The Time Machine treks back to 1973 this time. The year Paul McCartney released his most successful post Beatles album. Bruce Springsteen dropped his debut album. Both Bob Marley & Elton John released two albums in the same year! Stevie Wonder led us to Higher Ground. Pink Floyd’s The Dark SIde of the Moon album had the longest chart run ever. The Staple Singers continued to warm our hearts and souls & Watergate followed President Nixon everywhere. It's all 1973 our year on this episode of Time Machine.
