Being an ex-Radio dude from the 1970's, I send out music vibes from the past.

Here is a recent one for your listening pleasure:

Copy:



Listening to Tony Blackburn on BBC2 - ex 1960's Radio Caroline DJ - spinning the hits. Seen the movie, 'The Boat that Rocks'?

Radio 6PM hired an ex Caroline DJ, Mike Ahern. Nice guy, went to Brisbane Radio early 70's. Now deceased,

Tony spun this one out just then:

Susan Cowsill, the only girl and the youngest, was ten years old when this song entered the American Billboard 100 in 1969. Which makes her the youngest person to ever enter the Billboard 100.

The crystalline five and six-part harmonies are top-shelf.

Addendum:

I'm doing a Cowsill thing at the moment.

Susan Cowsill, the youngest and only girl of the five Cowsill children, plus at one stage their Mum, that made up 'The Cowsills'. They were the inspiration for 'The Partridge Family' TV series.

Cute at ten, not that bad in 2004 either.
