The Temptations were coming back stronger thanever. Since the group's recent socially aware material was showing less chart power,producer Norman Whitfield polished up Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me), which he had written with Barren Strong a couple of years earlier. Whitfield put Eddie Kendricks back in the lead vocalist slot and recaptured the old sound flawlessly.As a results, for the first time in nearly two years the Temptations went all the way to #1

1971

1973

The year that saw the agony of United States troops involvement in Vietnam end--only to be replaced by the anguish of the Watergate scandal--also saw developments that affected the course of popular music.In 1973, for the first time, car radios were reguired by law to receive FM, and the first oil embargo drove up the price of vinyl.

1973

The music itself was changing with soul music receding in popularity. Stax still fielded occasional crossover hits with the Staples and Johnnie Taylor, but only Al Green charted consistently with the once-mighty Memphis sound. He reached the top 10 twice in 1973, with Call Me (Come Back Home) and Here I Am (Come and Take Me)

Maureen McGovern was an unknown, part-time folk singer when 20th Century Records executive Russ Regan had her cut The Morning After, which he needed for the sound track of The Poseiden Adventure. The record took off only after the song won an Academy Award.

Maureen McGovern recorded We May Never Love like this Again and won another Oscar-winning theme from another disaster film, The Towering Inferno, but lighting didn't strike twice. Nor did she score with Can You Read My Mind from the blockbuster Superman in 1979, but later that year she regained the top 20 with Different Worlds, from the TV sitcom Angle.
