Jackie joins me to run down the U.K. Top 30
for the week 12th August 1968. Some gems,
a few classics and the odd dud.
Me and Jackie select our 10 favourite girl singers. Plenty of great
ones over the years. The Brit girls of the 60's Lulu, Dusty, Pet, Cilla
and Sandie. Country girls Patsy, Loretta, Tammy and Dolly. From Soul
and Motown Aretha, Diana, Martha and Gladys. Plus plenty of
others. Going to be difficult.
If Now and Zen, the fourth studio album by Robert Plant, sounds like Led Zeppelin, there's more reason for that than just the fact that Plant was the lead singer for the band. In addition to continuing use of computerized technology in the album, Plant also incorporated more blues and Middle Eastern elements into his music. He also had his Led Zeppelin band mate Jimmy Page contributing guitar to a couple of tracks.
Plant wanted to create an album that created electronic music with a more soulful sound than was typical at the time. He also benefitted from a lot of interest in the Led Zeppelin sound. Many hair bands at the time were trying to emulate Led Zeppelin, but struggled to do so in the highly produced commercial atmosphere of the late 80's. The Beastie Boys had even sampled a number of Zeppelin riffs for their album, “License to Ill,” much to Page and Plant's chagrin during the relatively unregulated use of OPM (other people's music) at the time.
The confluence of Plant's direction of combining electronics with blues, and the heightened interest in the Zeppelin sound resulted in the most successful commercial album of Plant's post-Zeppelin career. The album hit number 6 on the U.S. charts, and was certified triple platinum. Three singles would be released from the album.
Brian Dickhute brings us this album.
Heaven Knows
This was the opening track and the first single from the album. The song, written by songwriters Phil Johnstone and David Barratt, is a satirical commentary on the perceived shallowness and lack of attention span of the late 80's. This is one of two tracks on which guitarist Jimmy Page participates.
Dance On My Own
A deeper cut, this song is about being so happy about the girl on the block that you can't stop dancing. Phil Johnstone and Robert Crash co-wrote this song, along with Plant. Johnstone was the producer and keyboardist for the album. This track is more timestamped to the 80's than many of the tracks.
Tall Cool One
This upbeat track is the second one on which fellow Led Zeppelin alumni Jimmy Page contributes guitar work. It also samples a number of Led Zeppelin songs, including "Whole Lotta Love," "Black Dog," and "The Ocean." The title comes from an instrumental work from a 50's group called The Fabulous Wailers, although the songs themselves are not the same.
The Way I Feel
"See what I'm driving at and I'm back behind the wheel. I'm just a little nervous - It's something to do with the way I feel." This is a continuation of “Big Log” from his previous album “The Principle of Moments.”
ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:
I Heard It Through the Grapevine by The California Raisins
The California Raisin Advisory Board caught lightning in a bottle when this claymation commercial with dancing and singing raisins became wildly popular. This song hit the Billboard Hot 100.
STAFF PICKS:
Get It On by Kingdom Come
Wayne rocks out with this Zeppelinesque track from hair band Kingdom Come. This is the group's biggest hit off their first album. The album went to number 12 on the charts. The similarities in vocals to Kashmir are obvious. Critics would refer to the band as “Kingdom Clone.”
Endless Summer Nights by Richard Marx
Rob's staff pick was a big hit on the pop and adult contemporary charts. Chicago native Richard Marx came up in the music business, and benefitted both from production quality and photogenic looks. Marx had 14 top 20 hits, three of which were number 1 hits. And you never can go wrong with a sax!
When We Was Fab by George Harrison
Bruce's staff pick is the last new song Harrison would have to chart in the U.S. It was written as a playful look back on the Beatles days. Jeff Lynne co-wrote the song with Harrison, Gary Wright plays piano, and fellow Beatle Ringo Starr plays drums. The video features a number of cameos, including Paul Simon, Elton John, Jeff Lynne, and Ringo Starr.
What Have I Done to Deserve This by the Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield
Allee Willis, author of “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, and “Neutron Dance” by the Pointer Sisters, co-wrote Brian's pick with the Pet Shop Boys. It is about the hopelessness of a person stuck in a dysfunctional relationship whom they don't have the strength to leave. 60's icon Dusty Springfield contributes vocals to this song, and it would be her largest selling single after “Son of a Preacher Man.”
COMEDY TRACK:
Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley
Well before the Rick Roll became a thing, the original was on the charts, and you get the benefit as our podcast closes out!

While you may think of Motown when you first hear Wilson Pickett, this sound is neither from Detroit or its counterpart from Philadelphia. This is from the deep south with the deep soul of the 2 M's - Memphis and Muscle Shoals. The Exciting Wilson Pickett was Pickett's third studio album and firmly established his credentials as one of the leading lights of Soul music.
Pickett grew up in Alabama, and like many soul singers at the time he got his start in church. He had a contentious relationship with his mother who he described as "the baddest woman in my book." Eventually he went to live with his father - and further honed his singing style - in Detroit.
Many tracks on this album were recorded at Muscle Shoals with a backup band called The Swampers. Lynyrd Skynyrd would cite them as they "were known to pick a song or two." The Swampers would tour with Pickett and form an interracial act during a time when this was unusual..
Wilson Pickett was known by a number of names including "Wild Wilson" or "Wicked Pickett," and was known for his wild lifestyle. He would have a number of difficulties with alcohol and cocaine over the decades, which would put him in trouble with relationships and the law. Wilson Pickett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.
Wilson Pickett died of a heart attack in 2006, just weeks shy of his 65th birthday.
The Land of 1,000 Dances
This song was a minor hit in 1963 for Chris, Kenner, but became a top 10 hit for Pickett. While he doesn't name 1,000 dances (and the name of the song never appears in the lyrics), he does name 16 including the Pony, The Mashed Potato, and The Twist. You may remember this song from the movie "Forrest Gump."
Barefootin'
The second track featured in today's podcast is also a remake (originally recorded by Robert Parker), with a faster tempo than the original. Check out that horn section by The Swampers.
99-1/2 Won't Do
This is a slower track based off a gospel track transitioned to a love song. "I got to have all your love, night and day. Not just a little part, but all of your heart, sugar, Ninety-nine and a half just won't do."
In the Midnight Hour
This is a signature song he co-wrote, and also connects with gospel songs - I may meet Jesus soon in the morning, maybe in the midnight hour. This song was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or artistically significant."
ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:
Theme from the television series “Gilligan's Island”
This comedy was current in 1966, but we all remember this from reruns on afternoon TV after school.
STAFF PICKS:
“Over Under Sideways Down” by The Yardbirds
Bruce brings us a song inspired by Rock Around the Clock by Haley and the Comets. It came out as a single in May 1966, and was on the charts at the time. That's Jeff Beck on the lead guitar, and he also plays bass on this track as well.
“Sunny Afternoon” by The Kinks
Rob's staff pick made it to #14 on the Billboard charts. Brothers Ray and Dave Davies formed The Kinks in 1964, and Ray Davies wrote this song. It is about the massive taxes that the British Labour party was pushing out under Harold Wilson.
“You Don't Have to Say You Love Me” by Dusty Springfield
Brian's staff pick features his favorite female vocalist from the 1960's. Springfield heard this tune originally in Italian, and had new lyrics written for it. She cried when she first heard this song with the new lyrics. A number of artists covered this song, including Elvis Presley.
“Sweet Young Thing” by The Chocolate Watchband
Wayne features an American garage band from California, who sing about a Peeping Tom spotting his “sweet young thing” at a party. Wayne found this group off a compilation album called Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968.
INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:
“Jeff's Boogie” by The Yardbirds
This instrumental from the B-side of “Over Under Sideways Down” wraps us up this week's podcast.

The story of Billy-Rae, the preacher's son, and the singer of 'Son of a Preacher Man', stealing away from their parents to discover love in the back yard is contained in one of the most familiar and enduringly popular songs of the 1960s. The scene Dusty Springfield paints with such flair is one of the deep American South, so it might come as a surprise to learn that she was born Mary O'Brien in Enfield, north London, with Catholic parents originally from County Kerry. How - and why - did Springfield choose such a distant musical culture to inhabit in this celebrated song about sexual discovery? I look at the role the 'blues style' plays in the song, as well as the songwriters' brilliant use of song structure, in order to address questions of race and sexuality in blues-influenced pop music of the era.
You can listen to the original recording of 'Son of a Preacher Man' here. If you've enjoyed the episode please leave a review on Apple podcasts! Thank you :)

Jede Menge Ersatz-ESCs:
Die EBU veranstaltet am 16. Mai die offizielle Ersatz-Show "Europe Shine A Light". Stefan Raab wiederum plant einen "Free European Song Contest" auf ProSieben. ORF und SVT planen eigene virtuelle ESCs 2020. Der Sender RTV San Marino möchte wiederum mit RAI Italia angeblich eine eigene Show aufziehen, wie Fernsehdirektor Carlo Romeo in einem Interview sagt.
Neue Rubrik: "If I Were Sorry - Das Merci, Chérie Erratum: Alf Poier nahm natürlich 2003 beim ESC teil.
Brotherhood Of Man
Wir trafen in München Nicky Stevens, Martin Lee und Lee Sheridan von Brotherhood of Man, die immer noch in Originalbesetzung auftreten. Sandra Stevens war zwar auch in München, hatte aber einen Jetlag und war deshalb während der Interviewzeit bereits auf ihrem Zimmer.
1976 gewannen sie in Den Haag mit "Save Your Kisses For Me"
Weitere Hits:
Und was sind die Lieblingssongs vom Eurovision Song Contest?
Martin liebt "Fairytale" von Alexander Rybak aus dem Jahr 2009.
Nicky findet sowohl die Gewinnerin aus Wien, Sandy Shaw's "Puppet on a String" großartig, als auch jene Königin, die 2014 den Gewinn nach Wien holte: Conchita Wurst mit "Rise Like A Phoenix". Wer am Ende des Videos genau hinschaut, sieht Podcaster.
Lee ist noch immer ein großer Fan von Gali Atari & Milk & Honey, die mit "Hallelujah" 1979 den Eurovision Song Contest gewonnen haben.
Song Contest Geschichte am Schluss:
Sanremo 1965 gewann Bobby Solo mit "Se piangi, se ridi!" und wurde beim Heim-ESC 1965 in Neapel Fünfter.
Pino Donaggio gewann zwar nicht Sanremo 1965, sein Song "Io che non vivo (senza te)" sollte aber der größte kommerzielle Erfolg werden. Donaggio komponierte den Song,Vito Pallavicini schrieb den Text. Eine weitere Version wurde bei Sanremo 1965 von Jody Miller gesungen.
In der Version von Dusty Springfield und als "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" wurde der Song dann ein Welthit, und unzählige Male gecovert, unter anderem auch von Elvis Presley.
Hier eine Liste mit ganz vielen Coverversionen, unterem Dami Im, Corry Brokken und viele viele mehr.

When you're looking at revolution-focused rock of the late 60's, you have to put MC5 near the top of the pantheon. Their debut album, Kick Out the Jams, was also a live album, and captures the rage and the energy that would inspire the garage band and punk movement in the years to come. MC5 stands for "the Motor City Five," and was frontman Rob Tyner, lead guitarist Wayne Kramer, rhythm guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith, bassist Michael Davis, and Dennis Thompson on drums. This is a raw "punch in the gut" album, underground, very rebellious. MC5 was politically active, and was one of the bands playing for the protesters at the 1968 Democratic Convention.
The band would be broken up by 1972, but not before creating a legacy that would inspire bands for decades to come.
Get ready for some loud, angry rock and roll!
Rocket Reducer #62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)
The song is the last track on the first side of the album, and with lyrics like "you can lay it down on me, momma any old time. We can shimmy so good, We'll both be stoned o-mind," it is pretty easy to see the sex and drugs in this rock and roll.
Come Together
This track has a sound similar to The Who, and was a call to arms for the anti-capitalist left. Between the drug references and the explicit lyrics, MC5 would find their albums banned from many of the record stores at the time.
Ramblin Rose
This is a cover song originally recorded in 1962 by Jerry Lee Lewis, and by Ted Tyler in 1965. It was originally a country rock song, but Tyner puts a falsetto twist on it. This is the first track on the album.
Kick Out the Jams
The title track of the album would be the signature song of MC5, and would be covered by numerous people through the years. You're not going to find ballads from this group, and this song is a call to get rid of the easy listening stuff and get loud!
ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:
“Tra La La” by The Banana Splits
The Banana Splits was a Saturday morning TV show in the late 60's. It featured costumed characters and a variety of short kids shows in serialized format.
STAFF PICKS:
“If I Can Dream” by Elvis Presley
Bruce picks The King this week. This song was recorded in June 1968, two months after Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, and contains direct quotations from MLK. It was first released as the finale to Presley's 1968 comeback special, and was on the charts in February 1969.
“For Once In My Life” by Stevie Wonder
Brian's staff pick was originally written in 1966, and recorded by a number of people including Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. Earlier versions of this song were done as a ballad before Stevie Wonder picked up the tempo.
“Son of a Preacher Man” by Dusty Springfiled
Rob's features the Memphis sound of this British native. It was originally intended to be sung by Aretha Franklin but Dusty Springfield does it justice. This was her last top 10 hit, but Springfield was also on a hit from 1987 - “What Have I Done to Deserve This” by the Pet Shop Boys.
“Anything You Choose” by Spanky and Our Gang
Wayne's staff pick is a deeper cut from Elaine “Spanky” McFarlane and her band. McFarlane got her nickname from the similarity of her last name to George McFarland, who played Spanky in "The Little Rascals" serial in the 30's. This song has an Elvis feel and a great horn section.
INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:
"Hang 'Em High" by Booker T and The MG's
We finish up with this instrumental covering the theme from Clint Eastwood's western film of the same name. This keyboard-heavy rendition entered the charts this month.
