Sammy gave us a double-dose of his Forgotten Hits / Super Charts show this week ...
Part One featured many of the easy listening tunes that were crossing over to the national pop charts ...
And Part Two featured more of the "traditional" fare, including a bunch of songs you likely haven't heard since forever ... and some, maybe never before at all!

And his LAFOS show is always a fun listen, too. (You'll find them all at the link above.)
This past week he featured an hour of uncharted hits, including THIS one by Nancy Ames, which I never would have even KNOWN about were it not for Sammy's eclectic tastes! (Nancy Ames?!?! She was the "That Was The Week That Was" girl who showed up on any number of variety shows back in the day, never really carving out her own niche as a recording artist. The closest she ever came to an actual hit happened in 1966 with a record called "He Wore a Green Beret," which peaked at #89 (in Billboard only.)
But I have to admit that I kinda like her English "Pow! Pow! Pow!" version of the Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 classic "Mas Que Nada." (This song was perhaps a little too unique for its time, peaking at only #47 for its originator. Today, EVERYBODY knows this tune!!!) kk
I had hoped to be the first to share with you some brand new music from Burton Cummings’ upcoming new album, his first of new material in over twelve years …
But we were beaten to the punch on this one.
No biggie … I’m a good sport … and for me, it’s the music that ALWAYS comes first …
So take a few minutes to sample some of Burton’s latest and greatest, here:
And go out and see him during his “60th Anniversary Hits” Tour if you get the chance!
From Burton himself:
“Get ready, America! This fall, my band and I are hitting the road for the first leg of our U.S. tour! It’s been far too long, but we’re finally bringing the music straight to your doorstep. Join us at a venue near you, where we’ll be performing my hits from the original The Guess Who and my solo career from over the past 60 years!”

Here’s a great tribute to Kris Kristofferson by the always enjoyable Joe Marchese …

THIS JUST IN ...

Hi, Kent -
Have you seen this? It is beyond
description …
Dire Straits' live performance of "Sultans of Swing" recorded at The Hammersmith Odeon in London, recorded in 1983.
I just discovered it, by accident.
I have NEVER witnessed a performance like this one. I could watch it ten times
a day and never tire of it.
It's racked up a quarter of a billion views, which does not surprise me in the least.
Rock perfection.
The drummer is in a class by himself.
Enjoy!
