Mack The Knife by Bobby Darin this afternoon on Mike. This has to be the oldest song I've heard on the station & I'm wondering why this one specifically? Is it well enough known by most ages? This week's release of Beyond The Sea on DVD (doubtful)? Has anyone heard anything else from the 50s to the mid 60s? I realize oldies from the 50s/60s standpoint are pretty much over as a format, but if variety formats prove successful I wonder if the more recognizable songs will eventually make their way back to FM radio...not as a format in themselves but as part of this whole "everything" craze.
When you come right down to it, the more conservative songs of 50s & early 60s have found a place in radio on easy type formats like WPLM but the actual rock songs of those years that paved the way for future rock found themselves with nowhere to go. I know Little Richard would agree, but the last person we need on this board is Little Richard.
