A FEW SINGLES FROM EARLY 1970

PLAY THE SHOW

This is OUR first show of the new decade dedicated to music from exactly 40 years ago, one of our favorite musical eras, the ‘60s. No, I’m not going insane. The way we see it at American Hit Radio, the ‘60s – as we have come to know them – began in January 1964 with the arrival of the Beatles, and lingered until some time in 1972, when a cultural shift ultimately moved away from the ideals of the ‘60s. I think the music will prove out this theory adequately enough, so here are the songs featured in today’s show;

1) Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) – Sly & the Family Stone

2) Everybody Is a Star- Sly & the Family Stone

3) Rainy Night in Georgia – Brook Benton

4) The Thrill Is Gone – B.B.King

5) Bridge Over Troubled Water- Simon & Garfunkel

6) Travelin’ Band – CCR

7) Who’ll Stop the Rain – CCR

8) He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother - The Hollies

9) Call Me – Aretha Franklin

10) Leaving On a Jet Plane – Peter, Paul & Mary

11) Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head – B.J. Thomas
