1972 - A Soundtrack
It might be the radio and the morning paper, it might be your iPod and a mag on the subway, it might be a 5 CD random selection playing on the stereo as you're sitting there on the couch absorbed in that hot hardcover... like movies and real life, reading has a soundtrack.

1972 was not only the first year of the 21st century, it was an amazing year for music. Here are just a few of the tunes that are the backbeat of the year and the book.
