Professor Of Rock has released the video below, along with the following introduction…
“Coming up, we jump inside the time machine and travel back to a year of radio magic, as we count down the top song of the bicentennial. Including the story of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, an epic track that a major label tried to bury because it was too epic, too spectacular. Freddie Mercury got even by leaking it to the radio on purpose. It became the biggest song of the ’70s! There was Aerosmith’s breakout smash, ‘Dream On’, which was written when he was barely 14 years old. Then there was the throwaway song, ’50 Ways To Leave Your Lover’ that a Paul Simon wrote as a joke with his toddler to teach him how to rhyme. And then there was ‘Take It To The Limit’ that was written and sung by the backup singer of the Eagles, but his lead vocal was so powerful; it became the show stopper of all their live shows thereafter. Many people buy a ticket just to hear that one note. It’s our countdown of the Top 10 Songs of ’76..NEXT on Professor of Rock.”
