5. Kid Rock – Born Free

[DallasBiff]

I enjoy these guys last hour on Friday's, where they play classic popular songs from 60-00, and play them with a theme, such as the above topic of "Freedom songs".

If one did a theme of popular songs with an actual month in the title, all I can think of is Three Dog Night's, "Pieces of April".

Thank of you for your list of month songs, but they seem yo be lacking from the boomer and x generation songs.

I'm a Boomer and followed the Top 40 charts into the Nixon era but don't know too many Generation X, Generation Y or iGen songs. My favorite decade for pop music is 1926-1936.

I know you listened to KHJ back in the day, which song knocked off the Stones, "Satisfaction", from number 1, in July 65.

Just a hint, she/it was part of a duo.

Freedom: Jimi Hendrix...

[Fiji Hill]

Probably “I’ve Got You, Babe” by Sonny & Cher. In June, 1965, we moved to Portland, Ore. for a while and KISN—”The KISN Good Guys”—were our source of Top 40 hits.
