Title: 25 Oct 2017: it's... 1968
Post by: CapnJack on October 25, 2017, 07:54:24 AM
10/25:

On today’s edition of Soundwaves 10@10, we’ll hear the hit song that first chartered as an
instrumental, the Marvin Gaye classic that covered a #2 Gladys Knight hit from the year
before, and the Beatles smash that John Lennon felt should have been the B-side.

Standard stuff -- and really, I never need to hear "Hey Jude" ever again --  but I wonder if we'll get the loooong version of the Chambers Bros hit.   Not sure what the "first charted as an instrumental" song is.

I'm guessing "Soulful Strut" ("Am I The Same Girl?")

So this bothered me too... it may well be "Spooky", originally an instrumental by somebody named Mike Sharpe. Trusty Wiki!
