Had the coolest dream. On air and played rare songs by Crazy Elephant,White Plains and James and Bobby Purify. You suppose that means something
Love the show!!!
My Dancing Days
The quiet click of the radio
Fills the room with sound
Memories of my distant past
Spin my head around
The Sound of Soul and Motown
Stand the test of time
Better than flares and tank tops
My Seventies fashion crime
I liked a bit of Philly
The voice of Billy Paul
Atlantic tracks and some from Stax
But Motown most of all
Marvin Gaye was getting it on
Diana was Supreme
Little Stevie Wonder
Was lighting up the scene
Barrett Strong sang his song,
He only wanted money
Smokey, he just Shopped Around,
The Contours thought it Funny
It was a time of more than music
It was a time of learning life
The music seemed to point the way
Through happy days, and strife
Each song just told a story
Sent emotions off the chart
Each word, so sweet, was glory
Each beat just grabbed my heart
Mr Gordy somehow tracked my tears
Memories engrained through all my years
When my world was turning upside down
I felt so safe with him around
It was my rock that kept me sane
When music hits, you feel no pain
So thank you Mr Motown
For the music of my youth
Also of my middle years
And now when long in tooth
So when life is done and I’m on my way
Mr Big Stuff off to meet
To Stevie’s Higher Ground
At the Dark End of The Street
I’ll have my party up in Heaven
With Marvin and a Party Seven
A dance with Martha in the street
My Harlem Shuffle with a Motown beat
But if down below is where I go
That’s alright with me
I’ll have some fun before I’m done
If it’s there I’ve got to be
But this old boy ain't done just yet
There’s music still to hear
Some tunes to play
Before I'm on my way
Before clowns can shed a tear
So all you music lovers
Whatever be your thing
Be you jazz or house, punk or blues,
Metal, pop or swing
I know some are into Reggae
Others, rock and roll
But if music is the food of life
I say fill your bowl with Soul

nice shiny looking 45s
Very proud to carry the Show on 105.7 in Thousand Oaks
Listening to the show now. What happened to Chuck Taylor?
It’s “Almost Summer,” so a Happy Birthday Celebration to Brian Wilson (born June 20, 1942) and featuring Mike Love from 40 years ago (peaking at #28 in Billboard on June 24 and #35 in Cashbox on July 8.)
