RockRoll360 #089 - Golden Age of Underground Radio (Part 1)

 

Various Artists - Golden Age of Underground Radio (1989 Dcc Compact Classics ) (CD)   (Part 1 )

“This is Tom Donahue and I’m here to play phonograph records.”
With that sign-on, Tom Donahue defined “underground” FM radio in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This disc takes the listener back to that time period, with samples of Donahue’s news spots, commercials, and between-song chat taken from airchecks while he worked as the “Big Daddy” of Bay Area broadcasting at KSAN-FM in San Francisco. The music here is a compendium of popular album cuts from that 1968-1972 era. Listening to this album is like spending 70 minutes in a time warp, when flowers, beads and long hair were de rigueur, head shops and independent record shops flourished, musicians were free to take risks with their recordings, and FM radio still allowed its announcers to choose their own music. Peace, love and hope are once again in the air and on the airwaves. It’s a trip worth taking.

Close your eyes and picture yourself with your Grateful Dead tee shirt on along
with your sandals. Your long hair brushes against your shoulders and your
driving down Ashbury in “The Haight” in San Francisco in your VW bus with your friends. The sweet aroma of God’s gift to you fills the bus.  Then you turn on your FM / 8-Track car stereo and tune into 94.9.  You see that bright red stereo light letting you know you are receiving the signal loud and clear. Now you are there, in the years of 1968 through 1972 - Have a nice trip won’t you with the Legendary Tom Donohue KSAN Radio Stereo 94.9 in San Fran.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BILLY PRESTON, UNOFFICIAL 5TH BEATLE PT.2 END

Did you know Billy Preston did a duet with Isaac Hayes?
I’ll play it. Nice and bluesy- to get you In The Mood.
Then back to the Concert For George and another of those magnificent performances.
I like the way Eric Clapton starts the song, then hands off to Billy.
Gotta thank my good old friend, Mike Hennessy, for those concert CD’s.
After that it’s another duet, this one a big hit that reached # 4 I had forgotten about- yes, it happens to me too. One beautiful song!
I’ll have some interesting Preston trivia- like he was, with Janis Ian, the first musical guest on Saturday Night Live back on its debut.
Next, Billy doing a Beatle song from the horrid Sgt. Pepper movie- in which he played Sgt. Pepper (hate to bring back the memory of that flick, lol!).
Followed by a # 1 song everyone should recall and sing along with- it’s all mathematics.
After receiving a kidney transplant, Billy’s health continued to deteriorate, and I was shocked to discover he was in a coma from November 2005 until his death in June 2006!
Finally, we will end with yet another thing you may not have known.
Billy Preston co-wrote a song that was a huge hit for Joe Cocker.
Maybe for the first time, you’ll hear his own version.
And I hope you enjoy it, as well as this entire episode.

Mike
