There’s a feast of talent in this program as big stars join together to produce great songs. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder combine with their plea for racial equality with Ebony And Ivory. Fifties stars Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly combine with their million seller True Love and in the same era Jazz great Dinah Washington teams up with Brook Benton with the jaunty You’ve Got What It Takes. Legends Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer rev it up with (No More Tears) Enough Is Enough. And in a memorable performance another legend David Bowie joins Freddy Mercury and Queen with Under Pressure. The Aussie selection is our own rock star Johnny O’Keefe performing with Margaret McClaren for their version of Mockingbird.

During the 60’s and 70’s there was a strong migration of great musicians from our neighbour over the Tasman. Many of these New Zealanders made their mark on the Australian charts playing a focal part in the Australian Music Industry. This week under the theme of ANTIPODEANS we highlight some of that talent from “across the ditch”.

Over the years we have all been told by parents and/or friends to “do this” or “don’t do that”. With that in mind we decided to present a catalogue of songs featuring DOS and DON’TS. Manfred Mann’s 1964 version of Do Wah Diddy Diddy introduces the show followed by other Do songs including the Captain and Tennille’s timeless romantic ballad Do That To Me One More Time, Bobby Freeman’s self-penned Do You Wanna Dance and the Beatles Do You Want to Know a Secret. The LGBTQIA+ community is represented by Dusty Springfield and Lesley Gore with their Don’t songs. Don’t Change was INXS’s entry into the international charts and the legendary Buddy Holly ends the show with It Doesn’t Matter Any More.

The post Dos and Don’ts appeared first on Yesterday Once More.

For this program, Rob and Mossy have chosen two seminal years in their lives. They discuss what happened back then and some of the songs that were trending. 1964 was a huge year for The Beatles. They toured Australia and secured the top six spots in Australia’s yearly chart. I Feel Fine was one of those songs and they also featured in 1969 with Get Back. The opening song for 1964 was the unusual The Girl from Ipanema performed by renowned saxophonist Stan Getz and American-Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto. Other big hits in 1964 were Barbra Streisand with People from the film Funny Girl and Dionne Warwick’s version of Anyone Who Had A Heart. 1969 saw Spiral Starecase soaring with their one hit wonder More Today Than Yesterday and Mama Cass with her solo hit It’s Getting Better. Australia was represented in 1964 by Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs’ popular cover Poison Ivy and in 1969 Ronnie Burns with Age of Consent.
