Minneapolis - WWTC 1280 Golden Rock Question
I'm looking for a particular song, played weekly on the old Golden Rock
WWTC 1280. It's a real needle-in-the-haystack sort of a thing. Back in the early 80's, I would guess around 1980-81 specifically, my Dad would always tune into WWTC 1280 during the afternoon hours on the weekends, and it seemed like every weekend we'd hear the same songs. I remember hearing "Black is Black", "Secret Agent Man", and unfortunately, "Eve of Distruction", which always sent me out of the room covering my ears, because it made me sad. (I was a sensitive 8 year old kid.) But there was one particular song that was always being played, and I LOVED it, but I didn't know what it was? I'm not sure if I couldn't understand the lyrics? I used to call it "The song that rumbled the house" because the man singing the song had a very deep voice. Unfortunately, I still have no idea of what the lyrics are for the song, and don't know who sang it. I do know that it must be a rare song, because I haven't heard it for the last 25 years, and I've always been looking for it. This is what I know: Male singer or group Strikes me as a song that would be from the 1964-66 era. Sounds a LOT like these songs: "California Sun", by the Rivieras. (Sounds a LOT like this song! VERY similar.) "Lets Dance", Chris Montez "Under the Boardwalk", Drifters "I want Candy", original version, not Bow Wow Wow. "Got a line on you", Spirit (chorus) Sounds very much like beach type music. Sounds driving and raw, like a garage band. Very fast paced song, with a bit of an eerie overtone. Very deep bass and singer has a deep voice, possibly hard to understand lyrics? Played every weekend on WWTC in the early 80's, in the afternoon hours. Never played on KOOL 108 or any other oldies related stations. I apologize for not giving a lot to go by. This is about all I know. I've looked for the song for a good 20+ years now with no luck. My folks, who heard the song weekly, have no idea either. I think its something rare. Maybe a favorite of the DJ at the time? (Does anyone know who the afternoon weekend DJ was back in the years 1979-1981?) If anyone used to listen to WWTC in the early 80's and might know what I'm talking about, please let me know. Many thanks! Tina |
