February 16th to 22nd, 2020
This week on Treasure Island Oldies we cracked the decade of the '70s, as the Spotlight Year was 1970. With artists like Three Dog Night, Neil Diamond, the Bee Gees, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, Kenny Rogers, Joni Mitchell, and countless others, it was a great start to the new decade. For a complete list of every song I played on the show this week, including the Top Five Countdown, go to the Listen page and scroll down to the Playlist.
Have you ever wanted to be on the radio? Well you can be, in name that is! Hear your name on The Name Game Special, coming up Sunday, March 15th. Listen and you just may hear your name in a song title. It's a fun show named in honour of Shirley Ellis.
If your birthday is coming up soon, I'd like to help you celebrate your birthday with all the show's listeners. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com. I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the air and also play Birthday by The Beatles for you.
Next week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice features the multi-stage career of The Bee Gees. While some prefer their mid-'60s or early '70s hits, others really love their music from what may be referred to as the Saturday Night Fever era. I've two songs from their earlier period for your votes this week on Voice Your Choice. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either I've Got To Get A Message To You or Words. I'll play the winner on next week's show.
The Top Five Countdown is from 1970. This week's Number One song is by Sly and The Family Stone. The cleverly worded title Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Agin) is playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog.

I hope you have a good week. Here's a final thought for you to contemplate. We're just about one month away from Spring! Take care.
Bye for now.
