Today, we continue our series of decade-related programming with a look back 40 years to April 1967. We begin with a look at six songs that debuted on the top 40 during this month, five great, and one that is, well, not so great…or is it? We follow this with a glance at two classic albums that also debuted this month 40 years ago. Here are a few more classic songs from a classic era – the spring before the ‘Summer of Love’.

1) The Happening – The Supremes

2) Sweet Soul Music – Arthur Conley

3) Girl You’ll Be a Woman Soon - Neil Diamond

4) Friday on My Mind – The Easybeats

5) My Back Pages – The Byrds

6) I Got Rhythm – The Happenings (as a ‘Great Miss’)

7) Dr. Feelgood – Aretha Franklin

8) Do Right Woman – Do Right Man – Aretha Franklin

9) Once I Loved – Frank Sinatra
