We tend to relate certain songs with certain times of the year and I thought it would be interesting to look back at the number one hits from this week in June from 1966 through 1972. Any of these hits take you back to then? 1966 PAINT IT BLACK - The Rolling Stones (featuring Brian Jones on the sitar opening) 1967 RESPECT - Aretha Franklin (written and originally recorded by Otis Redding) 1968 MRS. ROBINSON - Simon & Garfunkel (from the movie The Graduate starring Dustin Hoffman) 1969 GET BACK - The Beatles (with Billy Preston & recorded on the rooftop of Apple Records) 1970 THE LONG & WINDING ROAD - The Beatles (only 2 Beatles were on their swan song produced by Phil Spector) 1971 IT'S TOO LATE - Carole King (from this legendary singer's monumental 'Tapestry' album 1972 ...http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10558409tyates@astral.com (Ted Yates)http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10558409Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:16:21 GMTHappy Father's Day to all the dads! Do you have a favourite 'dad' of 'father' song? Here's a classic from the Donna Reed Show by one of my Facebook friends, Paul Petersen from 1963..."My Dad". Enjoy and have a great day!   http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10557906tyates@astral.com (Ted Yates)http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10557906Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:09:31 GMTI used to buy the Archie comic books. Remember them?  Comic book teenagers Archie, Veronica, Betty and Jughead are coming to the big screen for the first time in a new live-action feature film based on the long-running “Archie” comic series, its publisher said on Thursday. The comedy will be produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and will feature the lead “Archie” characters in a high school in present-day Riverdale, the fictional backdrop of the series, Archie Comics said in a statement on its website. “Archie” began in 1941 and became a comic book empire for Archie Comics, which has produced numerous series featuring the main characters. The comics have been adapted for television in animated and live-action series in the past, as well as a television movie featuring an adult Archie, but this is the first time in the comic book’s 72-year history that a feature film will be made.

Listen Thursday to find out. Meanwhile, Monday night's special guest in Chicago joining Mick Jagger was Taylor Swift performing the Stones classic 'As Tears Go By' from 1965. It was not only a hit single for the Stones, but also for Mick's former girlfriend Marianne Faithful back then. Here's the song's performance from earlier this week:   http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10553785tyates@astral.com (Ted Yates)http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10553785Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:42:02 GMTYes, it's the hottest day of the year so far with the temp sitting at 29 c right now and the humidex at 36 c. Are you complaining about the heat yet on this 2nd last day of May? What song reminds you of a hot day? Here's a very hot looking Linda Ronstadtin concert  performing her 1975 remake of the Martha & The Vandellas classic. Speaking of remakes, Linda Ronstadt has the distinction of having more hits of remakes in the 70's than any other music artist. They include When Will I Be Loved, Blue Bayou, That'll Be The Day, You're No Good, Ooh Baby Baby, It's So Easy, Tracks Of My Tears, and others.     http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10551373tyates@astral.com (Ted Yates)http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10551373Tue, 04 Jun 2013 21:38:34 GMTPlease drop by Tim Horton's for Camp Day Wednesday when every cent from coffee sales is donated to the Tim Horton's Children's Foundation.

Well it happened in 1967 with Bobbie Gentry's multi-week number one hit 'Ode To Billie Joe, and again in the late 70's with Neil Diamond's "Desiree". I'll play one of them on my Morning Show monday as we kick off the first full week of June:   http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10552173tyates@astral.com (Ted Yates)http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10552173Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:45:08 GMT...And now the top 5 from this week in 1971...any special memories here for you? Watch the Rolling Stones perform their new hit 'Brown Sugar' on Top Of The Pops at the end of this countdown: 5. It Don't Come Easy - Ringo Starr 4. Want Ads - Honey Cone 3. Never Can Say Goodbye - Jackson 5 2. Joy To The World - 3 Dog Night 1. Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones - this hit was from the album 'Sticky Fingers', which featured an eye-catching cover designed by artist Andy Warhol. It featured a real working zipper on a pair of pants many believed belonged to Mick Jagger. '71 was also the debut member Mick Taylor,their own 'tongue' record label and Mick's new wife Bianca. An eventful year for the Stones!   http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10550310tyates@astral.com (Ted Yates)http://www.oldies1150.com/Blog/TedYates/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10550310Tue, 28 May 2013 21:42:00 GMTActor Gary Sandy, known for his role as WKRP In Cincinnati Program Director Andy Travis joined me 'live' in studio on the CKOC Morning Show today for about an hour with bits about then and now.I also played some of his favourite Oldies including Rescue Me by Fontella Bass, December 1963 -O What A Night by the Four Seasons and The 'In' Crowd by Dobie Gray. He's currently starring in the live production drama' Time Stands Stil'l at Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton until June 8. He's a very personable and talented guy who also loves his oldies music. Today Gary Sandy picks the 'lost 45' of the week. It's a great song called 'Hey Girl' by Freddie Scott from 1963 written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin.
