PLAY THE SHOW            

By the Spring of 1969, pop music’s transition from confection to personal expression was complete. Mixed in with psychological observations and pensive reflections was a huge amount of psychobabble on cultural impressions. It was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius!

Today’s show features a few random pop songs from that era. We’ll save album tracks for another show. Songs include;

1)    Only the Strong Survive – Jerry Butler

2)    Grazing in the Grass – Te Friends of Distinction

3)    These Eyes – The Guess Who

4)    The Boxer – Simon and Garfunkel

5)    Stand! – Sly & the Family Stone

6)    First of May – The Bee Gees

7)    No, Not Much – The Vogues (as a ‘Bad Hit’)

8)    Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In – The Fifth Dimension

9)  Hair – The Cowsills
