Join CLASSICKONG for the August 27 edition of This Day in Music History from WTSG-DB.

Today we remember the incomparable Stevie Ray Vaughan, 36 years after his tragic passing, and revisit the remarkable night in 1965 when The Beatles finally met Elvis Presley.

We celebrate Alex Lifeson’s birthday with a salute to the music of Rush, crank up the bass in memory of Tim Bogert of Vanilla Fudge, Cactus and Beck, Bogert & Appice, and travel back to the 1970s to remember Daryl “The Captain” Dragon, Toni Tennille, their unforgettable records and their classic television variety show.

We’ll also spin through Pearl Jam’s Ten, Garth Brooks’ No Fences, George Michael’s funky “Monkey,” Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps’ rock-and-roll classic “Be-Bop-a-Lula,” and the work of Turtles bassist and Monkees producer Chip Douglas.

And finally, CLASSICKONG discovers the theremin—an electronic instrument you play without even touching it.

With Halloween approaching, that could be dangerous. 👻😂

It’s another trip through the songs, artists and memories that make music history worth remembering.

Great Music. Great Radio. Great Community.
