Today’s Throwback Thursday is focused on garage band rock, although there the normal #1 songs on this date in the pop, country and R&B genres.
Basically today’s medley is what I would normally play on Rock & Roll Friday, but I’m taking tomorrow off.
Memories … That’s What We’re All About
Play buttons are on the left … Volume sliders are on the right
Another Throwback Thursday!
McCoys – Tommy James & The Shondells
Monkees – Paul Revere & The Raiders
Dan Seals – B.J. Thomas
Mindbenders – Barry White
Troggs – Kingsmen
Thinking of garage bands brings back some great memories!! There sure was a lot of Hanky Panky back in those days!! And who and heck would have thought that a bunch of Monkees would have a #1 hit song!! Ray didn’t Paul Revere have a Tea Party?? Now this is a Mindbender!! Let me quess you are going to roll up your blue jeans and put on some Bobbi-sox and jump into your 55 T-Bird and run down to the Comtu-Club in Springfield and bob all night long!! Man those were the days!! Those were the answers to all my dreams!! Ray I know what a Kingmen is but I never could figure out what a Troggs was!! Oh well just another mystery by the Master Mind of Streamingoldies !! Oh well I guess I gotta go now!! And yes peace love and happiness to all!! After all my little girl is waiting for me!!
love ya!!
Fred, I was thinking about you the whole time I was putting this together! Your expansive (and wonderful) commentary proves you still have it, you really have it!
Love Ya!
Hey Fred, this was super-duper! Missed you the last few days. I think maybe the Troggs may be a cross between toads and froggs!!
He got to go. Thursday or Friday medley the music was great & the memories were too. Thanks Ray & a good day & weekend to you. 🙂 🙂 Lee & Ted
Thanks, guys! 🥰
I’m very glad the music brought back some wonderful memories. 🙂

The last one in this mix definitely made me want more!
Thanks, Jim! It’s always good to leave the crowd wanting more 😉
Enjoyed them all. Thanks so much and have a lovely day/weekend.
Thank you, Nancy! 🥰
Have a wonderful weekend!
Are we the luckiest people in the world, to have our own personal, DJ, to spin them up every day, those wonderful songs from our time! This was a wonderful way to end up the week! I might just play this again tomorrow. And speaking of tomorrow, I want to wish Dylan a wonderful outcome with his surgery, and the Lord’s guiding hands for the surgeon! As part of the streamingoldies family, He is in my prayers! Loved Tommy James and the Shondells, and BJ Thomas! Not that I didn’t love them all, but they were my faves! And as you say, every single day, peace, love and happiness! You’re the best! 🥰
Thank you, Sandy, not only for your wonderful medley comments 🥰, but also for your prayers for Dylan tomorrow! ❤️
Great medley again today, Ray. Hope you have a great long weekend.
Thank you, Pat 🥰
Tomorrow is the date of Dylan’s surgery. Wendy is flying to Pittsburgh today and will stay with Dylan about a week as he begins to recuperate.
Have a fantastic weekend!
Prayers going out for Dylan and his surgeons.
Thank you, Pat ❤️

It’s tomorrow, Fred. I will keep everyone updated. 🥰
Thought I was at a community dance at the Congo Church or Contu with some great local garage bands
You often feature a selection that I never decoded — Dan Seals
Thanks for continually expanding my musical enjoyment
That was the feeling I was going for, Mary Helen! 🥰
