.

Curious if the same songs will be played with the same positions on the Countdown. I will have to check the back pages of this Thread. Were '20 and '21 the same?

I just checked and Page 33 of this thread has last year's countdown, if anyone wants to compare. I sure will.

My records show that SXM has been playing something from the first 6 months of 1970 every year since 2017 and there haven't been any repeats yet. I'm guessing we'll get something unique again this year.

For this week's special survey,Dave will be using Dann Isbell's "Ranking The 70's" as his primary source.

Probably be songs that peaked in April, May or June 1970. Has anyone else noticed at Dave's closing that he stated the location of the show would be moving its location.

Looks like we'll be getting another special survey from 1967 in the near future-The 60's Gold channel is asking their listeners to vote for their favorite songs that were popular during that Summer Of Love.

We could see that the songs were getting longer in 1970--no extras as normally occurs. Show ended at 4:22, and next week is 1962, which is surprising as I thought there would be a 60's Summer Special, maybe songs with Summer in the title or lyrics. The Summer of Love Special should be great. The biggest song of that Summer (1967) was Windy.
