One Hit Wonders: 3 Songs From 1969

Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback!  I’m Jumpin’ John, and in this podcast episode I will transport you listeners back to the year 1969!  The 1969-1970 time period is often referred to as an important transitional period in music that witnessed Album-Oriented Rock formats overshadowing Top 40 singles on the airwaves.  Back in 1969 the music buying industry was becoming dominated by purchases of rock albums.  The focus of this podcast is not on those popular albums of 1969.  Rather, I will briefly discuss three singles that were released in 1969 and are now considered to be classic one hit wonders!  Those three songs were “In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)”  by Zager and Evans, "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies, and "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum.  These three singles each would play significant roles in American music and pop culture.  We welcome your feedback, so please feel free to click on this link and let us know your thoughts and/or suggestions via phone text!All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.  The Podcast Theme Song, "You Essay", was written by John.  It was initially recorded by Bill and John on April 1, 2004 with several revisions since then. Multiple promo videos and photos for Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts are available on the following social media sites:https://www.youtube.com/@RockandRollFlashbackhttps://www.facebook.com/rockandrollflashbackpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/jumpinjohnmcdermott/Bill and John welcome your feedback and comments, and they can be emailed to [email protected] you for listening to Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts!Until next time...Rock On!
