Well, this is strange…a show about pop music smack dab in the middle of its most renowned era, and yet not a single song by The Beatles or The Rolling Stones (don’t worry, they will most certainly be making appearances soon), and yet some of my all-time favorite pop music is featured in this program.

Most of these songs are quite well known, but a few get overlooked by the ‘perennial acts’ that never really go away, so it’s nice to hear truly great music from the likes of Lou Christie, Herman’s Hermits, Them and Paul Revere and the Raiders, all from January and February 1966.

Tracks include:

Just Like Me – Paul Revere and the Raiders

Mystic Eyes – Them

Lightning Strikes – Lou Christie

Uptight (Everything Is Alright) – Stevie Wonder

My World Is Empty Without You – The Supremes

Crying Time – Ray Charles

Well Respected Man – The Kinks

It Was a Very Good Year- Frank Sinatra

Ballad of the Green Berets – Sgt. Barry Sadler

These Boots Were Made for Walkin’ – Nancy Sinatra

Listen People – Herman’s Hermits

California Dreamin’ – The Mamas and the Papas

Homeward Bound – Simon and Garfunkel
