“When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, It’s a wonder I can think at all, and though my lack of education hasn’t hurt me none, I can read the writing on the wall.” Opening lyrics of “Kodachrome” written by Paul Simon (1973).
It was early June 1973: I was driving to my Glenvar High School graduation ceremony and I heard “Kodachrome” from Paul Simon being played on Top 40 WROV 1240 AM Roanoke, Virginia. It was a perfect song for my listening ears, as I was transitioning from life as a high school student into new life adventures as a young adult.
As I reflect back on the 50 years since I completed high school, I am remembering the music from my youth. With this music blog message, I will be counting down what I consider to be my favorite top 40 hits from 1973.
The number 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 the day I graduated from high school was “My Love” by Paul McCartney & Wings.”
I have fond memories of listening to top 40 radio in 1973. It was the year I turned 18 and started my freshman year at Virginia Western Community College.
During daylight hours, I exclusively listened to Roanoke’s legendary WROV 1240 AM. This station featured a Top 40 format and was the number one top-ranked radio outlet in my city.

Bart Prater and Larry Bly were my two favorite WROV DJs back in 1973. When WROV reduced power at sundown, I would listen to 3 top 40 AM radio stations located hundreds of miles away from my Virginia home.

After sundown, I would tune into three 50,000-watt clear channel AM stations: WLS 890 AM Chicago, WCFL 1000 AM (Super CFL) and WABC 770 AM New York.
For my countdown of ’73 superfine singles, I used two sources in my calculation for the biggest records in this category: Billboard and Cash Box magazines’ year-end top 100 singles charts for 1973.
As I surveyed the prominent hits from 50 years ago, the countdown is entirely based on my opinions. My selections are songs that I deem to be culturally, historically, aesthetically significant, meaningful or relevant.
An interesting fact that I learned when researching this topic: Billboard and Cash Box year-end charts both agreed on the biggest two hits for 1973:
1 TIE A YELLOW RIBBON ROUND THE OLE OAK TREE – Tony Orlando & Dawn
2 BAD, BAD LEROY BROWN – Jim Croce
Before I start my countdown of superfine singles, I want to share 10 of my favorite songs that were not ranked by either Cash Box or Billboard on their top 100 year-end charts for 1973.

1. You’re So Vain—Carly Simon
Peak Positions on Charts: #1 Billboard Hot 100, #1 Cashbox Top 100, 7th Biggest Song of 1973 (CB)
My number 1 selection was written by singer-songwriter Carly Simon and is considered her signature song. Single is ranked at #92 on Billboard Magazines “Greatest Songs of All Time” listing.
Lyrics are brilliant as she describes her narcissistic lover. In real life, Simon says that her song is actually about 3 men. However, fifty years later, she remains secretive about revealing the identity of these fellow.
I consider this masterpiece as one of the best epic story songs from the 70s. Without a doubt, “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon is my number 1 best single for 1973.
That wraps up what I consider to be my favorite and best top 40 hits for 1973. I completely understand that my listing of songs in this category was written from my point of view and is subjective.
If you were creating a similar register of excellent 1973 hits, your tabulation may be totally different. What do you consider to be best preeminent singles from ’73? I hope you will comment below.
Listening to music from the golden age of Top 40 radio will always have a special place in my heart. I still cherish and fondly remember my favorite superfine singles of 1973. Rock on!

Great songs in 1973!
Jamie: What are your favorite 1973 songs in this category?
You’re so Vain, Dancing in the Moonlight, My Love. So many it’s hard to pick. Thanks for reminding me of Pieces of April. I always liked that one, too.
Once again you came up with an outstanding article and lists. Of the songs you mention these would most definitely be in my top 10- Peaceful Easy Feeling and Tequila Sunrise – basically anything by the Eagles!, Ramblin Man -Allman Brothers, Danny’s Song, Wildflower- Skylark- Midnight Train to Georgia and I’ve Got a Name- Jim Croce as I love just about everything he ever did. Another great read Dave!
David, I like that list, but I will rearrange a few for my top 5 starting with my 1#
1. “Could it be I’m Falling in Love” – Spinners.
They became my 2nd all time group behind EFW but that song was so meaningful because love had escaped me a few times and that song epitomized the year for me.
2. “Neither One of Us, Wants to be the first to say goodbye”. Gladys Knight and the pips” Another Love Story.
3. “Midnight Train to Georgia”
Gladys Knight and the Pips. – Enough said.
4. “Ain’t NoWoman Like The One I Got – 4 Tops
5. “Do it Again” Steely Dan. Love all their music
Honorable mention
“ Could it be I’ve Fallin in Love and “One of a Kind Love Affair Is” – Spinners. The whole album was the bomb!
Perfect choice for #1 song!!!
carly simon’s you’re so vain would have been my #1 from this list.
Great read! You brought back some great memories for me. June 1, 1973 was my high school graduation, and I clearly recall listening to Kodachrome, The Right Thing to Do, and No More Mr. Nice Guy before I left my house for the ceremony. The only thing I would change is moving My Love into the mix of the greats of ’73. After all, it was the number one song for the week of both our graduations, and it stayed at the top of the chart for four weeks, making it worthy of being in the top 25. It was always playing on the jukebox in my cafeteria and at the local Pizza Hut where we gathered often in May of that year. I can’t hear that song today and be transported to that special time in my life. We had great music back in our day, no doubt about it!
Here’s my go at it, from an Aussie’s perspective. Every song here charted in the top 100 here in 1973. To make it a bit more diverse, I didn’t double up on any acts (which I could have easily done with the Raspberries, the Doobies, the Carpenters, Elton, Barry Blue, Wings & Chicago). Australian entries are noted with *. Any songs you don’t know have a listen – 1973 was a great year for music. 🙂
Interesting note – one of the backing vocalists on Susie Darlin’ (a remake of the Robin Luke hit from 1958) was none other than our Olivia.
1 Do it Again – Steely Dan
2 Let’s Pretend – Raspberries
3 You’re So Vain – Carly Simon
4 I Got a Name – Jim Croce
5 Photograph – Ringo Starr
6 Summer (The First Time) – Bobby Goldsboro
7 China Grove – The Doobie Brothers
8 Sing – The Carpenters
9 Do You Wanna Dance? – Barry Blue
10 Live and Let Die – Wings
11* Cassandra – Sherbet
12 Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting – Elton John
13 Rubber Bullets – 10cc
14 Just You ‘n’ Me – Chicago
15 The Ballroom Blitz – The Sweet
16* Susie Darlin’ – Barry Crocker
17 Wishing Well – Free
18 Behind Closed Doors – Charlie Rich
19 You Got Me Anyway – Sutherland Brothers & Quiver
20 We May Never Pass This Way (Again) – Seals & Crofts
21 Be – Neil Diamond
22 Like Sister & Brother – The Drifters
23 Standing on the Inside – Neil Sedaka
24 I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band) – The Moody Blues
25* Everything is Out of Season – Johnny Farnham
Lots of great music!! Thank goodness disco hadn’t arrived yet. Hard to pick my top 5. I lean more towards the rock side so these would be my favorites from 1973! I was in 10th grade!

My Favs are the Doobies “Long Train Running/ China Grove” ( Doobies pre Michael McDonald) , “Reeling in the Years”, and “Danny’s Song”. Of course I have to add “Smoke on the Water ” for it’s legendary riffs and “You’re So Vain” a semi feminist anthem.

Mark
That’s quite a list!
Here’s my somewhat expanded entry, with George Harrison predictably at the top, since “Give Me Love” is my favorite post-Beatle song. 1973 was also something of a continuation of a watershed period in which album oriented rock (including progressive and fusion) was being distinguished from chart-driven radio rock. So some of my favorites are not necessarily rock or pop radio hits, for which reason I’m also blending singles and albums. I was also getting into Contemporary Christian Music then, so a few of those dominated my listening patterns and are included here. The lack of singles in my list (as I look over the standard lists of top songs in 1973) may reveal my general disdain for pop-radio music that year. I could be nice and say so much of it just didn’t match my taste, but frankly a lot of it was just awful attempts at overproducing thin songs.. Still, I ended up with a list of 28, with one honorable mention:
28. “Space Oddity” (single) – David Bowie.
27. “Feelin Stronger Every Day” (single) – Chicago
26. “Smoke on the Water” (single) – Deep Purple
25. “Will It Go Round in Circles” (single) – Billy Preston
24. “Long Train Runnin” (single) – Doobie Brothers
23. “Wishbone Four” (album) – Wishbone Ash
22. “You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw” (album) – Spooky Tooth
21. “Six Wives of Henry VIII” (album) – Rick Wakeman
20. “Bodhisattva” (single from “Countdown to Ecstasy” album) – Steely Dan
19. “Distant Hills” (album) – Oregon
18. “Spectrum” (album) – Billy Cobham
17. “Hocus Pocus” (extended single and the whole album “Moving Waves”) – Focus
16. “Cisco Kid” (single) – War
15. “Head Hunters” (album) – Herbie Hancock
14. “Light as a Feather” (album, especially “Spain”) – Return to Forever
13. “Birds of Fire” (album) – Mahavishnu Orchestra
12. “Quadrophenia” (album) – The Who
11. “Selling England By the Pound” (album) – Genesis
10. “Frankenstein” (single, along with “Free Ride” and the whole album “They Only Come Out at Night”) – Edgar Winter
9. “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic” (album) – King Crimson
8. “Karn Evil 9” (suite from Brain Salad Surgery album) – Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
7. Over-Nite Sensation (album) – Frank Zappa
6. “The Ocean”/”Dancing Days” (singles from “Houses of the Holy”) – Led Zeppelin
5. “What a Day” (album) – Phil Keaggy
4. “Yessongs” (album) – Yes
3. “Live and Let Die” (single) – Paul McCartney
2. “Dark Side of the Moon” (album) – Pink Floyd
1. “Give Me Love” (single) – Geroge Harrison
Honorable Mention: Mike Olfield’s “Tubular Bells”
Great job as always, Dave. Love bonuses like hearing Bart Prater’s patter between platters. A voice we knew well, who made us smile, spoke our language, and could turn up anywhere—like a Friday night football 🏈 game or the mall.
A brilliant DJ.
My top five would be (but not necessarily in order):
5. Jethro Tull, “Living in the Past.” I’ve always loved this very British band, incorporating unusual instruments, Celtic and medieval flavored narratives, with the bright rasp of Ian Andersen’s unmistakable voice and firey flute. Always a compelling stop and listen.
I saw them in concert and they did not disappoint. Andersen was an impeccable, energetic showman, yet he was very level-headed in life.
Not succumbing to common pitfalls of the rock lifestyle, he invested his earnings, with a fish farm among his many interests.
4. Moody Blues, “I’m Just A Singer in a Rock n Roll Band.”
As with Tull, one of my favorite bands. Their orchestral, unique sound made for a deep dive—musically and otherwise.
Theirs was a mature, sublime simplicity, penetrating and unforgettable. Like Oliver Twist, they always left me wanting “more.”
The humble Justin Hayward is still writing songs. still performing. He wrote “Nights in White Satin” at the age of 19 in 1969. They were finally inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
3. Steely Dan, “Do It Again.”
Another iconic band. Songs to make you move, evoking response. This song seems perfection.
2. Anne Murray, “Danny’s Song.”
Kenny Loggin’s musical gift to his brother that lives on as one of my favorites. I love everything about the poetry, lilting melody and true story they tell. Anne Murray’s voice is pure gold; another gem.
1. Jim Croce, “I’ve Got a Name.” Jim Croce earns the title of legendary with his timeless voice and legacy. I would that young people could declare this song now, when so many seem struggling with the most basic issues of identity.
We took a lot for granted.
I’m thankful to have grown up in simpler times, with a rich variety of artists telling simple, honest stories, filled with hope for the future.
I give a shout out to Vickie Lawrence and “The Night the Lights Went Our in Georgia.”
The girls of my PE class were gathering at the locker room doors, clutching our books, waiting for the bell to release us. Someone started this song, and we all joined in together, rising in crescendo and perfect unison, bursting with laughter at the end, just as the bell rang.
Great memory, great songs that take us back.
Thank you for dusting them off and giving them another spin.
1973 was an incredible year for songs that continue to have staying power to this day. Can you imagine never hearing “You’re So Vain” from Carly Simon, Elton’s “Crocodile Rock”, the one-hit wonder by Vicki Lawrence “The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia”, McCartney’s “My Love” or “Live and Let Die” or that Number One song from Roberta Flack that wouldn’t budge from the Top Spot “Killing Me Softly With His Song”. However, I still love to hear “Midnight Train to Georgia” from Gladys Knight & the Pips or “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Harvest, “Wildflower” from Skylark or “Reeling in the Years” by Steely Dan. Does 1973 need a music do-over? No, but it sure stands on his own.
Thank you DW for another great blog. Favorites for me were Love Train, Dancing in the Moonlight, Crocodile Rock, I’ve Got a Name, Killing Me Softly, Ain’t No Woman 4 Tops, Rocky Mountain High, Could It Be I’m Falling In Love, Smoke on the Water and Just You and Me. There were many more. It was a solid tear for music and tied in with my high school graduation year…one definitely to remember.
Truly the best year in music. Most selections have incredible staying power. In 2010 during my divorce, Chicago’s Feelin Stronger Every Day became my “theme song” and has been ever since!
