this podcast is going to be all about 60's music. the goal with this podcast is to educate a younger generation on one of the greatest decades of music of all time, and to prove to people that Millennials can love 60's music as well and it's not just for Baby boomers. Each week I"m going to review one song by one artist from the 60's and split the podcast into two halfs. first half is going to be my perspective and my opinion on the song and why I think it's so good or why I don't think it's so great. then I'm going to talk about the history behind the group or artist that did the song and talk about the behind the scenes industry people and places that helped make it a hit (writers and producers, session musicians and band members and recording studios and chart positions, etc.) I will occasionally interview industry people from back then either over the phone or in person to give you a better glimpse of how the business worked back then and how much has changed since then, and to educate younger people on their careers and the songs they made famous to the people listening that may not be familiar with their music at all

Episode 264 Part 1: Sly & The Family Stone

Hey Guys! so I am officially back with another episode for the free version of my podcast! and I decided to try something different with this episode. I honestly noticed a dip in my listeners for this show compared to last year, and I thought maybe it's because of the sound quality of my episodes. so for this episode, I"m using a different mic than in my previous episodes, so maybe a new mic will help get some more listeners back to my podcast. so this month, I finally took a crack at a very historically important band, because this month marked the bandleader's 82nd Birthday but also, a REALLY fantastic documentary just came out about them. one that you should all watch for sure. and there were some women in this group so there's a little women's history thrown in this group as well for women's history month as well. (which is this month) so here we go, next month I'll dive into more of this band's history as well. here's the link to this week's song & artist so you can check it out & listen to it as well:
