… There weren’t too many prototypes of songs of that nature …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]This is hour 20 of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, contributed by Norm Garr. Norm’s recordings are copies from the tapes given to listeners who won a complete set of this original HR&R. They are one generation down from the masters, containing program content only – no news, no commercials. It was originally broadcast by KHJ on Saturday, February 22, 1969.
This part was broadcast between 7 and 8 AM. Our host is Robert W. Morgan.
1963 is the focus of this segment, another era of Top 40 music that boasts outstanding variety. You’ll hear comments from Dionne Warwick, Trini Lopez and Gerry Goffin.
You’ll also hear a rare mistake in the script. The hit by Sammy Davis, Jr. was not from Fiddler On The Roof, but from Stop The World, I Want To Get Off.
