Suddenly It's ... 1970!
Written Aug. 12, 2008 by Sean Ross in Content + Terrestrial Radio with 1 Comment
Some interesting programming for the next few weeks at gold-based AC WVBW (the Wave) Norfolk, Va., which is saluting a different year between 1970 and 1989 in "20/20: 20 Years In 20 Days" starting with 1970 today. The Wave's version is (and should be) more compact than "It," XM Satellite Radio's year-by-year tracking of the entire history of pop music, but if you've ever wanted to hear "Mississippi Queen" on an AC station, here's your chance.
Here's The Wave's salute to 1970 in the 3 p.m. hour today:
Brian Hyland, "Gypsy Woman"
Carpenters, "We've Only Just Begun"
Rascal Flatts, "Bless The Broken Road" (set up with a stager about not forgetting the best of today as well)
Supremes, "Stoned Love"
Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, "Teach Your Children"
Originals, "The Bells"
Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Who'll Stop The Rain"
Tom Jones, "Without Love (There Is Nothing)"
Neil Diamond, "Solitary Man"
Taylor Swift, "Teardrops On My Guitar"
Sly & the Family Stone, "Stand"
Mountain, "Mississippi Queen"
Stevie Wonder, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)"
Sugarloaf, "Green-Eyed Lady"
Edison Lighthouse, "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)"

Current songs? Why half-ass it? Either focus entirely on 1970, or don't do the feature.
