  • This Sunday’s WJPA Vinyl Countdown replays the music of June 16, 1969 when the Beatles’ “Get Back” was the number one song in the country.

    It was also the week:

    • Jackie DeShannon released what would become her signature song, “Put A Little Love In Your Heart.


    • Jimi Hendrix produced a song for Cat Mother and the All-Night Newsboys called “Good Old Rock And Roll.


    • Jay and the Americans updated the Mystics 1950’s hit, “Hushabye.


    • Kenny Rogers and the First Edition had the highest debut that week with “Ruby Don’t Take Your Love To Town.


    • And the fastest-moving song that week was Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.”


    You’ll hear that hit and all of the hits of June 16, 1969 this Sunday at noon on WJPA.

    The Vinyl Countdown is presented by Canonsburg’s Guitar Gallery and Slovenian Savings and Loan.
