Where Were You February 28, 1965? --Part 6
From Dave McAleer's book again.
Some side notes that Dave had for January to March 1965:
*** America's first successful answers to the British Invasion were Gary Lewis & the Playboys and the Beau Brummels.
*** Capitol Records second-biggest album-selling artist, Nat King Cole, died from cancer. The Beatles held three of the top ten LP chart positions. Beatles won the Grammy for Best New Artist 1964. Wonder why?
*** "Downtown" by Petula Clark won Grammy for Best Rock and Roll Record. Well, if Jethro Tull can win the Grammy for Heavy Metal, I guess anything is possible.
*** Alan Freed died at age 42 while awaiting trial for income tax evasion. As Little Steven says, "Thank you Alan Freed."
Back when a 45 cost 99 cents and an album $3.99 to $4.99.

Herman's Hermits-- Part 1
We spent last night in Clinton, Iowa at the Frontier Best Western. They had a local paper in the lobby called Clinton County Tidbits and it had an interesting article on Herman's Hermits.
They were one of my favorite groups of the sixties. As a matter of fact, Friday Peter Noone the front man of the group, was playing at Waukegan, Illinois' historical Genesee Theater along with the Grass Roots and Buckinghams. I had to choose between that and the Groundhog Day Dinner Dance.
I think that the very first album I ever bought was either the Herman's Hermits Greatest Hits or Beatles' Rubber Soul. I had to choose between the two and HH won, believe it or not, but they had more big hits on their album.
Some interesting facts:
*** The singer of the Heartbeats failed to show up at a show, and 17-year-old Peter Blair Denis Bernard Noone was invited up on stage to sing a couple songs. The Manchester group invited him to join the band. The name was changed to Herman and the Hermits, but usually called just Herman's Hermits.
*** Peter changed his name to Sherman when someone mentioned that he resembled Mr. Peabody's boy on the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. However, the name was misunderstood and Herman it became (you know those British accents).

Where Were You December 27, 1969-- Part 4
Well, here we are getting ready to move into the next decade, the seventies. Good times back then.
SHE-- TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS-- newest 45. No to be confused with the Monkees hit from a few years earlier. (Not really familiar with this one.)
COME TOGETHER-- BEATLES-- The "A" and "B" side of the newest Beatles release.
SOMETHING-- BEATLES-- (What, the Beatles with a two-sided-hit? That's like CCR having a two-sided hit.)
SHE BELONGS TO ME-- RICK NELSON-- one of my favorite songs from 40 years ago today by a guy who used to go by the name Ricky nelson. These days, he was Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band covering Bob Dylan's "She Belongs to Me." (Little Ricky growing up. No more slicked back hair.)
WHOLE LOTTA LOVE-- LED ZEPPELIN-- from "#2" about a month old.
EVIL WOMAN-- CROW-- First hit. (One of the great garage rock bands of all time. Little Steven would definitely agree with me.)
I WANT YOU BACK-- JACKSON FIVE-- killer song production. First time out in the top ten. Graham Parker did a great version of it in the late seventies. (My favorite Jackson Five/Michael Jackson song.)
SOMEDAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER-- The Supremes-- a rather turbulent time. This song kind ofbrought people together. Diana Ross's swan song with the Spremes. (Number 1 in Chicago.)

Where Were You December 27, 1969?-- Part 2
We were getting ready to go into the decade of the seventies and these were the songs we were listening to as compiled by Bob Stroud on his Rock and Roll Roots Show on WDRV, the Drive, in Chicago.
As usual, his comments first (how can he know that much stuff?) and mine following in parentheses.
As we get ready to say goodbye to the first decade of the 2000s, this morning on Rock and Roll Roots, we are going to time warp you back to when we said goodbye to the 70s and first off, the 60s. The date is December 27th and this is what your radio sounded like in 1969.
NA NA HEY HEY KISS HIM GOODBYE-- STEAM-- one hit wonder from a little studio band, it was in the top ten on this date. It is a song that still hasn't run out of steam, especially here in Chicago. We're kissing the first decade of the 2000s goodbye. (My White Sox song brought to us by Sox organist Nancy Faust, who will be retiring after this season after 40 years on the job. We'll miss her, a real Sox tradition. Whenever I hear another team's fans singing it, I think, "Hey, that's our song!!)
HEAVEN KNOWS-- GRASS ROOTS-- (Still one of the most under rated groups ever. They had some mighty good stuff.)
EARLY IN THE MORNING-- VANITY FAIR-- Seeing as it is early in the morning (about 7:10 AM), we are going to go back and catch the first of two hits by an English band called Vanity Fair. In 1970, they had their second hit, "Hitching to Ride."
WONDERFUL WORLD, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE-- JIMMY CLIFF-- a big reggae hit, one of the first. (Way before I knew what reggae was. I didn't really get into this music until the 80s. It is now a favorite.)
Loved My WLS and WCFL. --RoadDog

A Trip Back to the Sixties-- Part 2
While the next group was getting ready, Bob Stroud talked to the crowd. Last week, at the first CD release party in Oakbrook, Jim Peterik of the Ides of March and Survivor and the Buckinghams also performed. They couldn't be with us today because the Ides were opening for Foghat and the Buckinghams were playing in Las Vegas.
He explained how he went about putting together his Rock and Roll Roots albums. First he gets about 500 suggestions from listeners. Then they are voted on with the top 40 being sent out to have licensing researched. This year, the two biggest vote getters were the Flock and the Family, both from Chicago also.
He also said that they were looking for the Troggs' "Every Day and Every Night" but can't find a licensing contact. Left Banke will not allow "Pretty Ballerina" to be licensed for some reason.
Of interest, he received an e-mail from a former member of the Exports, whose "Car Hop" instrumental was also included on the CD. They were out of Lynnwood, Illinois and two of the members still live in the area.

A Trip Back to the Sixties-- Part 1
As in Chicagoland Sixties Rock and Roll.
This past Saturday, Nov. 14th, Liz and I went to the Mt. Prospect Borders Store for Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots Vol. 11 CD release party and were transported back in time to when the Chicago music scene was really hot.
We had plenty of great groups, and four of them played a concert for an appreciative overflowing crowd. That would be the New Colony Six, Cryan' Shames, Mauds and Jim Sahms of the Shadows of Knight.
My favorite 60s Chicago band, the New Colony Six opened the show with Bob Stroud singing "My Pledge of Love" by the Joe Jeffrey Group, one of the songs on the CD (I listed the songs and Bob's comments last week).
They then played:
I Confess
Can't You See Me Cry (a song on the new CD)
Things I'd Like to Say (where they were joined by Ronnie Rice)
I Lie Awake
Little Girls (a song by the Revelles)
I Will Always Think About You (Liz and my song from when we first started dating back in high school in 1967)
I'll Always Love You

Why It Takes Me So Long to Do An Entry
I was merrily two-fingerin' my way along the keyboard when I typed in the Okaysions and went looking for some more information on them.
That took about 15 minutes, then one of the sites put me onto You Tube where I saw them performing "Girl Watcher." That was about three minutes... BUT, they had other sixties bands, and the more I looked, the more I had to listen to groups like the Grass Roots, Troggs, Buckinghams, Kinks, Turtles. Paul Revere & the Raiders, Janis Joplin, Fifth Dimension and so on, and so on, and soooooooo....
An hour later, I came across the Beatles. There goes another hour.
I could go a lot faster if I didn't get waylaid so often.
I did find that the Easybeats from Australia had a lot of other great songs besides "Friday on My Mind."
Good Thing I'm Retired. --RoadDog

Back to Where You Were October 4, 1968?
Of course, time limitations do not allow Bob Stroud to play all the songs from that date.
Here are some others:
LITTLE GREEN APPLES-- O.C. SMITH-- He later sang Beach Music and had a big hit with "Brenda."
HARPER VALLEY PTA-- JEANNIE C. RILEY-- The person responsible for bringing this Tom T. Hall song to us, producer Shelby Singleton died October 7th. He was responsible for lots of artists and familiar songs. I'll have a write-up on him on the Dead Page in my history blog http://cootershistorything.blogspot.com
GIRL WATCHER-- OKAYSIONS-- True North Carolina one-hit wonders. Somewhere I heard they eventually became the Fabulous Kays, one of the best southeastern show bands, but I'm not sure.
MY SPECIAL ANGEL-- VOGUES-- Probably too schmaltzy for Bob
OVER YOU-- GARY PUCKETT & THE UNION GAP-- Too sweet for Bob and me.
SLIP AWAY-- CLARENCE CARTER-- When he is not "Strokin'"
SAY IT LOUD- I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD-- JAMES BROWN-- Black Power!!!
PEOPLE GOT TO BE FREE-- RASCALS-- This would have been a good one. The last two summed up the climate in those days.
SUZIE-Q-- CCR-- Loved the song in "Apocalypse Now."
1,2,3 RED LIGHT-- 1910 FRUITGUM COMPANY-- OK, Bubble Gum, but I like it.
From Dave McAleer's "The Book of Hit Singles: Top 20 Charts from 1954 to the Present Day." It featured not only the US Top 20 by month, but also the UK Top Twenty.
Next, the UK Charts. --RoadDog

Iron Butterfly and Canned Heat at Galt Airport
McHenry's Galt Airport hosted a psychedelic concert a couple weeks ago with two of the better-known 60s bands: Iron Butterfly and Canned Heat. I didn't go, but would have liked to. It was billed as a Celebration of the 1967 Summer of Love. They had posters out that looked like those you would have seen out at Haight-Asbury back in that year. They were psychedelic.
There was a bit of a proble leading up to it as the airport owner did not want to hire off-duty McHenry County sheriffs and police at the rate of $50 an hour. Hey, I would sure work for that!!!
I was able to get a poster at the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce a few days after the event.
Of course, Iron Butterfly is sometimes referred to as the first heavy metal band. Their biggest hit was 1968's 17 minute-long "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida" which is supposedly an alcohol-slurred version of "In the Garden of Eden." Then, there's the seven-minute drum solo. They were supposed to be at the Woodstock Festival, but got stuck at an airport.
I have an original album by them. but it is somewhat worn. I couldn't get enough of that song. Just hearing it takes me right back to that period of my life.
Bryan Wawzenek had an interview with bassist Lee Dorman in the Northwest Herald. He said the group had never played the short version of the song, which was made by a deejay in Detroit. They had other songs, but "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida definitely overshadowed all the rest of their efforts. He didn't join the band until the fall of 1967 after a tour of duty in Vietnam.
Canned Heat formed in Los Angeles in 1965 is is considered a blues-rock-boogie band. Bob "the Bear" Hite was the lead singer and harmonica-player. They were at the 1967 Monterrey Pop Festival and Woodstock where I always thought Hite wasn't too with it on the song that was chosen for the soundtrack. They had two great ROAD SONGS: "Going Up the Country" and "On the Road Again."
