March 10th to 16th, 2019
We had a double whammy on the show this week. First off, the Spotlight Year was 1968, a great year for music and I played some of the great ones for you. Also, in recognition of changing the clocks by moving them forward one hour, I played many "time-ly" songs such as Turn Back The Hands Of Time, Time Won't Let Me, Time Has Come Today, and many more. For a complete list of the songs I played, go to the Listen page and scroll down to this week's Playlist. I was also very pleased to hear from many listeners who commented on the even better sound of the show. We've made some adjustments to the audio output and according to you, it has made a big difference. Thanks for letting me know; always trying to make things even better for your listening enjoyment.Be sure to join me next week for the annual Name Game Special Every song will have the name of a person in the song title. So if your name is Barbara, Billy, Diane, Michael, Susan or John as examples, you'll hear a song named for you. And of course, I'll start off the show with Shirley Ellis and her huge hit and the inspiration for the special, The Name Game.
Is your birthday coming up soon? If it is, I'd like to help celebrate your special day on the show. Send the details to [email protected]. I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the air and also play Birthday by The Beatles for you.
Voice Your Choice spotlights The Stylistics with some of their sweet soul music. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Betcha By Golly Wow or You Are Everything. I'll play the winner in the third hour of next week's show.
This week the Top Five Countdown is from 1968, this week's Spotlight Year. The Number One song is by Otis Redding. (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay is playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog.
