The Medleys Are Back!
Over the past weekend, I asked you to suggest songs you wanted to hear from the 60s and 70s. I was, quite frankly, very surprised (and pleased) with the number of responses I received.
I already had three days of medleys prepared before I posted that question. I will be playing those medleys for the next three days, but on Thursday, September 15, I will begin playing your requests … for as many days as it takes.
If you were born in the late 1940s or early 1950s, the songs in today’s medley should (hopefully) bring back some memories.
Every one of these songs were being played on the radio on September 12, 1964, and they were all in the Top 40. By the way, in a recent poll, most listeners wanted the medleys to last 30 minutes or more, while a lot preferred 20-30 minutes. This one splits the difference at 29 minutes. 🙂
Oh, and if you were born in the late 1950s or later, this, boys and girls, is what real music sounded like. This is old school. There was no such thing as Auto-Tune because these singers had the talent to do it on their own!
