Today In Oldies 1/ /2012
Golden Hits Radio's Everything Oldies.....we've got a nose for Oldies news!
- Could Creedence Clearwater Revival be the next group to catch reunion fever? Don't hold your breath, says a former member

Out of the Mouths of Songwriters
For a songwriter, titles and lyrics can come from the strangest of places, and in the case of one of Motown's biggest hits, the corniest of lines in the heat of an argument.
By 1965, Motown Records had become the most bankable hitmaking machine in the music business. The songwriting team responsibe for many of those hits was the threesome of brothers Brian and Edward Holland (Jr.) and Lamont Dozier. Among their hits up that point were Marvin Gaye's "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)", The Four Tops' "Baby I Need Your Lovin'", and The Miracles' "Mickey's Monkey".
The origin of their smash that made the list of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" goes back to an argument between Lamont Dozier and his girlfriend at the time. In the heat of the moment, he uttered a line that made them both laugh, and they agreed that something that corny had to become a song title.
The song with that corny title was recorded today in 1965 It would hit #1 in April and become one of Holland/Dozier/Holland's signature songs. From The Supremes' appearance on "The Hollywood Palace" later that year...............
Golden Hits Radio's Burning Question of the Day

Eyewitness to Tragedy
Today marks an anniversary that most Americans who experienced it would rather forget. Everyone remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news, including a group of musicians who were just three blocks from where the tragedy occured, where they were rehearsing for a package show that night. That show never happened, and the entire nation would grieve for several days.
One of the multitude of various "Caravan of Stars" concerts in the 60's was set to feature a star-studded roster. Dale and Grace, Brian Hyland, Bobby Vee, and Jimmy Clanton were on the bill, and they were fully aware that another event was taking place in the vicinity of where they would be performing later that night. In fact, as they were preparing for the show in a rehearsal hall that afternoon, they were alerted to the fact that a motorcade was coming through. They all walked outside the rehearsal hall and waved to the guest of honor as the motorcade passed through. A mere three blocks later and several minutes later, one of the darkest moments in American history would occur.
The "Caravan of Stars" were rehearsing three blocks from Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. President John F. Kennedy was set to give a speech at the Dallas Trade Mart that afternoon. It would prove to be a speech he never made, as an assassin's bullet struck him dead passing through Dealey Plaza at approximately 1:30 p.m. Eastern time that afternoon. It should go without saying that most of the nation's routine activities, including the "Caravan of Stars", fell by the wayside as they mourned the loss of their leader.
Five years later, Dion would record a poignant tribute to some of America's greatest agents of social change, including John Kennedy and his also recently assassinated brother, Robert. It would be a million seller, and become a Top 5 hit. From a 1968 performance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour..........
