A Very Special Announcement!

>>>I can recall hearing the often-played song "Israelites" in 1969.  I remember it had a strange chorus to it. Guess that is why I remembered it ... anything unusual I sort of  remember. But funny thing is, I haven't heard it since.  I was just reminiscing for a moment ... pardon my digression.  (Sandy) 

>>>Hey, that’s what we’re here for … we’re ALL about the memories!!! 

LOL ... Thanks, Kent ...

"OOOOOOOOOOh OOOOOOOOOOh … The Israelites ... "

With 100% certainty, I can say that I remember 32 out of the 50 songs on the Summer of ‘69 song list.

I LOVE that "Pledge of Love" … great song ... it moves and grooves!  Fun song to sing and dance to.

This list is one of a lot of variety in the popular music genre ...

There are some great instrumentals, one hit wonders, the ever popular Elvis and Beatles, Creedence, etc. Great talent in singing and song writing back then.

"Love - can make you happy" by Mercy ... This is another song I used to hear all the time but never hear now.

Thanks again for reminding me about the creative and wonderful hits of the summer of ‘69.

I'm gonna go now and "Boogaloo Down Broadway."

P.S.  That's not on the list.

Nope … you’d have to go back to 1967 to catch The Fantastic Johnny C!  (And, unfortunately, his song didn’t hit the charts until summer was already over that year.)

But FH Readers can enjoy The Very Biggest Songs of the Summer of 1969 (including "Israelites," "Love Can Make You Happy," "My Pledge Of Love" and many, many more) on Me-TV-FM this year.

The whole thing kicks off on the First OFFICIAL Day Of Summer, Friday, June 21st, and they’ll be featuring tunes from our list of The Top 50 Summer Hits of 1969 all weekend long.
