ABBA Back In Action!

ABBA Back In Action!

The following article appeared in Forbes.com. ABBA has recorded two new songs, its first in 35 years, and plans a TV special and a digital project to recreate the four members performing as ‘ABBAtars.’ It is enough to inspire countless headlines today about “Money, Money, Money” – and “Mamma Mia,” here we go again - referencing some of ABBA’s best-known songs, along with “Dancing Queen,” “Take A Chance On Me” and “The Winner Takes It All.” While figures vary, industry watche

Forgotten Favorite

Forgotten Favorite

Many songs disappear after they reach their peak on the charts and are rarely heard anymore. Here's one of my favorites. This song came out in 1978. It was recorded by Suzi Quatro and Chris Norman. Suzi Quatro played the character Leather Tuscadero on TV's Happy Days in the seventies. I first played this song on a radio station in Sussex county, N.J. WSUS. I immediately took a liking to it and have loved the song ever since. Enjoy it's a goodie!

Back To A Day Where DJ's DJ's and Radio Was Radio!

I grew up listen to WABC and enjoyed hearing happy, humorous voices playing great music and keeping me company all the time. Dan Ingram was a radio genius. His quick wit kept us laughing all the time. There was no anger, vulgarity, smart ass talk, degrading comments, or anything that would insult his audience. Radio was bright, fun and an uplifting way to get through your day! Back in 1968, you would hear a live announcer identify the station twice an hour. This was a staff a
