June 2nd to June 8th, 2019
Welcome to this week's Island Update. The Spotlight Year this week is 1968, another year with so many great records released for fans to enjoy. And I really enjoyed playing some of them for you, including There Was A Time by James Brown, The Montanas' You've Gotta Be Loved, Sly & The Family Stone's Dance To The Music, and so many others. For the complete list of all songs played this week, go to the Listen page and scroll down to this week's Playlist.A couple of program reminders for you. First off, it's the Annual Father's Day Special, live Sunday, June 16th. Then the following week, June 23rd join me for the annual Summer Beach Party! I look forward to your company for these specials.
