July 22nd to July 28th, 2018
Here we are in the middle of the summer of 2018 and some great summer songs added to the feel of summer on this week's show. Our Spotlight Year this week is 1960, including the Top Five Countdown. If you missed hearing a song being identified, you can always check out the entire show's playlist. Go to the Listen page and scroll down. The annual Instrumental Gems Wordless Wonders Special is coming up Sunday, August 5th. Judging from the talk in the Treasure Island Oldies chat room, the Nuts in the Hut are really looking forward to this particular special. It stands out as all songs played will be instrumentals. You'll hear some of the biggest and most popular instruments of all time. Have a song you'd like to hear? Send an email to requests@treasureislandoldies.com
Do you have a birthday coming up soon? Please let me know so that I can help you celebrate your special day with the Island listeners around the world. Send the date info to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com. I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the show and also play Birthday by The Beatles for you.
The Top Five Countdown this week is from our Spotlight Year 1960. Brenda Lee is in at the Number One spot with I'm Sorry. It's now playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Treasure Island Oldies Blog.
The two lovers who were not lovers, Paul and Paula, are in the Voice Your Choice spotlight with two of their hits. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Young Lovers or First Quarrel. Both songs are what I'd consider Lost Treasures and I'll play the winner on the next week's show.
Listen to this week's Rock and Roll News Podcast.
Have a great week and see you next Sunday for the Live show starting at 6 pm Pacific.
Bye for now.
Michael
