This week on Those Were the Days from WRCO and wrco.com, we will drift back to June of 1967. It was the start of what has been called the 'summer of love'. The music of the time made for glorious sounds on AM radio. A year later, music became a bit harder edged. Saturday night, I hope you will put some flowers in your hair and go back with us for great hits such as: Respect-Aretha Franklin, Somebody to Love-Jefferson Airplane, Little Bit O' Soul-Music Explosion, Light My Fire-Doors, Don't You Care-Buckinghams, Mirage-Tommy James and the Shondells, She'd Rather Be With Me-Turtles, Groovin-Young Rascals, On a Carousel-Hollies, Friday On My Mind-Easybeats, and Him or Me-What's It Gonna Be?-Paul Revere and the Raiders. That is a great stack of 45 rpm records!
Not only will I be highlighting my favorite year for Top 40 music, but the request line will be open again for you to ask for a tune from the fifties through the early nineties. Last week my family attended a wedding for some good friends and neighbors. As a result the show was on Memorex. I hope you got a chance to hear the tribute to Vilas Craig. There were good comments about the program. In case you missed it, we will post it on this website. Our fun trivia contests return this Saturday night as well. Please catch part of the show this Saturday night between six and midnight.
