Where were you on Thursday, March 23, 1967? I was in my freshman year at a small engineering college in Philadelphia, in ROTC, and DJ and Music Director at that college’s radio station. I had no idea that college radio would lead to something absolutely astounding in a Top 20 market just five years away, and my biggest concern was how Vietnam was going and whether it would still be going on in 1971 when I graduated. (I was in a five year program.) So let’s cue the Rockumentary theme!
San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”
This song was a hit for the Shirelles in 1959, and it’s really not all that great a song, at least not in the Shirelles’ hands. Lou Adler turned it into a work of art with Michelle Phillips on lead vocals. It came in at #10.
Thank you! Sometimes it’s hard to keep up and time just zooms by! :)
