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

Where Were You July 5, 1969? --Part 3

More songs from WLS AM and WCFL AM. Chicago

Bob Stroud's quotes. Mine in parentheses.

MY CHERIE AMOUR-- STEVIE WONDER-- Started out as a "B" side. The "A" side was "I Don't Know Why" that sort of floundered and jocks started flipping the record over and found this killer ballad.

GET BACK-- BEATLES-- "A" side. When we last left June, this was #1 in Chicago. It had been replaced.
DON'T LET ME DOWN-- BEATLES-- "B" side

IT'S FOR YOU-- THREE DOG NIGHT-- Back to the debut album again with a Lennon/McCarthy song. English singer Cilla Black originally recorded it. Handles in the inimitable three-part harmony.
MY PLEDGE OF LOVE-- JOE JEFFFREY GROUP-- A great one hit-- out of Cleveland making them a classic one-hit wonder. (One of those special little songs that so reminds me of that summer.)

BRAVE NEW WORLD-- STEVE MILLER BAND-- A trip to the record store would find the third album of the band. Title selection.
WHITE BIRD-- IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY-- new band out of San Francisco. (This was Liz's roommate, Debbie's, favorite album. I ended up having to buy the LP when i somehow misplaced the cover. To this day, I have no idea what happened to it.)

GOOD MORNING STARSHINE-- OLIVER-- (I think from the musical "Hair.")
NEVER COMES THE DAY-- MOODY BLUES-- From the new album "On the Threshold of a Dream." (Let's put the album on the turntable and then put the earphones on to listen to this one.)

More Memories to Come. --RoadDog
