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

Where Were You January 24, 1968?-- Part 4

NOBODY BUT ME-- HUMAN BEINZ-- (A Great Frat Rocker.)
BOOGALOO DOWN BROADWAY-- FANTASTIC JOHNNY C--

JUDY IN DISGUISE (WITH GLASSES)-- JOHN FRED AND HIS PLAYBOY BAND-- No one really knew what he song was about, but every one likes it. By the late great John Fred. (Always loved the violins in this one.)

BEND ME, SHAPE ME-- AMERICAN BREED-- The number one song in Chicago by a group born and bred right here in Chicago. Gary Lorizo. (Some great Garage Rock if there ever was any.)


Bob Stroud always introduces the next song after a commercial break by playing a little bit of a popular song of the time. The following are the ones he played.


COME SEE ABOUT ME-- JR. WALKER & THE ALL STARS-- covering an old Supremes hit.
WOMAN, WOMAN-- GARY PUCKETT AND THE UNION GAP-- first of a half dozen hits for them.

LOVE IS BLUE-- PAUL MAURIAT--

I'll be taking a look at some other popular songs from January 1968 next.

Bend Me, Shape Me, Anyway Way You Want It. --RoadDog


HEARD IN 1955: Who would ever have though gas would be 25 cents a gallon?
