Casey Kasem's American Top 40 - The 70s

Number ones on May 15, 1971:

Billboard Hot 100: Joy To The World – Three Dog Night
Cash Box Top 100: Joy To The World – Three Dog Night
Country: I Won't Mention It Again – Ray Price
R&B: Never Can Say Goodbye – Jackson 5
Adult contemporary: Me & You & A Dog Named Boo – Lobo
Latin: Nasty Sex – La Revolución De Emiliano Zapata
Album: 4 Way Street – Crosby Stills Nash & Young

I can hear IRBS complaining, "If a dog can have a name, why couldn't that stupid horse have a name?!" :p

Nasty Sex is a warning to promiscuous women to be more discriminating about who they sleep with: "Can't you see this kind of sex is gonna let you down?" (English translation)

 
Elvis Presley's Burning Love, featuring background vocals by J.D. Sumner & The Stamps, was number one on the November 11 1972 Cash Box Top 100. On the November 11 1972 Billboard Hot 100, it was #14 after peaking at #2 two weeks earlier. Here is a live performance at the Honolulu International Center, January 14, 1973. Lilo and Stitch like Elvis. I wonder if they were in the audience.
