Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots show on WDRV-FM, Chicago August8th featuring the songs on the radio and in our record collections from August 8, 1970.
Could that really be 40 years ago?
SUMMERTIME BLUES-- WHO-- Their version of an old Eddie Cochran classic. From the upcoming release "The Who Live at Leeds." ("Cause you haven't worked none.")
OVERTURE FROM TOMMY-- ASSEMBLED MULTITUDE-- A two-Who fer. Studio cats from Philadelphia. A Top 40 hit.
LONG AS I CAN SEE THE LIGHT-- CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL-- From the new album "Cosmo's Factory.: "B" Side of "Looking Out My Back Door." (Like I said, my favorite group.)
CRACKLIN' ROSIE-- NEIL DIAMOND-- brand new
MORNING MUCH BETTER-- TEN WHEEL DRIVE-- New York horn band with chick singer Genya Ravan. (Little Steven has been playing a lot of her songs on his Underground Garage Show. Great, little-known song by a little-known band.)
MAKE IT WITH YOU-- BREAD-- Top Ten. (This song always brings back memories of Honey Hill Beach in Wauconda, Illinois.)
COTTAGE CHEESE-- CROW-- Big Midwest hit, Top Ten here in Chicago. Originally the "B" side of the single. The "A" side was the old Larry Williams classic "Slow Down."
WAR-- EDWIN STARR-- #1 song in Chicago, a Motown classic.
Some Mighty Good Stuff Back Then. --RoadDog
