And we’re back! We had to skip a week’s post due to my faithful macbook dying on me. As the script that generates the YouTube playlists runs on this machine we’re not much good without it. Probably a prompt for me to move it to the cloud!
If you want to listen to May, 1970 here’s the post with the playlist. Now onto June, 1970!

This month in history
On the 13th “The Long and Winding Road” became the Beatles’ 20th and final single to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. During their six-year recording career, the Beatles had averaged one #1 hit single every 3.7 months.
And on the 24th the first videodisc, the Television Electronic Disc (TeD), was demonstrated at a press conference in West Berlin by Teldec, a joint venture of the West German electronics manufacturer AEG Telefunken and Britain’s Decca Records. The 20 cm (7.9 in) flexible foil disc was capable of storing roughly five minutes of video programming, and would be upgraded to longer times by the time it went on sale on March 17, 1975.
Then on the 27th the first Gay Pride march in history took place in Chicago, where 150 participants listened to speeches at Washington Square, then proceeded down Chicago Avenue, Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street to arrive at the Chicago Civic Center.
What’d Sadie think?
A week at the top for”Everything Is Beautiful” by Ray Stevens then two for The Beatles with”The Long And Winding Road” before a chart topper from the Jackson Five with “The Love You Save”.

This month in history
On the first U.S. President Richard M. Nixon signed the “Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act” into law, banning cigarette television and radio advertisements in the United States effective January 2, 1971. The “one, big last day” on January 1 was permitted by Congress to allow television networks to get tobacco revenue for the college football bowl games on New Year’s Day.
On the 13th, the Mission Control team at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, received word from the Apollo 13 crew that an oxygen tank in the command module had exploded, and that electrical power was gradually dropping, an event that led to an abort of the planned lunar landing. The mission shifted to recalculation of the Apollo 13 route in hopes of getting the three astronauts safely back to Earth. Nine minutes after the crew had finished a 40-minute live broadcast to television viewers, astronaut Fred Haise began alerting with the words “Okay, Houston…” and Jim Lovell followed with “I believe we’ve had a problem here.”
And on the 26th “Company”, a Broadway musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, began the first of 706 performances at the Alvin Theatre. It would win six Tony Awards, including best musical, best music and best lyrics.
What’d Sadie think?
A week extra at the top for”Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon & Garfunkel before the Beatles’ “Let It Be” grabs it for a couple, then the Jackson Five take it with “ABC”.
Meanwhile Sadie was all about singing “Celebrate” from Three Dog Night this week. She’s also learnt the concept of an “ear worm” it seems!

This month in history
On the 5th the world saw the premiere of “Airport” in New York City before its U.S. and worldwide release. Based on the bestselling suspense novel by Arthur Hailey, Airport was made on a budget of USD $10.2 million and would gross almost ten times that amount worldwide ($100.5 million).
Then on the 12th, for the first time in British history, citizens younger than 21 were able to cast ballots in a parliamentary election. The opportunity came in the by-election, to fill a vacancy in the Bridgwater constituency in the House of Commons that followed the October 31 death of Gerald Wills. Miss Trudy Sellick, a secretary who had turned 18 years old earlier in the day, registered the first under-21 vote in British history; she was in line when the polling station at North Newton, Somerset, opened at 7:00 in the morning.
Not from the by-election, but this short film from later in the year about voting in the general election is a snapshot of the time:
On the fifteenth “The Expo ’70 World’s Fair” opened in Suita, a suburb of the Japanese city of Osaka. By some coincidence the city is hosting the expo again back here in 2025.
What’d Sadie think?
The whole month is owned by Simon & Garfunkel’s classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. And Sadie is loving the new Jackson Five song, ABC!

This month in history
Some history
On February 2, Bertrand Russell (97), British philosopher passed away. I’ll leave it to his answer to this 1959 interview question, “Suppose Lord Russell this film were to be looked at by our descendants, like a Dead Sea scroll in a thousand years time, what would you think it’s worth telling that generation about the life you’ve lived and the lessons you’ve learned from it?”
On the 13th the “first heavy metal album”, Black Sabbath went on sale in Britain. Black Sabbath had been formed in the English city of Birmingham in 1968 by guitarist and chief songwriter Tony Iommi, lead singer Ozzy Osbourne, drummer Bill Ward, and bassist Geezer Butler. Within weeks, the debut record would be the eighth bestselling rock album on the British charts, and would be released in the United States on June 1.
And on a literal, lighter, note on the 25th during an episode of the children’s TV series Sesame Street, “Rubber Duckie” was performed for the first time and would soon become a best-selling record.
What’d Sadie think?
A week at the top for”Venus” by Shocking Blue, two for “Thank You” by Sly & The Family Stone and then a week at number one for Simon & Garfunkel’s”Bridge Over Troubled Water”.
Sadie said, “that’s a tune!” of Son of a Preacher man and continues to love The Jackon 5’s “I want you back”. She may have also made her first use of a music reference to “Don’t Cry Daddy” by Elvis Presley , which she also really likes, during the week when telling me not to be sad about something!

It’s the first month of the ’70s! As Sadie will keep reminding us, we’ve been at this for 4.5 years! (or rather, she reminds us that she is 4.5 years old – and the two are of course the same timeline.)
Apparently when I generated the list of songs for this month, which was a couple of years ago now, I set it to go deeper into the chart than I normally do – which means more (new) tunes this month. Enjoy them all!

This month in history
While it was designed as part of the Unix operating system somewhat later, the 1st of January, 1970 is known as the ” epoch of the Unix time standard”. It’s an arcane fact I’ve been aware of since learning my first “real” programming language (“C”) as a child. The timestamp keeps track of time by the number of seconds since 0:00:00 on January 1, 1970.
As the majority of modern computers are 32-bit or 64-bit, and a large number of programs are still written in 32-bit compatibility mode, this means that many programs using Unix time are using signed 32-bit integer fields. The maximum value of a signed 32-bit integer is 231 − 1, and the minimum value is −231, making it impossible to represent dates before 13 December 1901 (at 20:45:52 UTC) or after 19 January 2038 (at 03:14:07 UTC).
Which, for those who enjoyed the ‘Y2k bug’ means we have another such global freak-out coming in 13 years.
On the 20th, “The Super Fight”, a simulated boxing bout between Muhammad Ali and the late Rocky Marciano, was shown on pay-per-view in 1,000 movie theaters in North America and around the world. The likely result, of the hypothetical fight between the two former world heavyweight boxing champions, was determined by data inputted to a computer, and enhanced by clips of possible outcomes that the two boxers had filmed during the summer before Marciano’s 1969 death in a plane crash. Marciano and Ali (still referred to by the press as Cassius Clay) were, at the time, the only two title holders who had never been defeated. People who paid five dollars apiece for a ticket to the film saw an ending where Marciano “floored Clay for the third time with a solid left hook” and in which “the taller, younger Clay was counted out at 57 of the 13th round.
Then on the 25th “MASH”, a film based on the 1968 Richard Hooker bestseller “MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors” and the inspiration for the popular TV series “M*A*S*H”, premiered in New York City before being released nationwide on March 18.
What’d Sadie think?
Four weeks at the top for”Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head” by B.J. Thomas before “I Want You Back” by the Jackson Five takes it – a real Sadie favourite.
