Was It the Blizzard of '67 or Great Snow Storm of '67? Music to While Away All That Snow

Yesterday, Bob Stroud devoted his entire Rock and Roll Roots Show to the songs being played on WLS and WCFL that helped us young folks, I was 15 at the time, get through all that snow. He also included tracks from the albums in our collections.

I have found that there is some question as to what the event should be called. According to my wife, Liz, in Chicago, where she lived at the time, they called it the Snowstorm of '67. Out in ths uburbs where we lived (Palatine) we called it the Blizzard of '67.

The blizzard/snow storm was actually over by Jan. 28th, but the digging out and getting things back on schedule was going on big time.

From the show: "It was 45 years ago this past week that Chicago experienced its worst blizzard to date. This is the 45th anniversary of the Great Snow Storm of '67."

Bob Stroud's comments first. Mine in parentheses.

THE BEAT GOES ON-- SONNY AND CHER--
LOVE IS HERE AND NOW YOU'RE GONE-- SUPREMES-- (Nothing like that good old Motown. Loved the choreography.)

YOU HEAR ME CALL YOUR NAME-- ASSOCIATION-- Some of us got it for Christmas, the new Renaissance album. From side 2. (Right, I'm sure my dad would go out and buy me one of those stupid albums.)
I THINK WE'RE ALONE-- TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS-- Brand new and hit-bound. (And Tiffany wasn't even alive yet.)

TELL IT TO THE RAIN-- FOUR SEASONS-- (One of Liz's favorite Four Seasons songs. Was she ever belting this out while it was playing.)
GIMME SOME LOVIN'-- SPENCER DAVIS GROUP-- Getting our first taste of Steve Winwood.

Was That... a Snowflake? No, It Was "Suzy Snowflake." --RoadDog
