A TIME FOR CHANGE – JANUARY 1969

PLAY THE SHOW

  In retrospect, it is quite astounding to look at 1969 from a musical perspective. It is a relative observation, but I believe that music changed significantly in this one year more than any other. A comparison of January 1969 to February 1969 would offer a representative study of my viewpoint, and we’ll cover this next month when we take a look at February 1969. Meanwhile, today’s show offers a broad panoply of styles and sounds, with an emphasis on a variety of album tracks.

1)    Everyday People – Sly & the Family Stone
