Bob Stroud went back to the year 1966 on August 20th for his daily Ten at Ten show on Chicago's The Drive Radio Station Monday to Friday. He spotlights a year and sometimes a theme such as doctors or cowbells. Not only does he play ten songs, but also plays news and commercials from the year and, of course, gives lots of information about the tunes he plays.
Ten at Ten 1966 (only 44 years ago if you remember it) In parentheses are my quotes.
WILD THING-- TROGGS-- a number one hit from the summer (You make my Heart Sing)
DAYDREAM-- LOVIN' SPOONFUL--
BLACK IS BLACK-- LOS BRAVOS-- band out of Spain (I always thought they were from Mexico)
YOU KEEP ME HANGIN' ON-- SUPREMES-- A couple years later Vanilla Fudge turned it into something truly psychedelic.
DEVIL WITH A BLUE DRESS ON & GOOD MOLLY MISS MOLLY-- MITCH RYDER & THE DETROIT WHEELS-- biggest selling single for them combining two Little Richard songs.
(WE AIN'T GOT) NOTHING YET-- out of New York off their delicious first album "Psychedelic Lollipop." (You want psychedelic!! You can't handle psychedelic!!)
WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN-- PERCY SLEDGE-- soul star and Rock and Roll hall of Famer. (One of the great sad slow-dancing songs ever.)
GOOD THING-- PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS-- a Top Ten song from their album "Spirit of '67"
SLOOP JOHN B-- BEACH BOYS-- From "Pet Sounds" closing side 1.
PAINT IT BLACK-- ROLLING STONES-- From their "Aftermath" album which featured nothing but Jagger/Richards songs.
Mighty Good Music back in the Sixties. --RoadDog
MAXINE should have said: There should also be a support group for women who clean the house before the maid arrives to clean it.
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.
