This Week On Trerasure Island Oldies - Week Of March 17, 2013


March 17th, 2013 to March 23rd, 2013

Man, what a huge variety of major and minor hits we heard this week on our Annual One Hit Wonders Special. I'd like to thank you for the many requests I received too. It's always fun hearing from you. Please keep in touch. If it's a request, then Click the Requests Button on any page of the website. If you'd like to send a note or have a question or comment, etc., get in touch with michael@treasureislandoldies.com.

Next week on the show, I'll be joined in the studio by Tom Locke. As you know, Tom is the creator, researcher and writer of the weekly feature, Moment In Time. We're going to do a mini special in the early portion of the show, Tribute Records to the Music and Artists of the '50s and '60s. Be sure to listen.

Happy Birthday to my good friend, long time listener, and weekly contributor to the show with Rick's Rare Rock And Roll Relic, Rick Canode in Madison, Wisconsin. All the best to you Rick. And best wishes also to Joel Drucker in Randolph, New Jersey; long time CHUM Toronto newsman, Mike Cleaver in Vancouver, British Columbia, and to Gerry O'Day in Penticton, British Columbia. 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 playing a great One Hit Wonder in celebration of our Annual One Hit Wonders Special. From Toronto, Ontario it's Motherlode in a rare promo clip for When I Die. It's our Song Of The Week. Enjoy!

As this coming week is the beginning of spring, it's a perfect week to spotlight one of the great Motown Girl Groups. Voice Your Choice presents Martha And The Vandellas. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice Page for either Heatwave or I'm Ready For Love. I'll play the winner in the third hour of next week's show. I wonder which song will end up the winner. A tie maybe?

Here's the Rock And Roll News for the week of March 17th

Bye for now.
