In this program our podcaster, Penn, takes centre stage and chooses songs they have some connection with. Many songs are associated with Penn growing up and family such as Father And Son, Cats In The Cradle and from his infancy Cradle Of Love. Penn tells stories of sadness and joy and yearning for a simpler time like Mary Hopkin in Those Were The Days.

Double Sided Hits

Back in the days of vinyl singles songs were released with a designated A side and a B side. Often the B side became just as popular as the A side. Thus a double sided hit was created. Elvis Presley had 39 double sided hits while The Beatles had 24. In this program we feature six performers who had double sided hits: Roy Orbison (Candy Man/Crying), The Beatles (She’s A Woman/I feel Fine), Brenda Lee (I’m Sorry/That’s All You Gotta Do), Dionne Warwick (I Say A Little prayer/ Valley Of The Dolls), Billy Thorpe (Love Letters/Dancing In The Streets) and Ricky Nelson (Hello Mary Lou/Travellin’ Man).

Today’s songs revolve around automobiles: cars. Starting with Aussie singer Ted Mulry and his popular seventies hit Jump In My Car and followed by soul singer Wilson Pickett and Mustang Sally. Two teen tragic songs about car crashes are Tell Laura I Love Her by Ray Peterson and the number I hit for Mark Dinning Teen Angel. The Beatles chime in with Drive My Car while the aptly named group The Cars perform their big eighties hit Drive. An unusual take on the theme is our own Bobby And Laurie’s excellent cover of Hitch Hiker. The program concludes with icon Janis Joplin and her Mercedes Benz.

 Enjoy today’s fabulous show, Automobiles.

Fool

There are a surprising number of songs with ‘Fool’ in the title. Cultural icon Elvis starts the program with A Fool Such As I. Popular band the Doobie bros follow with their big hit What A Fool Believes and later the Beatles chip in with the Paul McCartney classic The Fool On The Hill. Two prodigious female singers who burst onto the music scene at an early age are Lulu with the ballad Oh Me Oh MY (I’m A Fool For You) and Brenda Lee with one of her many hits Fool No 1. Aussie band Ray Brown And The Whispers present their version of the old song Fool Fool Fool.
