New show on Q105

[MusicMan11]

Q105 is debuting a new show on Sunday night - 60s Sunday night. Scotty Phillips - former Thunder afternoon host - will play tunes from the era that you just don't hear on the radio much anymore.

should be a good time.....

There's no mention of it on their website. Is this show going to include ALL the hits from 1960 thru 1969? Or will it be only the ones the consultant approved.

 

[MusicMan11]

ah, negative frank......i listen to the station. they have been talking about it all day. i would imagine, from what scotty said, it's going to be songs from 60-69.

if it's from consultants, i hope they are not as negative as frank........

its about the music, smile frank, smile.....

 

[Studio20]

fair enough. If it is about the music...then the question is legitimate. How is the playlist composed?

At least we will go several hours without any "Huey Lewis" hits...good man that he is....but I'm betting on some "Chicago" making the sunday night cut.....

 

[ScottLedger]

I'm sure Mr Phillips and Mason will do a great job at that specialty show. It's been great to hear Scotty back on the air lately. I've missed him. But not in a man crush kinda way.

 

[MusicMan11]

I would imagine they will allow scotty to play requests, so if you have a favorite give him a call. I used to listen to him at thunder doing rock and roll jeopardy.....he's a good guy.

some hendrix, old bob seger........hopefully it won't be the same old tired stuff, but i am gonna tune in to see what it's all about.......turn down the sound on the pats-colts game and crank up the tunes!!

and scotty ledger...i really like what you are doing at night on the animal.

I've had the good fortune to work with BOTH Ledge and Scotty. Class acts and I hope our paths cross again some day. Best wishes to both.

If it's only what the consultants okay, it will likely be very little of anything before '66 or '67, and even then only the biggies that have been played to death like When A Man Loves a Woman or Mustang Sally.

I hope it's REAL 60s such as Runaway by Del Shannon, Walk Like a Man by the Four Seasons, the Duke of Earl and some Brenda Lee and doo-wop too.

And Phil Spector! Wasn't much doo wop in the 60's. That was more a product of the 50's. In fact, prior to the British Invasion, except for Spector, there was a real soft period of time. After the death of Buddy Holly the music died. Feb 3, 1959. Then, after the Kennedy assasination, the Beatles brought back the music. Barry Gordy made black music for white kids. British groups imitated Little Richard and Chuck Berry.

It's a myth that rock and roll died after Buddy Holly.
Though there was a string of softer music like the teen idols (Fabian, Frankie Avalon, Connie Francis, etc.), there still was plenty of rock and roll going on.

To name a few...

The Everly Bros.
The Four Seasons (Walk Like A Man rocked!)
Del Shannon
Gary U.S. Bonds
The Ventures. "Walk Don't Run" - one of the greatest rock instrumentals of all time. Its guitar chords rank with Smoke On The Water.
Elvis- though he was doing more ballads.
The Beach Boys
Booker T. & The MG's. Green Onions.

The Beatles did reinvigorate rock and roll, but it was still there, especially 1963...

Very true, Doug, there was some good product after "the music died", however, the Beatles were Buddy Holly and The Crickets, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and The Comets, Little Richard, and Elvis all rolled into one package. The Rolling Stones were Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, & Bo Didley. That period of time between the day the music died and JFK's death were lean times and the Beatles just reinvented simple, happy 3 chord rock and roll and went back to the rockabilly and r&B roots that were the foundation of rock and roll. Special mention should be given to Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis for laying the groundwork as well.
