Music for the Great American Road Trip: "Lake Shore Drive"

All this month, Chicago's Drive, WDRV 97.1 FM (simulcast on 96.9 FM) is letting listeners tell them where to go on its long-running Ten At Ten show, where they play ten songs in a row without commercials and either about a specific year or a theme.

Today's show was the American Road Trip and was compiled by Shelby Dean of Berwyn, Illinois.  Sorry, Shelby, all I can think about is Svenghouli's "BERWYN!!!"

She started in Chicago, then to Louisiana, New York City, Georgia, California, back to Chicago, Winslow, Arizona, Philadelphia, Alabama and ended in Hollywood.  Before you read the song titles, see if you can guess the songs that took us there.

LAKE SHORE DRIVE--  Alliota, Haynes & Jeremiah
BORN ON THE BAYOU--  CCR
BACK IN NEW YORK--  Kiss

RAMBLIN' MAN--  Allman Brothers
GOING TO CALIFORNIA--  Led Zeppelin
BAD BAD LEROY BROWN--  Jim Croce
TAKE IT EASY--  Eagles

PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM--  Elton John
SWEET HOME ALABAMA--  Lynyrd Skynyrd
HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS--  Bob Seger

My only problem with her ten was when she introduced the Eagles' "Take It Easy" and just said that people stayed in motels in Winslow, Arizona, and nothing about it being on ROUTE 66.  You'd think she would have since Route 66 went through her town of Berwyn (BERWYN!!!)   He was standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, right there on Route 66.  They even have a Standing On the Corner Route 66 Festival every year.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Well, I'm Standing On The Corner In Winslow, Arizona."  Answer below.  --RoadCorner
