Please provide any suggestions as to specials (Disney music, wacky songs, etc…) or music you’re not hearing that you would like to hear from the 20th Century Soundtrack in the comment section below this post. Remember, it must have charted in the Top 40 to make the 20th Century Soundtrack but all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve!
Remember the C&W oldies radio show that Morriss Taylor used to do? What about some more of that stuff? Anything from Jimmie Rodgers to Tammy Wynette would be cool!
BTW, FANTASTIC thing you’ve created here–can’t get enough of it!
Best, Dan (the record guy @ 8th & Main Antiques)

Dan,
As I continue to develop more stations for Steve Michaels VaultOVinyl, there will be a Country format and an R&B format as well. Standby….

My Office Manager, Nicole, LOVES Rick Springfield. She is pretty much obsessed. I introduced her to your station, and she loves it. We listen to it in the office. But if you have any obscure Rick (not Jessie’s Girl, i have to listen to that all the time) She would love to hear it. Please?

Please add and play “The 12th of Never” by Manuel and his men from the mountains. You have a great music treasure going. Thanks. Also, please play some of Tammy Wynette hits…..fudge on top 40…they were big on country charts, one more add should be “When A Man Loves A Woman”..Percy Sledge. Thx again.

Steve, some advice….hard rock, rap, filthy language in songs of 70s-99 are inconsistent with 01-69 years. Split 1900-1969 and new channel 1970-2011. Even better, you could still play 1900+ songs and songs FROM top 40 but use your musical knowledge to leave out the trash since there are some good hits 71-99. A good friend airs only songs he likes and his library is extraordinary. Enjoying your internet efforts. Just remember, BEST music ever comes from 1948-1963…none other will ever compete.

Steve, one more request as I watch on studio cam you are having a lively time this tuesday. You need to play for us “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White” by Perez Prado Orch. Per Joel Whitburn, CP&ABW is the most popular single song during the entire period 1955 thru 1988. Apparently, RCA re-recorded it with the smooth, studio resonating sound mid 1955 when it made the charts big. Whitburn shows it as RCA #5965, but the UK version is this true item. Thanks for all the memories.

Big Brother and The Holding Company and not just their standards but songs like “Hall of The Mountain King” and “Road Block”. I love the sounds from SF in the 60s and what was popular during the same time period in Europe.
I also remember when bands like Human League were popular in the 80s but never hear them played.

Okay, this really really date me, but how about some Spike Jones, remember him? What crazy guy, loved his stuff.

More TV and Movie Tunes. Also, I think OLDER country music is a huge part of our musical legacy. Hank Williams SR., Patsy Cline, some bluegrass classics (not just Foggy Mtn. Breakdown), some of the early Grand Ol’ Opry, Texas Swing, too……Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys,…these are all part of our heritage. I don’t care all that much for the new stuff because I don’t see anything that really defines it as “country” per se, with a few notable exceptions. Thanks for playing and thanks for listening.

I would LOVE to hear some Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, and some SF psychedelic rock. The Jefferson Airplane did so much more than just White Rabbit and Somebody to Love. How about “The Ballad of You, Me and Pooneil” or Martha (both from the After Bathing at Baxter’s album.

Anything by Johnnie Mercer? I’ve heard he was a great writer but don’t know his tunes.
Also I’m a big fan of Jimmy Webb, so any tunes by him.
I do enjoy the super oldies from early 20th century, but I would like to hear a couple great male vocals from that period if I could.
A great eighties tune with the coolest grove of all time, Hey Nineteen, Steely Dan.
Great station, by the way!

I would like to hear “Scotch and Soda” by the Kingston Trio.

Some Bill Dana comedy like “The Astronaut”
Yeah, it’s not politically correct, but so what!
Timmie Rogers, the black comedian whose stand-up
routines were halarious, but helped raise the
acceptance of black comics in the early 60s.
He is referred to as the “Jackie Robinson”
of comedy. “Oh, yeah!”

Harry…don’t exactly agree with your comment regarding nothing will compare with anything after 1963. The Beatles..Hello! Being born in 1953 I had my teenage years between about 1966 thru 1972 and I heard plenty of good music that was not filthy or anything. The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac for instance become very popular in the 70s. But I didn’t much actively listen after that, although I did hear because my then teenage daughter was listening to 80s songs. Some stuff from Wham, Tears for Fears, Simply Red and others were quite nice. So were the videos. But I did turn off the radio in the mid 80s and go back to my records and tapes and CDs. Just another point of view.
