Where Were You July 5, 1969?-- Part 4

Continuing Down Memory Lane. These were the songs playing on your radio and in your album collection forty years ago.

SEE-- RASCALS-- Never can remember the name of this one.

MARAKESH EXPRESS-- CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH-- The first single release from their debut album out a month and the word is spreading fast that this is not to be missed. Graham Nash from the Hollies, Steve Stills from Buffalo Springfield, and David Crosby of the Byrds to create something for the ages. (This was the second group I bought every single album as soon as it was released. The first group was CCR. What harmony these guys could do.)
49 BYE BYES-- CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH-- closing selection on the album. (My favorite song on the album.)

CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION-- TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS-- current release in the top ten. (Talk about your perfect laid-back summer song!)
A SALTY DOG-- PROCUL HARUM-- Sailing the high seas with their brand new album "Salty Dog." The title selection and beautiful composition. Great lead vocals from Gary Brookens.

LET ME-- PAUL REVERE AND THE RAIDERS-- latest. Big record here in Chicago as all of them were. (The lead guitarist for the band, Drake Levin, who played on many of their earlier hits, just died.)
THE BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO-- BEATLES-- Ase mentioned last time, not played by a lot of stations because of the word "Christ." (Christ you know it ain't easy. You know how hard it can be.")

A Week from Sunday, Bob Takes Us to August2, 1969. --RoadDog
