What a week! The 50th
Anniversary of the first appearance by The
Beatles on TV’s the Ed Sullivan Show.
73 million people in the United States alone watched that historic performance
by John (sorry girls, he’s married), Paul, George and Ringo. I was so pleased
to play back that first appearance by the Fab Four. It’s a night that 73
million plus people have in common to this day. Next week I’ll play their
second appearance, this time the show was on remote live from Florida. In
addition to the 50th Anniversary this week, it’s also Valentine’s
week and our Annual Valentine’s Day
Special on Treasure Island Oldies. Thanks for your email, chat room and
Listener Line requests; I was pleased to play your songs. And we’ll continue to
spotlight 1964 with many songs from that year on next week’s show.
Happy
Birthday wishes go out to Guylaine Coté
in Quebec City, Quebec. If you have
a birthday coming up or know of someone’s birthday you’d like me to extend
greetings to, be sure to let me know by sending the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com. I’ll also play Birthday by The Beatles for you.
The Treasure Island Oldies Blog
is celebrating Valentine’s Day this week with a very cool tune from a little
known group other than their one hit. It’s The
People with I Love You, recorded
live at the San Jose Rock Hall of Fame event in 2007. It’s our Song of the
Week. Enjoy!
