Music for a Blizzard: January 27, 1967-- Part 2

Continued from January 30th.

Bob Stroud went back to this date to commemorate what Chicagoans called the Snowstorm of '67 and suburbanites called the Blizzard of '67. This is the 47th anniversary of the snow that really shut Chicago down.

"It began Jan. 26, 1967, and for the next 25 hours or so, it snowed 23 inches making it the largest single snowfall in Chicago to date. These are the records that got us through on the radio. We're going to listen to what the radio sounded like and we're going to play some songs from albums that you may have had in your collections at this point in time."

COLOR MY WORLD-- PETULA CLARK-- (No, not that syrupy one by Chicago they used to play at all the weddings. This was actually a very good one that I had forgotten about.)
BABY, I NEED YOUR LOVIN'-- JOHNNY RIVERS-- His take on an old Motown classic by the Four Tops. (Imagine Johnny Rivers singing someone else's songs!)

RUBY TUESDAY-- ROLLING STONES-- Supposed to be a two-sided hit, but radio stations shied away from the other side "Let's Spend the Night Together." (Mild by today's standards.)
CAN'T YOU SEE TAT I REALLY LOVE YOU-- FLOCK-- Chicago's own. On Rock and Roll Roots Vol. 11.

(FEELING GROOVY) 59TH STREET BRIDGE SONG-- SIMON AND GARFUNKEL-- Released in Oct. of '66 and still in heavy rotation, the latest album from Simon and Garfunkel, Parley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme. From side one. In another month or so, this would hit the Top 40 by an LA band called Harper's Bizarre.
98.6-- KEITH--

There Are 50 Songs Played In These Three Hours. What Number Was That? --RoadDog


HOW'S THAT AGAIN? Just in case some old codger says this to you.

Stringing around, gallivanting around, or piddling...(Not doing anything of value.)
