The 60's
The Sixties began with the doo-wop sound carrying over from the fifties and ended with a band called The Beatles having changed the music landscape in the decade.
Berry Gordy's Motown brought Diana Ross & The Supremes onto the scene as well as The Temptations, The Four Tops and The Jackson Five. The success of the Motown sound in the Sixties has been hard to duplicate through the decades as the music still sounds great today! When you tune in Oldies XL you will hear the best songs from this decade .
The summer of 1969 saw Woodstock take place in New York and 400,000 fans gathering for this infamous rock festival. Many bands made their debut here that led to record deals in the next decade..The Seventies!

The 70's
The Super Seventies changed music again as did the Sixties. The Beatles were at the end of their domination of the music charts as the members began solo careers. Carryover bands such as Crosby, Stills & Nash, Creedence, Moody Blues & Steppenwolf made way for Fleetwood Mac, Kiss, and Eagles.
Let us never forget what began as a movement in the Philadelphia R&B scene & New York's private dance parties and by 1978 peaked in the US. Of course, this is "disco" - Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, & The Bee Gees still sound great today and the hits that made them iconic are played on Oldies XL.
Disco was, shall we say, "dead" by 1980 - the late 70's saw this music fade away quickly to make way for the Awesome Eighties!

The 80's
The eighties began with Blondie singing "Call Me" and Lipps Inc. taking us to "Funkytown" trying to keep disco alive, but acts like REO Speedwagon, The Police, Journey, & Joan Jett went into the recording studios and produced old-fashioned "Rock 'n Roll" that sealed disco's fate.
Many perceive the early 80's as a bad time for music without a real identity and consistent theme. By 1983 and through the mid Eighties however there was a Top 40 movement that hadn't been seen in years. Songs would not stay at #1 any longer for 8 or more weeks because there was always a better song to take over the top!
The late Eighties saw hair bands come, and then go - saw the emergence of "Rap" and Urban R&B, heading into an era of great change in the music world.
