This week’s guest curator is Big Rick, host of Rock Talk Studio, and we're crafting a playlist filled with our favorite Number 1 Hit Songs from the 1970’s!

Keep in mind, just like the Billboard Number 1 Hits of the 1980’s & Number 1 Hits of The 1990’s episodes, the “deepest” cut we can pick tonight was a # 1 hit that was only # 1 for one week! So another hit-fest is coming your way!
