Synopsis

Two baby girls were born in the same hospital: one of them is the daughter of an aristocratic family while the other belongs to a deprived household which lives in the slums of the city. However, the nurse-in-charge, Michiko, secretly switches the two babies due to a personal grudge, resulting in a change of fates of the girls from then on. Many years later, the lives of the two girls continue to be intertwined with each other, with the rich Miki ill-treating the poor Nozomi, yet both of them hold similar dreams to become a singer.

Contrasting with 2020's anime, which commonly features average, unhappy protagonists that suddenly are teleported/have their lives changed so that their frustrations are magically solved, anime from the 70's often features protagonists that come from unfavourable origins or poverty and that have to overcome critical adversities by themselves.

You see similar situations in anime like Ashita no Joe, Attack No.1 or Candy Candy.

Well well well... What do we have here? Another obscure anime show from 1971 by Mushi Production. The same people that brought us many of Ozamu Tezuka's anime adaptations and Ashita No Joe?

Why yes it is! Sasurai No Taiyou (Also known as Wandering Sun) is an anime show released in the early 70s made by Mushi Production. It's based off the manga of the same name by Keisuke Fujikawa, who was also involved in the anime industry as he worked on multiple anime shows in the 70s such as Mazinger Z and Cutey Honey.
