These wre songs on your radio (in Chicago WCFL and WLS) back in the spring of 1967. Bob Stroud did this on his Rock and Roll Roots show on Chicago's WDRV in honor of "Mad Men" coming back on AMC April 7th. When the last season ended, it was Spring 1967.
FRIDAY ON MY MIND-- EASY BEATS-- Still lots from the British Invasion, but this was the first from the Land Down Under. (And, it had an AC/DC connection.)
SOCK IT TO ME-- MITCH RYDER AND THE DETROIT WHEELS-- (These guys sure knew their Frat Rock.)
A LITTLE BIT ME, A LITTLE BIT YOU-- MONKEES-- "A" Side of two-sided hit. This one written by Neil Diamond.
THE GIRL I KNEW SOMEWHERE-- MONKEES-- "B" Side.
GIRL, YOU'LL BE A WOMAN SOON-- NEIL DIAMOND-- (Always wondered what Neil had in mind once she did. Taking a lick from Gary Puckett here. Stroud played a Coke commercial by Neil Diamond after this.)
SOMEBODY TO LOVE-- JEFFERSON AIRPLANE-- Brand new this week. (And one of their "Big Two.")
THERE'S A KIND OF A HUSH-- HERMAN'S HERMITS-- Two-sided hit "A" side.
NO MILK TODAY-- HERMAN'S HERMITS-- "B" Side. Written by the same guy who wrote "For Your Love" by the Yardbirds, "Bus Stop" and "Look Through Any Window" for the Hollies. His name Graham Gouldman. (Like Stroud, I agree this is an often overlooked nugget of a song. I will have to look up Graham Gouldman as I am not familiar with him, but definitely am with these songs, all favorites of mine. "Look Through Any Window" was either my first or second single that I ever bought.)
