actually, I don't. I'm just old and remember a lot when it comes to music.....
When I was growing up 3WS was the big band lawrence welk station -- for a while there I was a WYEP kinda guy, but me and lee ferraro had a falling out over artistic values about six years ago.

I have older siblings who were bringing home all kinds of chuck brinkman, pork the tork and terry lee stuff -- yeah, the stones at Westview Park, James Brown at the Red Raven in Elizabeth, the Temptations at the twin coaches on 51 -- it was fertile back then.

never got into the oldies revivals either, but always remembered the good old stuff.

here's one for you -- Marshall Tucker, Black Oak Arkansas and Frampton's Camel in 72 at the Alpine Ice Arena in Wilkinsburg

Great song, sweety... unfortunately, the title of this thread is "one hit wonders". As a band, the Bee Gees had more hits than any other except the Beatles.

There was a time when any form of mental illness could be sterotyped by having your character wear a Napolean hat and insert his hand into the buttons of his or her shirt.

While I remember the bands, I was only 5 years old in 1972. Wink

I do remember the tail end of rock bands playing out at West View Park as a kid (late 70's)

And like you, I seem to remember a lot when it comes to music. My uncle and father own a bar up in PGH. As a teen (uderage drinking) we would sit around on a Saturday afternoon and drink a few while listening to 3WS and a song would start playing and immediately someone would blurt out arist, title and year. We kept a running score.

I do it now to my wife but she isn't amused.

Ahhhh, the "electric lunch" is cooking. I like the sounds of the summer of love. This was a big transition period for music as you can see with the selections provided here from 1965-1967.

enjoy



Shirley Bassey, 1965



The Capitols, 1966



The Swinging Medallions, 1966



A song that questioned the war in Vietnam?

For what it's worth, Buffalo Springfield, 1967



The Lemon Pipers, Green Tambourine, 1967


Back tonight with some more...

Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey

This one was done not too long ago and she still has quite a voice. Enjoying hearing this one again and thanks for the reminder.

I was 13 years old in 1965. Smile

Purple People Eater by Sheb Wooley in 1958. This along with other comedic niche songs by David Seville and The Three Chipmunks and Allan Sherman (Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah)) were great fun...although I wonder what adults must have thought about them.

Shirley recently did a GREAT album with the techno-pop group PropellerHeads -- it's on a bunch of my mix CD's, and when anyone in the know over 40 hears it they lite up and ask me if that's Shirley.

History Repeating -- this is classic Shirley and it's GREAT!!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UMpjpuVors&feature=related


She also did a bunch of remixes with them of her old stuff -- IT'S GREAT!!!!!!

and at 60 (in the video) she is quite the GILF

Sorry, but without mentioning names, you're not as big a music afficianado as you believe. Razz

My pick would have to be 1910 Fruitgum Company;
1-2-3 Red Light.
Another one, though I can't think of the group, is Red Rubber Ball.

Wow!! All good stuff here, people. However, not one of you has mentioned what was probably a regional hit : Tar and Cement by Verdell Smith from the summer of '66.
