Not the Obvious Choices
Big names, hundreds of recordings, here are the not off-the-top-of-your head choices.
When you say the biggest names in classic pop, rock and soul, immediately their biggest hits come to mind. We can rattle those hits off like we're saying the Pledge of Allegiance. On this edition of American Jukebox we bypass the big ones and take a deeper dive to the more obscure charted hits, and in some cases recordings that never charted or were ever released as singles.
The talent lineup includes the big draws from the '60s and '70s. Big names like Sam Cooke, Brenda Lee, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, James Taylor, Carly Simon, Dusty Springfield, Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand, Cher, Bruce Springsteen and Helen Reddy to name some.
Your listeners will find surprises and surely a few tracks they don't know at all, like Springsteen's Shenandoah and Dionne Warwick's Once You Hit the Road.
Enjoy the not obvious choices from our favorites.
