I loved 1967! I graduated from High School, I started my four year residence at Marquette University, and the music was especially wonderful that year!
AM Gold: 1967 offers a cross-section of the music from that year. I still hear local Oldies radio stations and Sirius/XM Radio’s “Soul Town” playing “I Second That Emotion” by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. Still sounds great! 1967 was a big year for The Bee Gees, too. “To Love Somebody” and “Massachusetts” established them as a group on the rise.
There are a few One-Hit Wonders here: Keith’s” 98.6″ and Harpers Bizarre’s “The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy)”.
One of the biggest hits of 1967 was Bobbie Gentry’s “Old to Billie Joe.” Do you remember these songs? Any favorites here? GRADE: B+
