Songs playing way back then.
KENTUCKY WOMAN-- DEEP PURPLE-- Follow up to "Hush." (And Neil was so happy.)
THINGS I'D LIKE TO SAY-- NEW COLONY SIX-- Their biggest hit. (Chicago's own with Ronnie Rice out front singing lead vocal.)
ABRAHAM, MARTIN AND JOHN-- DION-- What a terrible, turbulent year 1968 was with the deaths of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, the Democratic Convention in Chicago, riots in the streets and reflecting that was this song.
I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE-- MARVIN GAYE-- What a year it was for Motown. They were sitting on the top of the charts this date with one of their biggest single releases.
These were songs Bob Stroud played parts of coming out of commercial breaks:
PICKING WILD MOUNTAIN BERRIES-- JO JO BENSON AND PEGGY SCOTT
CLOUD NINE-- TEMPTATIONS
GOODY GOODY GUMDROPS-- 1910 FRUITGUM COMPANY-- One of the ultimate Bubble Gum groups. (And, I love my Bubble Gum music.)
I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME-- TEMPTATIONS AND SUPREMES
WICHITA LINEMAN-- GLEN CAMPBELL
Brought Back the Memories. --RoadDog
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.
