Did you know when Burdon discovered the members of War, they were Deacon Jones’ (yes, the LA Rams great) backing band.
In my shelf of “to read” books is this one about the guy who is supposed to have “perfected” the top 40 radio format. I was always a bit too poor forty years ago to buy a whole lot of music, so I listened mostly to the radio.
Hell, now that I’m solvent enough to afford to buy the stuff, it’s available for nearly free!
