January 1st, 1970

This year we'll be running 1970 Calendar Highlights on a near-daily basis ... along with new features and comments pages ... so please be sure to check back every day to see just what we might have cooking for you at any given time!

Beginning on Sunday, January 12th, we'll also be reprinting EVERY Top 40 WCFL Survey published that year so you can once again see how 1970's biggest hits fared right here in Chicago.

Here's a quick look at an entertainment headline from New Year's Day, 1970!

1970:  January 1st – Elvis Presley’s latest film (and his last scripted movie), “A Change Of Habit,” opens in theaters on New Year’s Day.  His love interest in this film is television superstar Mary Tyler Moore (post-Laura Petrie / pre-Mary Richards)  Oh yeah … she’s also a nun … so Elvis doesn’t quite get the girl in this one!  (Or does he?)
