Hello folks and welcome to Part 2 of
Higher Ground - RockRoll360 where AAA Radio should be.

Great songs lined up on this one includes EWF.

you should always hear “That’s The Way Of The World”
immediately after. If you ever had the original Album

these two tracks follow each other very closely
with each other sounding like it was combined as
only one track.

and The Bloodhound Gang with a song is composed
entirely of sexual innuendos.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: TRIBUTE/MEMORIAL 2007 PT.5

Well after some vacationing, I am back from the dead with some more dead, lol!
Oh, I need a rest from my rest.
Picking up from where we left off, Liz Claiborne passed away last year, the famous clothing designer.
I’ve got something from the Kinks for her.
The guy who wrote Unchained Melody died, Hy Zaret. Interesting story in that he was supposed to write it for a 1955 movie called Unchained, but he refused to include the word “unchained” anywhere in the song.
Give a listen, he didn’t!
Also, we lost Boots Randolph, whose instrumental hit was equally famous for being the theme song for a very funny British comedian. You should recognize it immediately.
Bill Pinkney the last remaining original Drifter died in 2007. He was the distinctive bass singer who left the group just before their major successes.
As this was broadcast just one day after St. Pat’s, I thought I would do my Mom proud by going back to Tommy Makem and the Clancys for one more. This one a folk song you should know.
Hilly Crystal, founder and owner of the legendary CBGB’s died last year. So one from the early punk band Television for him.
Speaking of television, Alice Ghostley of the show Bewitched died- she will never be MORE Ghostley!
I will leave you with a couple of questions.
What would you play for some upcoming late folks such as Tom Snyder and famous mime Marcel Marceau?
Come back and hear what I chose.
