Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

What Were You Doing December 9, 1968?-- Part 3

These songs were playing on your radio.

SHAKE--  SHADOWS OF KNIGHT--  Jimmy Sohns of the Shadows of Knight took the name with him and went out to New York to record with some studio musicians and came up with this hit song in Chicago.  (of course, the Shadows, famous for their version of "Gloria" were a Chicago group.  I liked this song almost as much as "Gloria.")
STORMY--  CLASSICS IV--  the late great Dennis Yost on lead vocals.

CRIMSON AND CLOVER--  TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS--  Brand new.  We hadn't heard anything remotely similar to this from them before.

GLASS ONION--  BEATLES--  Such power in the music back then.  Any time I hear a song from the White Album this time of the year, it always takes me right back.  The album was about a month old. (Just in time for Christmas gifts.)
MOTHER NATURE'S SON--  BEATLES--  From the second vinyl album.

LOVE CHILD--  DIANA ROSS & THE SUPREMES--  Went to #1 for them in '68.  (Imagine someone being ashamed like that these days.)
CINNAMON--  DEREK--  (Come on, "Let 'em in!!")

So Afraid That Others Would Know.  --RoadDog
