The oldies still live at....

Because it is an oldies station at 92.9 in the Hudson Valley that doesn't come into New York City. That's why NYC doesn't get an oldies station at all, thanks to CBS-FM's format change from last year.

I don't understand his point.

That's alright. No one else does either. The oldies station in the Hudson Valley has NOTHING to do with NYC. As he says, it's too far away.

Yeh, I noticed Chaimberlane's other hits (covers) and boy those old gals that loved the ol' dreamboat must feel really surprised since he came out.

15 or 20 from each year is NOT enough, BUT 3,750 divided by 15 years = 250. When you consider that about 100-120 songs made the Top 10 (pick any station or chart) back in those days, 250 is an awful lot.
Yes, 3,750 songs is a lot of music, but I'm sure many will agree there were a LOT of stiffs in there!! Doris Day- I'll Never Stop Loving You??? Poor Jenny - Everly Bros.? Be careful, stiffs like those will have ppl searching for a different station. Although "I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door" was a cute song in it's day Summer of '61. I was just a kid then, too :)

Annette had "O Dio Mio" and "Tall Paul" they were OK, "Pineapple Princess" was a stiff IMO.

Anyway props to AlGore (he got my vote 3X)

np: "Go On With The Wedding" - Patti Page --- Are you kidding me??? (#11 in 1956)

Sorry to critique so much, but maybe you should have an alternate site for MOR stuff??

LOL -- You just reminded me of a couple more oldies klunkers: "Please Love Me Forever" by Cathy Jean and the Roommates and "Let's Get Together" by Hayley Mills!
 
Except that "Please Love Me Forever" was a big hit and did get airplay on a lot of oldies stations. However I feel your pain when/if you hear it. I seem to recall Dan Ingram always had a field day with it.

"Let's Get Together" was a semi-sized hit, cute at the time (was from a movie) but definitely a stiff..... albeit one of the shortest in time 1:40 or something like that.

You're right! "Let's Get Together" was a one-hit wonder by Hayley Mills and it was featured in the original "Parent Trap". "Tall Paul" and "Pineapple Princess" are just the two songs made by Annette her post-original MMC years.

Actually, Mills charted again with "Johnny Jingo", her follow-up to "Lets get together". Also clocked in at under two minutes. (I have both on my I-pod). "Jingo" sounded like something straight out of the 1920s. Bright, bouncy, syrupy tune with a seriously dated arrangement. Apparently Walt Disney had the idea in the early sixties that twenties music was about to make a comback. It didn't.
