It’s a year of highs and lows for the USA with two political assassinations. The country enjoys Olympic success and tries to deal with it all by taking some good advice: just let your hair down for a while.
Bill Drake and Robert W. Morgan are the voices behind 1968 in this KHJ-specific version of the program with ample jingles and month-specific news highlights. And, we finally get the official copyright announcement that seems to have vanished from previously-presented GOLDEN YEAR chapters.
16 GOLDENS include: some psychedelic “cream”; you’ll learn why I’ve been so hyper since birth; what those Rascals believe everyone must be; we visit with that lady who’s trying to seduce Dustin Hoffman; and we will discover the true color of LOVE!
Gary Puckett of The Union Gap shares his secrets for the success of the group’s hit records; John Kay of Steppenwolf says timing is everything; Bobby Goldsboro is surrounded by the best in the business; Bert Bacharach has a few “million sellers” just lying around, so he gives one to Herb Alpert; and P.T.A. politics inspire Jeannie C. Riley’s biggest hit!
