Sixties Sojourn is an initiative of Connection Matters Radio
The Number 1 Hit Today Througout the Sixties
Sunday 28 June 2020 at 3pm on 3KND – 1503AM – or the I Heart Radio App
We launched a new segment today on Sixties Sojourn, the number one hit today throughout the sixties. Sound a bit confusing? Not really. We simply take the number one hit today (the 28th of June) for every year during the 10 years of the sixties…and we rock to them! Well, they’re not really all rock, but that’s for you to find out.
Here are just some of the artists taking to the stage during the show.
The Easybeats
Cilla Black
Normie Rowe
Zager and Evans
Peter, Paul and Mary
Sandie Shaw
The Seekers
David Ruffin
Charles’ Pick
Under the Boardwalk – The Drifters
How can anyone not absolutely love this song – the Drifters singing the story of a man and his beloved planning a tryst at a seaside town “out of the sun and under the boardwalk”.
