A
big welcome to the latest radio
station to join the Treasure Island Oldies Broadcast
Partners Network, Team-FM in the
UK. After they aired the first Treasure
Island Oldies show, I received an email from one of their listeners. Cay asked about a song I played last
week on the Annual Made In Canada
Special. She did not know the name of it but gave a clue from the first
line of the lyrics. I immediately knew that the song was Lovin' You Ain't Easy by Pagliaro.
She replied that she was so pleased to learn the title and artist. Now that is
why I do the show every week for the past 15 plus years now. I love hearing
from listeners wherever they may live around the world. And I'd like to hear
from you. Send your email note to michael@treasureislandoldies.com. You can Listen to the Archive of our Made InCanada Special in the ArchiveSection of the Listen Page.
Mark
your calendar for our next special the week of July 22nd for our Technicolour
Special. Every song will have a colour in the song title. Here's a few
examples of songs you may hear on the special: Little Green Bag, Green
Onions, Brown Eyed Girl, Nights In White Satin, etc. You get the
idea. If there's a song you'd like to hear as part of the Technicolor Special, Click Requests on any page of the
website or Call the Treasure Island Oldies Listener Line at
206-339-0709.
Happy Birthday wishes go out this week
to my son, David, who is celebrating
his 30th birthday. I'd also like to send my best wishes to my good friend Bobbi Gutman, in Richmond, British Columbia,
Jim Amidei in Wheaton, Illinois
and Wayne Harrett at 105.9 Seaside-FM in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. If you
have a birthday coming up, be sure to let me know. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com
and I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the show and play Birthday,
our official birthday song by The Beatles, for you.
When
I played Tell Me (You're Coming Back)
by The Rolling Stones on the show
this week, it brought back memories of buying that 45 on the Decca Records label. I even remembered the
B side of the 45, I Just Wanna Make Love To You. Played
the heck out of that record. Wow! So I thought I'd give you a treat this week
at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog. The Rolling Stones lip synch Tell Me (You're Coming Back) in a clip
from the Red Skelton TV Show. What a
classic! It's our Song of the Week.
Enjoy!
Voice Your Choice presents the smooth
soulful voice of Ben E. King with
two of his solo hits for your votes. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Amor or Don't Play That Song
(You Lied). Both songs were Top Twenty hits and not heard all that often
