Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Where Were You June 7, 1969?-- Part 6

GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY-- CCR-- The second CCR album was in our possession for about 3 months now, "Bayou Country" and, from that, their version of this Little Richard classic. Before the year was up, we'd have two more CCR albums, "Green River" and "Willie & the Poor Boys." (Good Golly, give me more Creedence!!!!)
LOVE (CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY)-- MERCY-- One hit wonder out of Tampa, Florida. (The Good, the Bad, and the ____.)

FEELIN' ALRIGHT-- JOE COCKER-- from debut album "With a Little Help from My Friends." The lead off track was this Traffic classic. (Old Joe doing a cover, imagine that. A few months later there was that unintelligible version of "With a Little Help" at Woodstock.
IN THE BEGINNING/LOVELY TO SEE YOU-- MOODY BLUES-- New album by the Moody "On the Threshold of a Dream." Only out since May. Later on this year, we got "To Our Children's, Children's Children, but here in the spring, we had this one with "The Beginning" segueing into "Lovely to See You."

SPINNING WHEEL-- BS&T-- from the second album from them. The second single from that album, the 45 mix of it. (More blue-eyed soul!!)
MORNING GIRL-- NEON PHILHARMONIC--one hit wonder. Included in Vol. 6 of the Rock and Roll Roots series.

SEE-- RASCALS-- psychadelicized romp (I remember once trying to figure out the name of the song when the deejay didn't announce it. Pretty hard to do with that jumble of words and fast-talking.)
ATLANTIS-- DONOVAN-- His final Top Ten single. (This and "Hurdy Gurdy Man" are my twp favorite songs by him.)

BADGE-- CREAM-- from the final Cream album, "Goodbye." (Talk about your power trio. I was a big fan. A buddy in Goldsboro, NC, turned me onto them.)
I COULD NEVER LIE TO YOU-- NEW COLONY SIX-- current hit by them. (My favorite Chicago group, followed by the Cryan' Shames."

TOO BUSY THINKING ABOUT MY BABY-- MARVIN GAYE-- great Motown Classic. (When it comes to Motown, I don't know if I like the songs or choreography better.)
PINBALL WIZARD-- WHO-- from the upcoming release "Tommy."
UNDER THE ICE-- NAZZ-- Those of us who bought the debut album by Nazz in 1968 were jazzed to see the new Nazz album in 1969 in the spring time entitled, appropriately enough, "Nazz Nazz." The great Todd Rundgren on guitar. (Hadn't heard this song before, but it's good.)

And the Number one song in Chicago was a two-sided hit by you-know-who.

DON'T LET ME DOWN-- BEATLES--
GET BACK-- BEATLES--

Lots of Memories. --RoadDog
