The long weekend is over. But there’s good news! It’s only five days until next Friday so let’s get the ball rolling!
We’ve got three #1 songs (one of them includes a backstory for Mary Helen), a rare gem from a band known for cartoon songs, a song that reached #12 but is now almost forgotten, a powerhouse vocal from Tom Jones, and a lot more!
It’s not Friday yet, but this is a good start! 🙂
Memories … That’s What We’re All About

A Memory Filled Time Machine
Beatles – Four Seasons
Strawberry Alarm Clock – Cowsills
The Who – Royal Guardsmen
Young Rascals – Tom Jones
Hombres – Tom Petty
Wow, transported back to the cafeteria at Riverside where the 1st song played many, many times & yes, I sang along. Actually I hummed or sang along throughout the medley & I have to agree with Mary Helen, I enjoy the backstory too. Thank you for a memorable musical melody. Have a good day Ray 🙂 Lee
Thanks, Lee. 🙂 As I said to Jim earlier, I enjoy digging up those backstories!
The Cowsills doing Hair???
Can’t believe Pinball Wizard didn’t do better…too long for radio play?
Not sure I remember the Hombres…
What could be wrong with a medley including the Beatles, Rascals, Petty and the voice of Tom Jones
You would be among the few who remembered the Hombres. A here today, gone tomorrow group.
Glad you enjoyed most of it!:)
Great start to our new week, thanks so much. <3
You are very, very welcome! ❤
Good music and a few great memories. Thanks for all you do to make our days a little better.
Thank you, Pat. You always manage to make MY days better. ❤
I’m sliding in at the end of Monday to listen to your Monday Medley. (5 mo. into retirement and I now appreciate my retired friends saying their days are filled! No time for “work.”)
Your work brings back great memories, no matter the time of day I listen! Thanks Ray!
Thank you, Terry
I retired from radio in 2007 and thanks to history columns and music medleys, I think I’m working more than ever … but still enjoying it! 🥰
