It’s Hump Day and we have a few oldies you have never heard here before (and may never hear again). For example, it’s pretty much a given I don’t play a lot of Donny Osmond songs but the majority of songs in this medley are all connected to this date in music history, so today, little Donny fits.
We also have a song by a trio of siblings (no, not the Bee Gees) that is here for the same reason as Donny. They had a massive hit and a #1 song on this date, just like that little Osmond fella.
And of course, there are rock songs, pop songs, and a song by a legend who passed on this date. It’s all designed to get you over that hump!

Good Morning Ray, Once again, thank you for an interesting mid week medley & the memories. Hope you have a good day 🙂 Lee & Ted
Lee & Ted, thank YOU for taking the time to listen! Have a wonderful day! 🥰🥰
Thanks for playing Bobby Vinton, he’s always been one of my favorite ❤️
It is my pleasure. Thank YOU for listening! ❤️
Such a great medley this was, opening with the Eagles and stepping into one of the Browns greatest hits. I always thought little Jimmy Brown was their best. I was always a fan of Bobby Vee and Bobby Vinton. Love their songs. And then, of course, the Beach boys song was awesome. Thank you for that, and the Bee Gees. God, I love that group. Thank you for the shout out. I had no idea that Donny Osmond was only 13 when he sang that song, go away little girl! Wow the things I’ve learned on this website. You are a great teacher. I also had no idea that Jimi Hendrix was only 27 years old when he died. Thank you for this midweek, wonderful medley, and remember you are the best! 🥰
Thank you, Sandy. I am very impressed you actually remembered the Browns song. Having a #1 song for four straight weeks during the Elvis frenzy period was amazing! Kudos to them!
I am, as always, very glad you enjoyed the music! Knock today out of the park! 🥰
Wow, loved going back to listen to some of these that I used to love, but hadn’t heard in a long time, so thank you! Have a great day! <3
Thank you, Nancy. I am so glad you enjoyed them and I’m happy the songs brought back a few memories! ❤️
Another great medley in the books …. thank you for the Bee Gees … I still say they were under appreciated!
Have a wonderful day my friend
XXOO
Thank you, Penny. You keep praising the Bee Gees and I’ll keep on playing them!
XOXO
Sure was no Heartbreak with the opener as it really rocked us
Low Down a total fave
Donny Osmond…well ok, good factoid
This was a great date for great tunes across so many genres!
Jimmy Brown memorable and haunting

Nothing not to like with this one
Thank you, Mary Helen. I didn’t want to play anything Osmond, but hey, the kid was at #1. I’ve got a very similar situation coming up on Friday with another #1 tune. Rather fitting that I started out with “Heartache Tonight” since it was co-written by JD Souther, who passed this morning.
I’m very happy you enjoyed it! 🥰
Terrific group of songs and memories! Listened to it 3 times on our trip today.
Thank you, Jim. I hope the trip was enjoyable and the driving easy. Have a great vacation!
