1970: Velvet Underground 'Loaded' to George Harrison 'All Things Must Pass' to Derek and the Dominoes to The Partridge Family E107

Some years don’t just produce great records—they redraw the map of how we listen. We dive into 1970 as a living, breathing turning point, starting with the Velvet Underground’s Loaded to George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass, with detours into Derek and the Dominoes, CCR, and the Partridge Family. Stories of edits, covers, charts, lawsuits, and misheard lyrics tie together what makes songs endure.

• Velvet Underground’s Loaded, Lou Reed's last album with the band
• Who Loves the Sun, Sweet Jane, and Rock and Roll
• Phish’s Halloween cover and the life of influence
• George Harrison’s triple-album surge and wall of sound
• My Sweet Lord, What Is Life, and a-list session players
• Derek and the Dominoes, Bell Bottom Blues, and Layla
• Jim Gordon’s studio legacy and tragic downfall
• pop joy with the Partridge Family and TV-to-radio crossover
