The Year Was 1975–new television programs included “Good Morning America,” “Saturday Night Live,” “One Day At A Time” and “Wheel of Fortune”…in the news, the Vietnam war ended, and President Gerald Ford survived two assassination attempts in a 17-day period…moviegoers enjoyed “Jaws,” “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”…and topping the pop music charts were “Love Will Keep Us Together” by the Captain and Tennille, “Thank God I’m A Country Boy” by John Denver, and Freddy Fender’s “Before The Next Teardrop Falls.”
