When was the last time a song from 1960 was played on 10@10?

When AL last did "'60s Chartbusters" -- August 2010.

quite a lineup of tunes, if the list on Wikipedia is correct.

Damn, Fogheads (some of whom are otherwise smart) are making this whole thing needlessly complicated ("What is she doing? Leap-Grammys? WHAT??")  Good gawd almighty.

I do understand the "off-by-one" confusion... i.e. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" may have been nominated for an award in 1965, but I will forever associate the song as being from 1964.

The Grammys ahev always had that problem because their eligibility calendar has often run from September to September or something equally ridiculous.

The Grammys were totally out of sync with the times back then.  I think this is a good song, but 1964 was shaking and quaking!

Ya, I know. But she did have the power to reject the whole concept. Or...maybe she didn't. Anyway, I'll give a BOS for easy listening from George Benson. At least we didn't have to hear "Afternoon Delight", which would have been quite the coincidence for me, since I heard it on XM "70s on 7" in a rented SUV just last week.

If she sticks to format we will 'get' to hear Crapton twice. OTOH, Tina will also make an appearance.

But yeah, in spite of the fact that it's kind of cool we're spanning a long period of time, it's a snoozefest. Perhaps it would have better to include nominees to make it more interesting.

I'm guessing this was her idea, not DC's  -- I can't imagine he was thrilled about "A Summer Place" gracing KFOG's air.  Mellow or not, I'm digging the off-the-wall-ness of the whole thing, considering what DC's edicts have subjected us to.

OTOH: WOS1 Chris Cross.

But she threw in some extra giggles to east the pain..

No, wait.  They INCREASED the pain.  Increased is what I meant. 


(for the record, I didn't mind Percy Faith as much as forced ironic laughter.)

I would have far preferred Winwood. Hated "Don't Worry Be Happy" in '88, and time has not been kind to my feeling regarding the song.
