This Week On Treasure Island Oldies

This week on Treasure Island Oldies

February 21st. 2010 to February 27th, 2010

Not only are the streets of downtown Vancouver packed with people celebrating the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the Treasure Island Oldies Chat Room was packed too, and I was pleased to welcome JJ from Pickering, Ontario for his first time visit. The regular Nuts in the Hut were most welcoming and within a few minutes, JJ seemed like a long time friend in the chat room. He was recommended to listen to the show from various oldies music sites, including the prestigious Spectropop, and has been listening for about four weeks now. He commented on how great the music was, the quality of the signal and the rock solid stream he was enjoying. Thanks, JJ, good to have you as a new listener. It would great to have you check out the Chat Room too. During the live show Sunday nights, click Chat on the Menu on any page of the website and follow the instructions to log on. It is very easy to do and you'll find that the chat room adds a new dimension to your enjoyment of the show.

Thank for your comments about being able to hear the Top 5 Countdown at any time. I know you don't always have a huge amount of time to listen to the entire four hour show. By listening to the Top 5 Countdown, you can still enjoy a segment of the show featuring the biggest songs from this week in Rock and Roll history. Go to the  Listen page and scroll down to the Top 5 Countdown logo and click on the button.

Bobby Bare - Voice Your Choice

Bobby Bare was born April 7, 1935 in Ironton, Ohio. He had an interesting start to his career, when in 1958 this singer/songwriter/guitarist was drafted into the US Army. Before leaving, he recorded a demo and left a tape of The All American Boy with Fraternity Records. To his great surprise, Fraternity released the record and credited Bill Parsons as the artist, in error. For many years, Bobby Bare would have to tell people it was really him singing on that Number 2 song in 1958.

His career really took off in the country music market, and he had 70 country hits on the charts. Meanwhile on the Top 100 charts, he scored 8 singles, with two Top Twenty hits. And it is those two two songs we feature this week on Voice Your Choice: Detroit City and 500 Miles Away From Home.

Make you selection for the song you'd like to hear at the Voice Your Choice page. We'll play the winner in the 3rd hour of next week's show.

Smith with Gayle McCormick - Song of the Week

Smith was a pop rock group from Los Angeles, California. The group consisted of Rick Cliburn and Alan Parker on guitars, Larry Moss on keyboards, Jerry Carter on bass, and on drums, Robert Evans. The lead vocalist was the powerful singer  Gayle McCormick.

Their biggest hit single, the remake of The Shirelles' all-time classic, Baby It's You, is our Song of the Week. Here's Smith performing live on a TV network I don't even recall.

Enjoy!

Dancing In The Streets...In Vancouver

This is just amazing to see. I was in the downtown core at Robson Square yesterday and there were at least 100,000 people; a couple of streets away, there was at least that many on Granville Street. Even down at the Olympic Cauldron there were at least 5 to 10,000 people. I have never seen such spontaneous gathering, singing and flag waving in all my life! What a feeling...Vancouver...what a city!

Check out the atmosphere on Granville Street where this video was taken last Saturday, the 2nd day of the Olympics. If you think it is crowded, it's nothing that has been happening every day when more and more people are here celebrating together.
Enjoy!

This week on Treasure Island Oldies

February 14th, 2010 to February 20th, 2010

What a week! The 2010 Olympic Winter Games are underway in Vancouver, and the city is abuzz. I have never seen this kind of energy here in Vancouver, and I was here during Expo '86. Even non-sports fans are caught up in the Olympic spirit and excitement. And the city literally erupted in joy when the first Gold medal on Canadian soil was won by Alexandre Bilodeau in the Freestyle Skiing - Men's Moguls. What a thrill for Alex, his family, and all of Canada.

http://www.alexbilodeau.com

I truly hope you have an opportunity to watch some of the coverage, wherever you live. You'll get a taste of Vancouver, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And as people began their love affair with Vancouver and Whistler, we celebrated Valentine's Day on the show. Thank you very much for your phone calls, email requests and dedications. It was great to play all your requests.

I'm pleased to let you know that you can now hear the Top 5 Countdown at any time. Click Listen on the Menu and scroll down the page. There will be a new Top 5 Countdown available every week. A big thanks to our Webmaster, Eddy Fisher, for this great new addition to Treasure Island Oldies.

They were the Oldies Artist of the Week on the show and I thought it would be great to have them sing Celebrate, a great song at any time, but perfect for the Olympic celebration in Vancouver.

He was also the very first artist to hit the US charts with a John Lennon and Paul McCartney song, From Me To You, which reached Numbner 77 in 1963.

In the short time span between 1961 and 1966, Del appeared on the Billboard charts sixteen times and had three Top Ten hits including the Number One and Gold Record, Runaway.

The Knack Lead Singer Doug Fieger Dead At 57

LOS ANGELES – The Knack lead singer Doug Fieger, who co-wrote the 1979 hit My Sharona, has died at age 57, the band said on its website on Sunday, February 14.
Fieger was living in Woodland Hills, Calif., and was being treated for cancer, The Detroit News reported.
"Our hearts are broken, we will miss you Doug," band members said on Knack.com.
The band built a large and influential following in the Los Angeles club scene of the late 1970s and recorded its debut album, Get The Knack, which included My Sharona, in 11 days for $17,000.
Capitol Records pulled out all the stops promoting the album and Rolling Stone magazine referred to the band as "the new Fab Four," a reference to the Beatles.
Billboard named My Sharona the No. 1 single of 1979. The song has been covered by numerous artists and returned to music charts in 1994 after it was included on the soundtrack for the hit movie Reality Bites.
Fieger co-wrote My Sharona with bandmate Berton Averre after being initially rebuffed by a teenage girl of the same name in 1978.
Fieger told People magazine in 1995 he had hoped she would be flattered by such lines as "I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind." She eventually dumped her boyfriend, joined Fieger on tour, graduated from high school and became a rock-star girlfriend for three years.
The woman, Sharona Alperin, has been selling real estate to entertainment industry clients in Los Angeles for over 20 years.

Dale Hawkins R.I.P.

Dale Hawkins, best known for his 1957 hit "Suzie Q" (also known as "Suzy-Q"),  died February 13th in Little Rock, Arkansas at the age of 73, of complications from colon cancer.
He had been undergoing treatment at the Arkansas Hospice Center at St. Vincent's Doctors Hospital in Little Rock.
Born August 23, 1936 in Goldmine, Louisiana, Hawkins was a singer, guitarist, and songwriter called "the archictect of 'Swamp Rock Boogie.'"
From his website: ""His swamp rock classic, 'Susie Q,' crackles with the manic energy of that restless time, and conjures instant images of steamy Southern nights. It features a 15-year-old James Burton on guitar, the first of many guitar wizards Dale would discover and nurture. Others included Scotty Moore, Joe Osborn, Roy Buchanan, Fred Carter, Jr., and Kenny Paulsen.

"Dale's early experiments in production in the studios of Shreveport's KWKH with Merle Kilgore and Johnny Horton developed the skills that would later produce hits for the Uniques, Five Americans, Jon & Robin & the In Crowd, Michael Nesmith, Harry Nilsson, and others. Along the way, he even found time to host "The Big Big Beat" aka "The Dale Hawkins Show" on WCAU-TV in Philadelphia."
"Suzie Q" was covered by among others, the Rolling Stones in 1964, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, who recorded an 11-minute quasi-psychedelic version on their first LP in 1968.
Among Hawkins' other hits were "La Do Da Da," later recorded by the Blue Things. He has been inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and The Lousiana Music Hall of Fame.

This week on Treasure Island Oldies

February 7th, 2010 to February 13th, 2010

I admit it, I have come down with Olympic Fever. Just a few days away from the Opening Ceremonies and I am now getting really excited. Driving home tonight I passed people standing on the sidewalk along my street waving their bright red Canadian flags. I discovered that the Olympic Torch Relay was going to be passing right in front of my home. What a thrill. You could feel the energy and excitement of the crowd, made up of all ages and cultures, and all proud to have the Olympic Torch pass through our neighbourhood. What a treat! I'm really looking forward to attending a complete dress rehearsal of the Opening Ceremonies and will also be going to one of the medals ceremonies to be followed by a concert by Burton Cummings. There is quite a buzz in and around Vancouver and I love it!

Thanks for the nice comments on the new feature, the Oldies Artists of the Week. It's nice to be able to play these mini artist profiles and then follow it up with one of their hit songs. Glad you enjoyed this week's artist, Neil Diamond and his not often heard hit song Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon.

I have been passing on all your great feedback on our new Chat Room to our Webmaster, Eddy Fisher.

I also appreciated your kind words on our Annual Tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper. I am grateful to my friend Red Robinson from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for permitting me to use his interview clips he did back in1959 with Buddy Holly. And speaking of Red, he has donated to the Hall of Fame digital copies of his entire collection of interviews he has done with some of the biggest names in the music world since he was about 15 years old. As Terry Stewart, the President of the Hall of Fame, said "There are interviews here with artists that nobody else has. Period. End of story. For us to have access to them is just incredible". These precious interviews will now be protected and accessible for generations to come. Fantastic, Red!

Next week on the show is our Annual Valentine's Special with the added bonus that we will be live on February 14th, Valentine's Day itself.

It is NOT difficult to log into the Chat Room, but you must follow the instructions completely. For full details, click Chat on the Menu. Please note that the visually impaired are encouraged to use IRC software as it is easy for screen readers to assist with connecting and chatting. The Nuts are definitely back in the Hut!

Bobby Vee was born Robert Velline on April 30, 1943 in Fargo, North Dakota.
