Wow ... we've made it to FIFTY Bonus Posts regarding our 1967 Series ...
And with only three weeks to go before the whole thing wraps up, who knows ... we may even be able to post a couple more!
Thanks again to everybody who stuck with us this past year ... I can't believe how fast it went. (A full year to prep and then it was over in a heartbeat!)
Here are some of your most recent comments and memories ...
Don't know how you keep up with all the info, but I sure enjoy the read, Kent.
'67 was a crazy year for everybody in the biz.
Thanks for all the work, my friend.
Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas.

Here's a GREAT piece on the Smothers Brother Comedy Hour posted this past weekend. Just as Janis Ian is mentioned on FH as playing on the show this past weekend 50 years ago, here in this article are MANY of the great clips from the show. It was lucky that E! played many of these shows about 30 years ago and I was able to tape them. Great stuff.

This IS really good stuff. I've always loved The Smothers Brothers ... tried to get them to comment for our 1967 Series but it seems they are sticking to their "retirement" announcement. Too bad ... can you imagine some of the stories they could have shared?!?!?
Those shows have never come out on DVD ... instead they started to release their choices for best episodes of each season IN REVERSE ORDER (who does THAT?!?!?) many years ago and they never got to Season One ... the collection ended after just Seasons Three and Two. (Would LOVE to see the whole thing, intact, exactly as it aired ... plus some of the scenes that were cut by the censors, which I'm sure seem INCREDIBLY tame by today's standards.) Thanks for sharing this, Clark. (kk)
Rewound Radio ran an incredible year end Top 30 Countdown this past weekend hosted by multi-award winning announcer (WAY too many to mention here!), Johnny Holliday.
It was a very interesting countdown because it presented The Top 30 Biggest Hits of the Year from a San Francisco perspective ... quite a bit different than what we experienced on a national level (and here in Chicago). Holliday worked for KYA at the time, a big Top 40 outlet. Interestingly enough, several times during the broadcast he mentioned the game he was going to be doing the play-by-play for later that week. Of course, this is how we all best know him ... so it was kinda cool to hear those seeds being planted way back in '67.
I talked with Allan Sniffen to see if perhaps this program would be archived somewhere on their website ... and even offered to post it on our brand new 1967 Listening Station site ... but unfortunately this was a one-time airing. (I'm hoping some of you got to hear it. And whether you did or didn't, I WAS able to find a copy of the actual countdown broadcast that day!)

It was especially fun to hear some of the vintage commercials that ran during this original broadcast (including what seems to be the Forgotten Hits Fan Favorite, Heaven Scent!) And the one where you can "put yourself in a brand new 1967 Jaguar for only $4478!!! (Can you even imagine?!?!?)
Rewound Radio continues to play a WIDE variety of music from the '50's, '60's, '70's and beyond ... and seem to have an endless library of music to choose from. (Hey, after a MAJOR plug for Forgotten Hits on the air, they even played MY request for The New Colony Six's "I'm Just Waitin', nticipatin'" after the show on Saturday ... and let me tell you, it sounded GREAT!)
These DeeJay Hall Of Fame shows run every weekend ... and they're a lot of fun, as are the special salutes to some of the AM Radio Giants of our past, featuring lengthy airchecks from a variety of jocks from a particular radio station ... you really should give them a listen on a regular basis ... it's radio like it used to be ... and I think you'll be VERY impressed by the music you hear. (They also run our FH Buddy Gary Theroux's History Of Rock And Roll feature three times a day, Monday thru Friday)
Be sure to check 'em out here ... they continue to prove their credo on a daily basis ... "It's not how OLD it is ... it's how GOOD it is!"
http://rewoundradio.com/ ... GREAT stuff! (kk)
A big anniversary was celebrated this past week for brand new Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees (it's about frickin' time!!!) The Moody Blues. In fact, it looks like they'll be celebrating for quite awhile with their upcoming "Days Of Future Passed" Tour (we just told you about The Moodies Cruise, too, which will feature Chicago's very own Ides Of March this year!), the release of a brand new deluxe edition of their classic album reissue, some RRHF acceptance speeches and live jammin' ... and even a short stint in Vegas!
(See our FH Buddy Harvey Kubernik's tribute below):

The Doors' "Strange Days" album is also getting the 50th Anniversary treatment ... read more about it here ...

Speaking of The Doors, they'll be the subject of a brand new book by Harvey Kubernik, coming out in February ... more details via the press release below ...
Otherworld Cottage Industries Announces Harvey Kubernik's new book,
"The Doors: Summer's Gone," scheduled for publication in February, 2018
The Doors: Summer's Gone, Coming in February, 2018 (PRLEAP.COM)
On December 8th, in honor of Jim Morrison's birthday, Otherworld
Cottage Industries announced their upcoming book titled, "The
Doors: Summer's Gone" by 45-year veteran music journalist and author
Harvey Kubernik. This multi-voice history is the product of five decades,
during which Kubernik interviewed the surviving members of the band as well as
the dozens of insiders and witnesses whose experiences and insights inform his
narrative expedition.
Publication of this second of Otherworld's three-part series of Kubernik's pop-culture explorations (the first was "It was Fifty Years Ago THE BEATLES Invade America and Hollywood"), is scheduled for February 12, 2018, honoring the birthday of Doors co-founder, Ray Manzarek.
Publication of this second of Otherworld's three-part series of Kubernik's pop-culture explorations (the first was "It was Fifty Years Ago THE BEATLES Invade America and Hollywood"), is scheduled for February 12, 2018, honoring the birthday of Doors co-founder, Ray Manzarek.
Otherworld Cottage also had a hand in Kubernik's new
literary music anthology "Inside Cave Hollywood: The Harvey Kubernik Music
InnerViews and InterViews Collection, Vol. 1," being published the last
week of December 2017 by Cave Hollywood. Harvey's works, displayed weekly on cavehollywood.com, have
already included two articles on Otherworld Cottage Industries founder Travis
Edward Pike. Linda Snyder, our extremely talented graphics designer, created
its intriguing cover, and our Otherworld Cottage staff is largely responsible
for the book's interior layout. It’s a compilation of 2006 - 2016
articles, essays, interviews and encounters Harvey has documented. These
selections also contain the unedited and expanded versions of text Harvey has
exhibited on the portal over the last decade.
If you love the history and sound of Chess, Motown and Brunswick
Records and the recorded catalogs of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen,
Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley & the Wailers, the Rolling Stones in mono, Lenny
Bruce, the Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim LP, Leon Russell, Paul
Kantner, Otis Redding at the Whisky a Go Go in 1966, the filmusic career of
Bill Mumy, Elton John’s two U.S. albums in 1970, observations from Andrew Loog
Oldham, the musical heritage of East Los Angeles, the landmark 1964-1969 rock
and pop music photography of Guy Webster, may we suggest investigating this
title. (The book also houses many black and white and color photos
by additional noted photographers.)
"The Doors: Summer's End" will bring to 14, the number
of Kubernik's published music-related pop-culture books.
Incidentally, the December issue of "Ugly Things" magazine, #46, spotlighting Kubernik's 4,500 word feature article, "A Stand Against the Electric Swarm, Dylan's 'John Wesley Harding' 50 Years On," also displays a Kubernik-penned article in its DVD Reviews section about the Otherworld Cottage release of "Grumpuss 20th Anniversary Platinum Edition," starring our prolific enchanter, sixties' rocker, Travis Pike.
Kubernik has the cover story in the December, 2017 issue of "Record Collector News" magazine, exploring Bob Dylan and his "gospel years" multi-disc box set, "Trouble No More - The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 / 1979-1981."

Much as I'd love to add
this one to my Beach Boys collection I've really gotta stop and consider ... Do
I REALLY need NINE more live versions of "Good Vibrations,"
"Surfer Girl" or "Help Me Rhonda" in my collection???
I'm not really sure I see the attraction here, even for the most die-hard Beach
Boys fans (but knowing me, I'll probably still buy it anyway!!!) Hey,
it's 1967 after all! (Then again, it looks like this is a digital
download release only ... so probably not! I'm never gonna have the time
... or the inclination ... to sit at my computer and listen to 150 tracks of
the same songs playing over and over again!!!) kk

Robert Campbell
One of the sadder anniversaries of 1967 ... but yes, a very well done piece. (kk)
How'd we miss this one?!?!?
With all the research I did on 1967, I don't know HOW this event never came up ... but there it is in Harvey Kubernik's outstanding book "1967: A Complete Music History Of The Summer Of Love"!
One June 10th and 11th (a week before The Monterey International Pop Festival, an event billed as The Magic Mountain Music Festival, put together by KFRC, a San Francisco-based AM Radio Station, spear-headed by Program Director Tom Rounds..
Posters for this event (designed by Stanley Mouse) announced a two-dollar ticket price treating buyers to performances by Canned Heat, The Doors, The Seeds, The Byrds, Hugh Masekela, Kaleidoscope, Jefferson Airplane, The Grass Roots, The Fifth Dimension, The Chocolate Watchband, Country Joe and the Fish, The Merry-Go-Round, Blues Magoos, The Mojo Men, The 13th Floor Elevators, Dionne Warwick, P.F. Sloan, Wilson Pickett, The Steve Miller Blues Band, Captain Beefheart, Spanky and Our Gang, Every Mothers Son, The Miracles, Tim Buckley and many more.
That would make THIS the first-ever pop music festival ... so how is it that nobody's ever heard of it?!?! (For 50 years that honor has always gone to Monterey Pop ... AMAZING!!!)
(It all took place at the 4000 seat Sidney B. Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre, high atop the mountain in Mount Tamalpais State Park in Marin County. Reports say that over 36,000 people attended the two-day event. (Where'd they sit?!?!) Because the event took place one week later than originally advertised (due to inclement weather), several of the acts originally scheduled to perform were unable to reschedule ... which is probably why the list looks as long as it does.
However, I did find one website that lists all of the performers spread over the two-day event (including Captain Beefheart's 10:30 am show on the 11th!) I'm just amazed that we missed this!!! So thank you, Harvey, for letting us know!!! (kk)

I had to cross the pond in 1968 to first hear what has become my all time favorite Gene Pitney song.
"Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart" was written by the highly successful UK songwriting team of Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway (who also performed as David and Jonathan).
Starting in 1964, Pitney frequently toured the UK and had become more popular there than in America. He had ten Top Ten Hits in the British charts in the Sixties compared to only four in Billboard in the US. He took Randy Newman's "Nobody Needs Your Love" to #2 in the UK in 1966 (It didn't chart in the US).
Pitney's dramatic vocal rendering of "Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart" peaked at #5 on December 9, 1967, and stayed in the UK charts for three months. It inexplicably went unnoticed by American radio and only bubbled under here. That's perceived as the reason why EMI decided against a US release of Pitney's duet remake of the song with Marc Almond that became #1 for four weeks in the UK in 1989. It sold more than one million records just in Europe. In 1981 Almond (as one half of the duo Soft Cell) had his first UK#1 and that year's top UK single with a cover of Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love". David and Jonathan's 1967 recording of "Softly Whispering I Love You" would be remade into a worldwide smash hit by The English Congregation in 1971.
Mike G
Nope, I've never heard it before ... and it's a very nice track. As always, thanks for sharing, Mike! (Gee, what are YOU going to do when the 1967 Series is over?!?! lol I'm going thru '67 Withdrawal myself right now!) kk
Hi Kent:
How about a Montana chart from 50 years ago!!!
Ken
Wow, there are some pretty unusual titles on this one ... competing head to head with some of the biggest hits of the day. Seriously? Robert Goulet? Steve Lawrence? And little known tracks by The Arbors and even Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Definitely some odd ones on this list! (kk)
Speaking of which ...
Kent,
I am sending you the top 50 hits for OKC, 1967, according to WKY if you would like to use them at the end of this year.
Larry Neal
Thanks, Larry ... a few surprises on this list, to be sure! (We'll be running our Top 67 of '67 on January 2nd ... that's just three weeks away as our special 1967 Series draws to a close ... but this seemed like a good spot to run your list. We also have the Year-End Charts coming up for both WLS and WCFL, whose weekly charts we have featured throughout this year-long series.) kk
Kent,
As you've remarked yourself, this year has really flown by and your great series reliving the glory days of 1967 is nearly at an end.
And, this Wednesday, 8 p.m. ET on Top Shelf Oldies (www.topshelfoldies.org), will be my last Randy on the Radio show on which I feature a pair of debuts from the SuperCharts Top 100 of 50 years ago.
This week's debuts include songs by a one-(minor)hit wonder from Long Island, and one of the biggest British Invasion hitmakers, from Tottenham, England. As usual, my show will also feature a Mystery Oldie, a '70s Double Play and several rare stereo mixes among the playlist of great uncommon oldies.
All my shows are archived at http://www.ramtownlive.com/randyontheradio.html.

You keep bringing up "The Jungle Book" and it would seem that that movie was as popular in late 67 / early 68 as "Star Wars" would have been in 1977.
In March of 1968, the movie was still so popular that it re-opened at the State - Lake theater. Attached is a clip from our radio tapes of WCFL with an ad for the movie "opening Friday at the State - Lake." Interestingly, the theater would close in 1985 and become the studios for WLS-TV! The ad runs at the end of 4 minute condensed piece of history.
The audio on this is as we heard WCFL in Dodge City, Kansas, long distance on a good day! We could get WLS MUCH better, but both stations were just great to tune in to. Here, Ron "King B" Britain is in fine form one evening in March, 1968. We'd just heard a cool H.I.S. commercial and on comes the Cyrkle doing their amazingly great 7-Up commercial. When Sundazed Music was doing their Cyrkle CD reissues, I sent this to Bob Irwin and he tracked down the original tape and released it on a 45! Then we go into a WCFL Mini-Spin (condensed for space here) in which CFL played about a minute of a top hit in a 3-song medley to appear to play MORE music than WLS did. Our faves, the NC6 get featured. Then, a funny Allen Chevy ad that might not run today. Then, the Jungle Book ad followed by the newest Human Beinz song, a followup to the current Super Charts #83 song that is about to break out. Ron quips that he is NOT broadcasting in stereo, which was just becoming an issue for AM/FM battles soon thereafter. A slice of Chicago radio that makes me shiver to wish I was still back there in Dodge at out Bell reel to reel and 1940 Hallicrafter receiver fine tuning to record the latest releases from all over the country.
Clark Besch
A
big point of our 1967 series has been how, in 1967, ANYTHING goes ... the fact
that The Summer of Love and Sgt. Pepper, the pure fun of the Monkees and the
heaviness of Jimi Hendrix and The Doors, The War in Viet Nam, and movies like
"Jungle Book" and "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" could
co-exist, side by side, just drives this point home even further. The WLS
/ WCFL "radio wars" was at an all-time high that year ... and we went
back and forth between them all day long in an effort not to miss a
thing. A VERY exciting time indeed ... on ALL levels. (kk)
Hi
Kent –
I
am very much enjoying your 1967 reprise from up here in Toronto. I will
be sad to see it end. Every Monday is a joy as I compare your chart with
the ones I did myself every week in 1967, like the chart geek I am.
And your commentary is always fascinating.
One
thing I’ve noticed over the almost year of Super Charts is the amazing number
of classics that stall outside the Top 10. This week it’s Everlasting
Love by Robert Knight. Maybe after year-end, you could compile your own
list of faves from the year that didn’t make the grade.
Thanks
again for a memorable year.
Ron
I've
actually done a couple of countdown shows of personal favorites now, many of
which are not the mainstream, overplayed Top 40 Hits of this incredible
year. (In fact you can find some of these posted here for your listening
enjoyment ... http://fh1967listeningstation.blogspot.com/
But if I
WERE going to pick a Top Ten List of SHOULDA BEEN A HIT's from '67, I'd
venture outside The Top 40 and still come up with some incredible gems. Using
Joel Whitburn's Pop Annual as a point of reference (it lists the peak position
of EVERY single to make Billboard's Hot 100 Chart between 1955 and 2016), these
ten would DEFINITELY make my list ... (I've listed Billboard's peak position to
show you just how shy it fell of Top 40 hit status) ...

Got this
from Designer Jeff Carlson, who saw it on a website he frequents and wanted to
share it with our readers. (Jeff is my expectant father son-in-law, who
wasn't even born yet when The Monkees burst on the scene ... but it's fun to
view this particular type of design tactic, aimed at pre and young teens back
in 1967, trying to get them to shell out every available dollar they could get
their hands on, putting it toward virtually ANYTHING that became available
involving their music idols.) Hey, it worked!!! These Tiger Beat
Spectaculars ran for nearly two years ... and disappeared off the magazine
racks just as fast as the next one appeared!
Very cool
... very vintage ... very effective! (kk)
Got
this from a design publication I subscribe to. Thought it would bring you down
memory lane.

12.8.17 / Hey, Hey, We Were The Monkees |
||||
During the 1960s, before the
advent of Crawdaddy and
Rolling Stone as “underground”
rock n’ roll magazines, Tiger Beat and 16 Magazine ruled the fanboy and fangirl
roost. They publicized the prince and princesses of pop and garnered many tween
and teen fans in the process. Tiger
Beat‘s Monkee Spectacular made an impression on me as a
wannabe publication designer. It was no Herb Lubalin or Alexey Brodovitch
design, but it was the model I used for making layouts in underground music
mags.
            
I have to admit, it WOULD be pretty cool to
have a complete collection of these!!! (kk)
