Despite the implications of the title for today’s show, great music did not suddenly cease as the Summer of Love came to a close. Quite the opposite happened, actually. Pop music combined a vast multitude of styles and sounds, with genre-bending (not gender-bending – that wouldn’t happen until the early seventies!) songs crossing all sorts of stylistic lines. In 1967, it was easy to hear Aretha Franklin, The Who, and Lulu all on the very same radio station. It was a glorious time, when people actually preferred to hear a variety of styles, and artists were more than happy to oblige.
Songs featured in today’s program represent some of the best songs that were on the top 40 pop charts as the Summer of Love trickled into Autumn. Below is a list of songs featured in today’s show. Tune in to hear a few fun facts, along with some classic music.
1) I Can See for Miles – The Who
2) (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman – Aretha Franklin
3) The Rain, the Park, and Other Things – The Cowsills
4) Memphis Soul Stew – King Curtis
5) Dandelion – The Rolling Stones
6) I Dig Rock and Roll Music – Peter, Paul & Mary (as a ‘Bad Hit’)
7) (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher – Jackie Wilson
8) How Can I Be Sure – The Young Rascals
9) It Must Be Him – Vicki Carr
10) To Sir With Love - Lulu
