Remember they used to do those free concerts in Point State Park and 3 Rivers???

I saw Chuck Berry, Jimmy Beaumont/Skyliners, The Association... Man so many I can't remember, that was back in the 80's though.

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

Before Ray Steven's "GuiTarzan" , there was:

The Hollywood Argyles -- Alley OOP

Long John Baldry -- Don't Try to Lay no Boogie Woogie on the King Of Rock'n'Roll.

Scott MacKenzie: "San Francisco (Flowers in Your Hair)"

Richard Harris: "Mac Arthur Park"

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.

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

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...
