Love
is definitely in the air this week on TreasureIsland Oldies. No it's not something in the water - it's something in the
music. Of course, I'm talking about our Annual Valentine's Day Special. Many thanks for your Requests and Dedications; they sure
added to the show again this week. If you missed the Live show, be sure to
Listen to the Archive, especially on Valentine's Day itself. You'll hear some
wonderful Lost Treasure love songs including
Love Eyes by Nancy Sinatra, two versions of the great Everlasting Love, first by Robert
Knight, then later in the show by Carl
Carlton. And it wouldn't be Valentine's Day without hearing from two key
members of the Rat Pack, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra with That's
Amore and My Funny Valentine. It
was also really good to hear some Troggs
songs sprinkled throughout the show in tribute to Reg Presley, the lead singer of the group who passed away last
week.
Our
next scheduled special will be March 17th
for the Annual One Hit Wonders Special.
You won't want to miss this special. It's quite interesting just how many big
hits were recorded by artists who never hit the charts again.
Happy Birthday wishes go out this week to
Guylaine Coté in Quebec City, Quebec.
If you have a birthday coming up, send the details of your name, city and
birthday date to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
I'll help you celebrate by wishing you Happy Birthday on the show and I'll also
play Birthday for you by The Beatles.
The
Treasure Island Oldies Blog is doing
double duty this week in tribute to Reg
Presley, lead singer of The Troggs
who passed away last week, and also for Valentine's Day. Here are The Troggs in an original promo video
clip with Love Is All Around. It's
our Song Of The Week. Enjoy!
Next
week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice
Your Choice presents Dr. Hook &
The Medicine Show with two of their biggest hits. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Sylvia's Mother or The Cover Of Rolling Stone. I'll play the winner in the 3rd hour of
next week's show.
Here's
the Rock & Roll News for the week of February 10th:

here's the Top 5 Countdown from this
week in 1959:
Have
a great week and Happy Valentine's Day.
Bye
for now.
