50 YEARS OF MUSIC - Thursdays at 9:00 AM and Sundays at 8:00 AM.

This week I'm joined by my daughter Elise, who helps choose and play soul music to turn up and enjoy. From the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies, these are songs that will make you smile, even when they're originate musically from a broken heart.

From well known and overplayed artists like the Temptations and James Brown to lesser known talents like Arthur Conley and The Shades of Blue.

Don't expect to hear Aretha Franklin sing "Respect." Instead, enjoy Otis Redding's original version, while Aretha, after one of music's most powerful 2-note intro, climb's an octave and a half in the opening 3 seconds of "Since You've Been Gone."

We'll play songs that everyone can sing along to, like Sam & Dave's "Soul Man" and The Supremes "Where Did Our Love Go" to songs you may not know but have just as powerful a kick, like The Bar Kays' "Soul Finger" and The Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing."

An hour after the show check to see what song is still going through your head.
