Sadly--This is Our Final Episode of This Series But Were Going Out in Style! | Professor of Rock

Описание: Coming up…we take the time machine back to a year that changed everything with songs that were all over the map. We’ll tell the tale of Time of the Season that became a massive hit after the Zombies, the band that recorded it, broke up, and they had no idea that the song was soaring around the world. As well as Sugar Sugar, a song that was one of the catchiest of all time, but it was recorded by a fictional kids' band, and it became the biggest hit of the year even though the man who sang it was a mystery for a decade. And... the drama behind Tommy James, who battled a mobster who threatened to take him out rather than pay him the 10million he’d stolen from him. So the Singer had to produce his new song Crimson and Clover himself and when he took it to a local DJ to show him a rough demo, the DJ played it on his radio show and it became a #1 hit overnight. It’s all coming up next.

Hey Music Junkies Professor of Rock, always here to celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all time. If you ever sat next to a kid that ate his Elmer’s glue, or you were the one that partook, you’ll dig this channel of deep musical nostalgia. Make sure to like, share, and comment. It’s time to take our time in a bottle countdown to the end of the 60s. We’re going to try this, and depending on your feedback, this is likely the last time in a bottle countdown since we already covered the 70s and 80s, but let me know if we should do the 60s or 90s. Today we’re going back to 1969. Before we share the 10 songs we’re saving in our Time Bottle Dated 1969, let’s take a moment to pay homage to Jim Croce, the man who gave us the inspiration for this show. In ’69, Jim & his wife Ingrid released their album Jim & Ingrid Croce. We miss you Jim!

Coming in at #10 on our 1969 Time in a Bottle countdown is a song that was a pop culture wonder on the tube and on the radio. It’s the “Theme from Hawaii Five-O” by The Ventures. The Ventures have the distinction of being the best‑selling instrumental rock band ever, and their influence goes way beyond the California surf scene they’re often tied to. They basically helped shape the sound of early 1960s electric guitar, introducing effects like fuzz and tremolo with that two‑guitar setup that a lot of rock bands would copy for years. They didn’t just rely on hit singles….The band released some of the first concept albums and proved you could sell records with strong albums, without relying on the success of singles to drive sales. The Ventures take on the Hawaii Five‑O theme was iconic. It was one of the defining sounds of 69, and one of the most recognizable TV theme songs, but here’s the deal: the Ventures didn’t actually perform the original Hawaii Five‑O theme on that hit record.

Their 69 single was boosted by Los Angeles session players from the coveted studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew, including legendary guitarist Tommy Tedesco. The TV version from ’68 was recorded in Hollywood at Western Recorders with the CBS Orchestra, and the Ventures basically learned the arrangement later for their album version: Show creator Leonard Freeman asked Stevens to craft a theme that captured the energy of the islands—the driving brass, punchy horns, and urgent rhythm that match the iconic opening of rolling waves. When CBS revived Hawaii Five‑O in 2010, they initially went with a synthesized, modern cover, which fans hated. The network listened to the crowd and brought back a shorter, high-energy brass rendition of the original Stevens arrangement. The Ventures had a #4 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single release of “The Theme from Hawaii Five O”…Book ‘em Dano!

At #9 we have a classic song we’ve never covered on this channel and it’s a bit shocking since it’s such a big one. It’s that sweet dose of ear candy titled “Build Me Up Buttercup” by the Foundations. “Build Me Up Buttercup” was co-written by Mike d’Abo, the lead singer of Manfred Mann, and Tony Macaulay. According to Mike, he originally wrote the chorus to end on a simple, resolving note, but Macaulay heard the demo and urged him, “
