Join CLASSICKONG for another journey through the songs, artists, inventions, and memories that helped shape the soundtrack of our lives.
Today we travel all the way back to 1937, when George Beauchamp received his historic electric-guitar patent, and explore how his pioneering work fits alongside the later innovations of Les Paul. We celebrate the timeless Judy Garland and The Wizard of Oz, remember a 13-year-old Stevie Wonder making chart history with “Fingertips — Part 2,” and CLASSICKONG shares a personal childhood memory of performing Stevie’s “Sir Duke” with his trio, The Sunshine Oranges, at Pete’s Supper Club in Evansville, Indiana.
We also turn up Bryan Adams’ Reckless, an album forever connected to CLASSICKONG and his wife; celebrate the unforgettable Ronnie Spector, including her incredible comeback alongside Eddie Money on “Take Me Home Tonight”; wish Ian Anderson a happy birthday with a personal reflection on Jethro Tull’s The Broadsword and the Beast and the beautiful “Slow Marching Band”; and remember the legendary Isaac Hayes—from his soulful interpretation of “Never Can Say Goodbye” to his unforgettable turn as The Duke of New York, A-Number-One, in Escape from New York. 😎
Because here at WTSG-DB, music history isn’t simply about dates on a calendar.
It’s about the memories attached to the music. ❤️🎶
