Here is a new series of great tracks for 2024.

All these tracks were in the US and/or UK charts in 1968. 

It seems like yesterday we were dancing to these tunes. I hope you enjoy this mix of artists from USA and UK. 

I hope you have enjoyed all of the sometimes-forgotten tracks from 1968.

  4. 1968! I was 17 the world was mine! College, girls and all the rest... Thanks for this music. The British stuff is tattooed on my brain but some US tunes are new. I like your sense of humour with Tony Blackbum! Good for a laugh. I look forward to the series.
