March
10th, 2013 to march 16th, 2013
What a week it has
been; five fallen stars: Claude
King, Kenny Ball, Stompin' Tom Connors, Jewel Akens and Alvin Lee
from Ten Years After. It was my pleasure to pay tribute to them all on this
week's show. Be sure to check out the Playlist to find out where in the show
their songs got played and you can hear them on the show Archive.
Next
week on the show it's our
Annual One Hit Wonders Special.
You'll hear all kinds of hit records but what they all have in common is the
fact they appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 charts one time and one time only. I
know you'll enjoy this special. Then in two weeks, March 24th, Tom Locke, the creator of our long standing
weekly feature, Moment In Time,
will join me in the studio for a one hour mini special. We'll play Tribute Records To The Artists And Music Of The '50s
And '60s. This will be an interesting hour with Tom! You won't want
to miss it.
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.
This week the Treasure Island Oldies Blog is paying
tribute to one of the five artists who died this past week. In a live
performance clip from the TV show Shindig, it's Jewel Akens with The Birds And The Bees. It's our Song Of The Week. R.I.P. Jewel
Akens
The spotlight on
Voice Your Choice turns to
Motown Records for the solo part
of the outstanding career of Diana Ross. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice
page for either Remember Me or
Last Time I Saw Him. I'll play
the winner in the 3rd hour of next week's show.
You now have a choice of either YouTube or Podcast to check out the Rock And Roll News for the week of March
10th:
Listen to the Top 5 Countdown from 1962
Hope you have a great
week. See you on the Island next
week.
Bye for
now.
Michael
