Today’s song likely has the most bizarre history of any song we have listened to on the Soundtrack so far.In 1970 folk music and the psychedelic sound crossed paths. Turning on, Tuning in, and Dropping out was the buzzword. Two folk/rock singers, Mike Brewer and Tom Shipley, were performing their

I like to say that Hall & Oates saved the 1980s from copycats and repetition of the super bands of the 1970s. It was getting hard to find a fresh sound, and Blue-eyed soul was carving a niche left behind by the soul singers of the 1970s. Hall & Oates were producing hit after hit.They made many le

Even though my lifetime Soundtrack features a lot of songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, every so often I find a current artist and a song that I think deserves to be included in my list of favorites. One of those artists is Bruno Mars. Mars who grew up in Honolulu, HI took his act to LA. to find f

Growing up in the 1960s (I know a long time ago), everyone wanted to be in a rock band. Garage bands permeated the neighborhoods as we all tried to be the next Elvis. Every kid I knew aspired to become a rock star by playing guitar or drums. If you were an (aspiring) drummer there was a barometer
