Bob Stroud does a great show on Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM every day at 10 am and 10 pm. Lately, it seems he is running out of ideas. I'd like to see him start doing a show like his old Time Warp that he used to do on his Rock and Roll Roots Sunday show. This is where he played songs from one date back in the 1960s and 1970s.
Recently I did a WLS Top 30 from May 15, 1972, fifty years ago, and I think these ten songs from that list would make one great group.
Here they are (the number in front of the title is its position on the survey that day):
ASK ME WHAT YOU WANT- Millie Jackson
21. ME & JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOL YARD-- Paul Simon
18. YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A LADY-- April Wine
14. RUN, RUN, RUN-- Jo Jo Gunne
11. DOCTOR MY EYES-- Jackson Browne
10. SYLVIA'S MOTHER-- Dr. Hook
8. BABY BLUE-- Badfinger
4. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR ME-- Al Green
3. BACK OFF BOOGALOO-- Ringo Starr
2. OH GIRL-- Chi-Lites
I think you listeners would really like these.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "And The Operator Says Forty Cents More For The Next Three Minutes." (Would a youngster today even have a clue what this was about?) Answer below. --RoadDog
"Sylvia's Mother"
