If there is a narrow age range and he was indeed born in Bluefield, it is a really small town and there couldn't have been an astronomical amount of people born there in any given year. That bring said, it would still be a lot of work to find a male born in those years who lived in Chicago and fell of of record in 1972.

Bluefield's birth records are (understandably) not public for 1950 yet. I'm currently looking through public records for people born in West Virginia around 1953 who lived in Chicago.

Would birth announcements in the local paper(s) be worth looking into?

Possibly. Not sure if they're digitized yet.
