Where Were You August 2, 1969?-- Part 2

RUBY, DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN-- KENNY ROGERS AND THE FIRST EDITION-- huge hit. (I give this the reward for having the longest name and group name. Does it ever end?)
ONE-- THREE DOG NIGHT-- a former #1 hit for the group written by Harry Nilsson and a track off their debut album, and at this point in time, they had just released their second album, "Suitable for Framing" and we're going to hear some things from it later on in the show.

THIS WHEEL'S ON FIRE-- BYRDS-- Lead off track from their "Dr. Byrds and Mr. Hyde" album written by Bob Dylan. Yet, another Bob Dylan track that many of us had first heard on the debut album of the Band "Music From Big Pink" in 1968. (Never heard this version before.)
LAY LADY LAY-- BOB DYLAN-- brand new from his album "Nashville Skyline. (Liz was going to get this single for me, but when her mom saw the title, she couldn't. I wonder why? Something about a Generation Gap, perhaps? Liz did buy it later when her mother wasn't around. My favorite Bob Dylan song of my favorite album by him.)

WORKIN' ON A GROOVY THING-- FIFTH DIMENSION-- New single. Follow up to "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In."
PRE-ROAD DOWNS-- CROSBY, STILLS, AND NASH-- One of the big albums of the summer was the debut of CSN. This is the tune that closes side one. In an interview not too long ago, Graham Nash let out the secret that there is one other voice on the record besides himself, David Crosby, and Steven Stills, and that is Mama Cass from the Mamas and Papas who they sneak in on the line, "Be sure to hide the roaches." If you listen closely, you can hear her voice. (Wish Bob had said this before the song so I could have been listening closely. I live it when Bob provides a little tidbit like this.)

CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION-- TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS-- latest single
BABY, I LOVE YOU-- ANDY KIM-- In the top ten with his remake of the classic Ronettes hit.
