Should Really Finish This Before the End of the Month.
BREAK AWAY-- BEACH BOYS-- we had the final album that summer made by the Beach Boys for Capitol Records titles "20-20," but it didn't contain their final 45 they would record before they left for the greener pastures with Warner brothers. And, it was aptly titles "Break Away" and one of the very best from the pen of Brian Wilson.
GET TOGETHER-- YOUNGBLOODS-- brand new. It had originally been out two years before, in '67 and only a minor hit. Now, it is becoming a Top ten smash. (Great way to sum up the sixties.)
MARAKESH EXPRESS-- CROSBY, STILLS & NASH-- their debut single.
MY PLEDGE OF LOVE-- JOE JEFFREY GROUP-- feel-good song of the summer. Out of Cleveland, Ohio.
MY CHERIE AMOUR-- STEVIE WONDER-- a "B" side in the Top Ten
SPINNING WHEEL-- BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS--
COMMOTION-- CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL-- "B" Side (of "Green River")
EVERYBODY KNOWS MATILDA-- DUKE BAXTER-- some stations thought this too racy. One hit wonder, debuted on WCFL this week.
GOOD MORNING STARSHINE-- OLIVER
SWEET CAROLINE-- NEIL DIAMOND-- Top Ten
And the Number One Song
HONKY TONK WOMAN-- ROLLING STONES-- By August 2, 1969, Brian Jonesd not only kicked out of the Rolling Stones, he was dead, but yet the Stones continued to roll with the #1 song in town.
Great Music That Summer. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
