‘The Music of 1969: Fifty Years On’
The popular music charts of 1969 reflected the diversity of the times. Rock, Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Pop, Vocal Music, Motown, Gospel, Easy Listening, a new sound called ‘Bubble Gum’ and … of course ... The Beatles all shared equal time on the radio, becoming an important part of our (ever expanding!) musical and social consciousness. Bob Dylan had a 'new' voice, Elvis was back, 'Hair' was a smash hit musical, and TV variety shows were scrambling to book the latest musical sensations. Fortunately, Tony Traguardo has collected performances from the era of some of the year’s top songs for a fun and insightful presentation of ‘The Music of 1969: Fifty Years On’.
