Elvis author and radio presenter Matt Shepherd invited me to share my Top 3 favorite Elvis Presley songs on his Golden Years radio show.
Besides Elvis, Little Richard provides some more music from the Rock & Roll Heaven. There's mini chart countdowns from 1957 and 1962. Petula Clark takes us "Downtown" for our Easy Listening Moment. There's a battle of the bands featuring The Beatles v The Beach Boys. Who is the best? Have your say! Plus it's back to 1958 for our "smoochie at the end of the show". The great days are back again!
