There are so many releases this month that I'm taking 1973 and doing an extra post on Sundays to cover the album that came out.
Today - Two duos and a Reggae legend
Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye released a duets album Diana & Marvin.
The two were widely recognized at the time as two of the top pop music performers.
The singles chart success in the US were,
Loggins and Messina released their third album Full Sail

"Watching the River Run" made #71
The album also featured "A Love Song" that Anne Murray covered and peaked at #12 on the Hot 100, #1 AC, and #5 Country. It won her a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
I have mentioned before that this is the year that I seem to have become aware of music on the radio. "My Music" was one of those songs.
