9 January 1971 - American Top 40
Counting down the top 40 songs from 1970:
"In 1968 this next group performed at the Filmore East and was paid $500 for three nights work. Two years later, at either of the Filmore auditoriums, their guarantee for one night was between thirty and forty thousand dollars. And after production expenses they end up with a net profit of at least twenty thousand dollars. And how do they do it? Well, by eating all their spinach and recording hits like Lookin' Out My Back Door. It was the number 36 song of the year. Creedence Clearwater Revival."
