God, I love the music of 1968. There is such a wonderful balance to most of it, combining melody and pop appeal with creativity, originality and nuance.
These artists are certainly disparate from one another – I don’t think anyone would be compelled to compare the Rolling Stones and the Cowsills – but both created music that was unique for its time and full of personal ideas that did not rely on audience demands. Different styles meant different target audiences, but I still love all of it. This may be my very favorite time period in the history of pop music.
Here’s a list of songs featured in today’s program;
1) Mrs. Robinson – Simon and Garfunkel
2) Folsom Prison Blues – Johnny Cash
3) Pictures of Matchstick Men – Status Quo
4) Tiptoe Through the Tulips – Tiny Tim
5) Sky Pilot – Eric Burden & the Animals
6) Reach Out of the Darkness – Friend and Lover
7) Angel of the Morning – Merilee Rush
8) Grazing in the Grass – Hugh Masekela
9) Master Jack – Four Jacks and a Jill
10) Indian Lake – The Cowsills
11) Stoned Soul Picnic – 5th Dimension
12) This Guy’s in Love with You – Herb Alpert
