We Intro The Liverbirds, Then It’s ‘Ladies Day Out’ and a Judy Collins ‘Spotlight’ on Sunday, December 29, 2024

Good morning, music historians. We’re sure you’ve never heard about The Liverbirds, a band referred to as ‘the all-girl Beatles’ who came from Liverpool and graced the music scene from 1963 to 1968. We’ve got them today, as well as all-girl programming!

Here’s your all-girl lineup:

Was there an all-girl band before the Liverbirds from, where else, Liverpool, England? We’re not sure. They were on the music scene from 1963 through 1968 and are referred to as ‘the all-girl Beatles’. We have a link from Wikipedia in the opening paragraph of this blog entry, but here’s some additional information on this band.

Today It’s an Al Green ‘Spotlight’, Live Rolling Stones and Our ‘A Little Bit O’ Soul’ EP on Saturday, December 28, 2024

Good morning, soulful revelers! We’ve got a great lineup today that includes our ‘A Little Bit O’ Soul’ EP that combines the best of Motown, Stax, Atlantic and others to deliver the best of soul and R & B during the sixties and seventies.

Here’s your Saturday musical lineup:

9:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Al Green

One of the absolute best here, the Reverend Al. Here’s a little treat to whet your whistle, as they say. Al Green joins with Chicago on a TV special from back in 1978 for Tired of Being Alone. A gem.

This performance is new to our station. We’ve never aired it before. I saw the Stones live in Boston around this time back in the day. One of the best I’ve seen.
