FReeper Canteen - Tunes for Our Troops - 27 April 2013

Our Troops Rock!!!!!!!!!!!! | The Canteen DJ's

[Publius]

I’m at the beginning of the third season. Trust no one!

Sam Cooke had written and recorded this song almost 15 years earlier, and now Dr. Hook got a hit out of it. It came in at #6 this week.

Dr. Hook: “Only Sixteen”

[luvie]

LOL! Those shows always scared me they were so weird! :)

[Publius]

The truth is out there!

Thanks, spel, for the Friday night Salsa tunes for the troops to enjoy. ((HUGS))

[Publius]

Disco was the bane of my life, and I was glad to see it go. Every so often though, a Disco number popped up with an infectious tune to go along with that constant bass line. This came in at #4 this week.

The Sylvers: “Boogie Fever”

[Publius]

More Disco, but definitely catchy. It came in at #3.

Maxine Nightingale: “Right Back Where We Started From”

[Publius]

Remember the Beatles? Paul McCartney’s first backup band? Paul now had a new band, and he would play a role in this era as he did in the Sixties, although the role would be a lot less revolutionary. He didn’t have John Lennon’s cynicism or mordant sense of humor, which meant that the Smiling Beatle would smile all through this era. This song pretty much defines what he was about. It came in at #24 on its way to #1.

Wings: “Silly Love Songs”

[Publius]

In its earliest incarnation 40 years ago, it was known as “Jesus Rock”, and this tune was a welcome respite to all that Disco. It came in at #2 this week.

The Bellamy Brothers: “Let Your Love Flow”

The first time I heard the lyrics to this song, I thought it was a sex instruction manual set to music. Then I discovered it was about dancing. Or was it?

It came from an era when a girl would go to a club, drink and dance with a guy, take him home, give him the thrill of his life, and then throw him out on the street in the morning. It was the Age of Disposable Relationships. See what I missed by avoiding Disco?

It came in at #1 this week, and this video is from “Soul Train”.

Johnnie Taylor: “Disco Lady”

And so we end one week of music history 37 years ago. See you tomorrow night! Cue the Rockumentary theme!

San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”
