LR / BFYP NOTE: While I’d love to have been more organized with this month’s
article, it just didn’t happen. Sigh … so it is not yet finished, and sadly, there’s a chance it may not
be complete until September 3rd.
So, here’s a taste of what’s up for
September so far … the Featured Radio
Survey from KING Radio, Seattle, Washington, is your teaser. The rest will
be finished soon … don’t touch that dial!
Work in progress …

>Then:
September 1971 …
The Jackson 5’s “Maybe Tomorrow” dropped
from #6 to #18 on WJET/Eerie, Pennsylvania’s “Top 50 Survey” the first
week of September. It preceded by a week, their new, short-lived cartoon series
debut …
September
11th:
The Jackson 5ive joined ABC’s Saturday morning cartoon line-up without much
assistance from the band. The purely fictional antics of The Jackson 5ive
made a debut splash for kiddies but left the air about a year later, as Michael
stepped out into the solo world.
A 1976-‘77 live musical variety show,
The Jacksons,
gave fans a more personal peek into most of the Jackson kids’ personalities …
though that too, didn’t last long, as Michael began to stray from family to devote
more time to his solo projects.
So much of Rock & Roll pulls from earlier music genres, blending, swirling, incorporating and that of course, includes Classical music. So this month let’s celebrate Classical Music Month and its influence on Rock & Roll!
Pianos and flutes have long been part of many music genres and this month’s “Colour My World,” Monthly Song of Note carries incredible solos for both … yes, in Rock & Roll.
More coming …
