this podcast is going to be all about 60's music. the goal with this podcast is to educate a younger generation on one of the greatest decades of music of all time, and to prove to people that Millennials can love 60's music as well and it's not just for Baby boomers. Each week I"m going to review one song by one artist from the 60's and split the podcast into two halfs. first half is going to be my perspective and my opinion on the song and why I think it's so good or why I don't think it's so great. then I'm going to talk about the history behind the group or artist that did the song and talk about the behind the scenes industry people and places that helped make it a hit (writers and producers, session musicians and band members and recording studios and chart positions, etc.) I will occasionally interview industry people from back then either over the phone or in person to give you a better glimpse of how the business worked back then and how much has changed since then, and to educate younger people on their careers and the songs they made famous to the people listening that may not be familiar with their music at all

    Hey Guys! So I am BACK with another free episode for my podcast! And WOW do I have some GREAT news for you. My album is done and THEE VERY first single for my album comes out on November 6th!!!! YEESSS!!! And that single is the finished version of a track that was left unfinished and unreleased by a REALLY big band from back in the 60’s! The track is VERY much a stylistic change for myself but a VERY much welcome one for myself I might add The song is called “Long Way To Go” and BOY is it a doozy! I cannot WAIT to share that one with you guys. It’s coming out on the 60th anniversary on when the song would’ve peaked on the charts had it been finished and released back in the 60’s.

    Episode 281: Ian Whitcomb

    hey Guys! So here's something that you may not be expecting from me. another free episode this month! So Yes, the free episode I released this month is actually a re release of an older episode from 2021. so I wanted to do one more free episode this month so I can give you guys more updates about my album as well. I'm definitely getting closer and closer to finishing up recording my record, but GOD DAMNIT is it taking a LONG ASS time to finish it. Longer than I initially wanted it to get done. but honestly guys, the support system that I had it terms of finishing my last record isn't really there with this one. my graphic designer/album artwork designer who I worked with on my last project is unavailable to do this one, and my ex vocal coach who I was working wasn't really around for this project, and she was a MASSIVE help with finishing the last project in terms of finding musicians to play on the last project that I did with them. but she wasn't really around to step in and help out with this one, as it was mostly her husband who was in charge of recording this project and I'm the one really spear heading it without any outside help really aside from having to fend for myself with my own resources in terms of the musicians playing on this project. so that's primarily why it's taking so long for me to finish this project. had they stepped in and brought musicians in to play on these songs, then this project woul've been finished quite a while ago in terms of the recording of it. but anyways, I decided to do quite the provocative song this week for my podcast that's different from most other songs that I've done for my podcast. it's a 60's song but it's rather dirty and adult oriented compared to the other songs that I've talked about on my podcast. here's the link to the song right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9PjUscNOJM&list=RDS9PjUscNOJM&start_radio=1 please do follow me & reach out to me on Instagram & Tik Tok right here: https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies https://www.tiktok.com/@iheartoldies also PLEASE subscribe to the premium version of my podcast so you can hear all of these GREAT interview episodes with these REALLY cool 60's music legends on my podcast, and you can be like my friends who couldn't shut up about my podcast who went to my last show! you can do that by clicking the link right here: https://themillennialthrowbackmachine.supercast.com/ PLEASE do stream my last EP as well. I'm SUPER proud of these songs and even though I cannot WAIT to finish up recording my third album, I absolutely LOVE these songs as well and I REALLY want you guys to hear them if you haven't already heard them as well: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/samlwilliams/an-old-soul-with-new--remiagined-things also do check out the Spotify and Youtube playlists for this podcast, just so that way you can keep track of all of the songs that I've talked about on my podcast just in case you've been loosing track. here's the link to that right here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=d07335a8688d44e3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7 Nf if your a Millennial/Gen Z and you think that this song is cool and you've never heard it before and you got turned on by it from me, then ABSOLUTELY email me at samltwilli@icloud.com. you can also follow me & reach out to me on Instagram & Tik Tok @iheartoldies. hope you guys enjoyed two free episodes this month instead of one. I'll be back with just one episode this month, but I also hope that you enjoyed the special re release of the Steve Boone interview episode as well to this free feed. I'll be back with more updates about my album next month, so until then, PLEASE, keep things groovy!

    Interview Episode 11 Re-Upload: Steve Boone

    hey guys! So as promised, I'm giving you guys a special re-airing of an interview episode I originally released for FREE 5 years ago. YES! this episode was up for QUITE sometime but It was unfortunately taken down because of a song clip that was used in the beginning of the interview. but now I'm re-uploading it without the song clip. and let me tell you guys. this band was absolutely INCREDIBLE! they were SO talented, and it was an absolute HONOR to interview one of the original members of this group on my podcast. If your'e new to listening to this show. I normally don't release interview episodes for free but this interview I originally released for the free version of my podcast prior to launching the premium version of my podcast. but it was taken down because of a song clip so I'm re uploading it without the song clip. anyways, I TRULY believe that their music has held up over the years. Millennial Acoustic Singer Songwriters can EASILY sink their teeth into their stuff. and they had a REALLY good blend of Folk, Country, and Pop/Rock & Roll sensibilities. these guys ALSO mixed in Jug Band Blues into their stuff as well. here are the songs we discussed in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnbfuAcCqpY&list=RDJnbfuAcCqpY&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIM579H-f7Y&list=RDBIM579H-f7Y&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4uCug9y0_k&list=RDm4uCug9y0_k&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt5Jy983uTE&list=RDLt5Jy983uTE&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txTEhgReZUA&list=RDtxTEhgReZUA&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G9JEauj7A8&list=RD8G9JEauj7A8&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJAzJR0AiSI&list=RDoJAzJR0AiSI&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YgevxRGXIU&list=RD5YgevxRGXIU&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfXpqgKWJ7g&list=RDPfXpqgKWJ7g&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZqgFyj5uTo&list=RD9ZqgFyj5uTo&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAur4CWJIPw&list=RDpAur4CWJIPw&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9gKcb2DSb8&list=RDG9gKcb2DSb8&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyw29FZki0Y&list=RDZyw29FZki0Y&start_radio=1 If you want to hear more interviews like this, please click this link right here & sign up for the premium version of my podcast: https://themillennialthrowbackmachine.supercast.com/ also definitely follow me & reach out to me on IG & Tik Tok right here: https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies https://www.tiktok.com/@iheartoldies since I released this episode for free, I did add the songs that we discussed in this interview to the Spotify & Youtube playlists for this podcast. you can find these playlists right here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=17c92f74d1b5470f https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7Nf I'm holding off on promoting my merch until I find some new print on demand companies for my merch, but please do listen to my last music project so you can brace yourself for my next one. you can find that right here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/samlwilliams/an-old-soul-with-new--remiagined-things If your a Millennial/ Gen Z and you absolutely LOVED this interview and you got turned on to the Lovin Spoonful's music from me, then PLEASE email me at samltwilli@icloud.com. I wish I could give you more album updates guys with me for this particular episode but I"m running out of character space, so what I'll do is that I'll record a solo episode and release it this month and give you guys some more album updates then. but I hope you guys enjoyed this interview episode. this episode surely is a throwback episode because I'm not 25 anymore (I'm 30 now) but I know that some other earlier podcast episodes were also taken down, but if you want those to be re-uploaded, please let me know. even though it'll definitely be tough to re-upload those. I'll talk to you guys again one more time this month.

    Episode 280: Dale And Grace

    Hey guys! so it's at the end of the month now, which means I"m gonna release another free episode for my podcast. and actually, next month I"m doing something pretty special. One of the interviews that I released for the free version of my podcast was unfortunately taken down because of a song clip that I used in the interview, and I didn't get back to my distributor in time to let them know that the song clip was used in context of fair use of my interview that I released. so it was unfortunately taken down. so next month, I'm gonna re release the interview and it's with an original member of the Lovin Spoonful! that was originally released in February of 2021. the playlists for my podcast won't be updated next month as this was a previously released episode for my podcast. it will not have the song clip in the interview (unlike the original interview) but it will be the original interview as it was when I recorded it with Steve Boone (the original member of the Lovin Spoonful who I interviewed for my podcast). but anyways, this month, I'm diving into a song in a very specific style from the 60's known as Swamp Pop I dive into exactly what genre is in this episode. here's the song I discuss this month right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5L5i7ARdAY&list=RDD5L5i7ARdAY&start_radio=1 do also follow me & reach out to me on Instagram & Tik Tok right here: https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies https://www.tiktok.com/@iheartoldies also PLEASE do subscribe to the premium verison of my podcast! next month I will be re releasing a special interview that I originally released for the free version of my podcast so that way, you guys can get a taste of what you would get for the free version of my podcast. if you want more of those interviews with these REALLY cool 60's music legends, PLEASE click this link right here: https://themillennialthrowbackmachine.supercast.com/ also PLEASE do listen to the Spotify and Youtube playlists for this podcast. so that way you guys can hear the songs that I have talked about on my podcast. you can do that by clicking the link right here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=452caeb240974f61 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7Nf also here's another thing guys. I know that I have been plugging the podcast merch stores for a while, but at this moment, I'm looking for new Print On Demand stores for my merch items. mainly because I"m pretty disappointed with the quality of fabric with the T shirts I've gotten from my merch stores from both makers of my Sam L. Williams Merch and my podcast Merch. I got two shirts from both stores as Christmas Gifts and by March, both shirts were pretty worn out and the logos were very much faded. so I am going to make some moves to another Print On Demand companies with MUCH better quality of products/Fabrics. So I'm gonna hold off on plugging my merch for now, but PLEASE do listen to my last EP so you can brace yourself for my next album that I"m SO excited to finish: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/samlwilliams/an-old-soul-with-new--remiagined-things if you guys enjoyed this interview and you fell in love with this song through me, or maybe you weren't crazy about it and your a Millennial/Gen Z, PLEASE email me at samltwilli@icloud.com. you can also follow me & reach out to me on Instagram & Tik Tok @iheartoldies. hope you guys are doing great. I will give you updates about my album in July. but maybe I'll do a solo episode in June as well. we'll see. if it'll help increate listenership for my podcast that'll be good. anyways, I'll talk to you guys next month. Until then, PLEASE, Keep Things Groovy!.

Anyways, I decided to do something special for Black History Month by talking about a great Pop record from the 60's done by a pretty underrated black pop singer during that time. this is an absolutely GREAT song and I hope that you guys enjoy my take on it. here's the link to this week's song just in case you want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=PVkbdybQAsw&list=RDPVkbdybQAsw&start_radio= PLEASE do follow me & reach out to me on Instagram & Tik Tok right here: https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/ https://www.tiktok.com/@iheartoldies PLEASE do also sign up for the premium subscription version of my podcast! and I know that we've lost some great 60's music legends recently, but that's the primary reason as to why this subscription is so valuable. all of these people are going to go sooner than later, so hearing their stories is REALLY precious and priceless if you ask me. because you just never know when you may not hear from them again. so please do click this link right here so that way you don't miss out on all of these great interviews with these 60's music legends: https://themillennialthrowbackmachine.supercast.com/ also, do try to keep up with the free version of this podcast by listening to the Spotify and Youtube playlists for this podcast. now unfortunately, since some of these free episodes were taken down because of usage of song clips in the episode, some of the songs in this playlist are inconsistent with the episodes that have been posted for this podcast.

About

this podcast is going to be all about 60's music. the goal with this podcast is to educate a younger generation on one of the greatest decades of music of all time, and to prove to people that Millennials can love 60's music as well and it's not just for Baby boomers. Each week I"m going to review one song by one artist from the 60's and split the podcast into two halfs. first half is going to be my perspective and my opinion on the song and why I think it's so good or why I don't think it's so great. then I'm going to talk about the history behind the group or artist that did the song and talk about the behind the scenes industry people and places that helped make it a hit (writers and producers, session musicians and band members and recording studios and chart positions, etc.) I will occasionally interview industry people from back then either over the phone or in person to give you a better glimpse of how the business worked back then and how much has changed since then, and to educate younger people on their careers and the songs they made famous to the people listening that may not be familiar with their music at all
