There was, to be sure, trouble in the air during 1968. The assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy. The riots at the Democratic Convention in Chicago. U.S. athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their black-gloved fists in a recognized salute to the Black Power movement at the Summer Olympics. The riots in London and “Bloody Monday” in Paris.

There was, however, incredible music in 1968; so much great music that I decided to end the week with 10 songs from that tumultuous year … because music was one thing that held us all together. ❤
