It's time to update the Jukeboxes. I know there are plenty of visits, but don't know which songs are most popular.
For all those who visit but don't post in the Guest Book, please leave a note here to let me know what you're actually listening to, or at least which you absolutely HAVE to have available.
Thanks!
Your Genial Hostess. : )
btw, you don't have to be a "member" to post here. I AM a member (obviously) & still show up as 'guest'

lettering or numbering the songs might make it simple and convenient enough to get more responses.

Thanks for replying, Ralph! I'll see what I have in my collection, which is where all this music comes from. Anonymous, over the last year or so that I've had counters on the Jukebox pages, I've seen there are a lot of people who come straight to this page without going to the rest of the site. While I've had some feedback on specific songs, I really don't know what most of these people are coming here for. I did have several by the Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws & some other Southern Rock, but never heard anything back. Since I needed the server space, I removed them & never heard a peep. If there is something you reeeeally like here, just post the title. Nothing is set in stone, so I can leave or remove. There have been very few visits to the Jazz Jukebox, so I may take those out (although I really hate to). The thing is, most of these are songs that are rarely on the radio anymore, which is why I have them here. They are for entertainment purposes only, which is why they are in RealPlayer format. Good enough to listen to, but not good enough to steal.

oh and i almost forgot Pegs / that "Nazz" ( Todds first band ) slow version of "Hello it's Me " is a hard to find classic / this was released a few years prior to Todd Rundgrens "Something Anything" album.

Hiya, George! Is this Mtv George? Just curious. : )
I'm glad you're enjoying the jukeboxes & appreciate you letting me know.
I have a friend from Pa. who remembers the Nazz version being played at her Senior Prom in 1970. I vaguely remember hearing it around then (or maybe earlier), but I DO know I heard it a lot in the Summer of '72, when I 'lived' at a radio station in West Dundee, Ill. (WVFV as it was then). One of the DJs had it in his personal collection & brought it in to play. There were so many requests for it, it was put in regular rotation. When I first heard it then, it was familiar to me, but I couldn't put a time/date on it.
The later version was released as a single in the late fall/early winter of '73/'74. I'll have to dig out my 45 to get the exact time.
Are you familiar with The Girl Of My Dreams, by Bram Tchaikovsky (on the Obscure Favorites Jukebox)? I've always loved that song. To me, it sounds like The Beatles Meet Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. I don't know anyone who knows this song. :P
Edit in: Do you think it would be "Todd Overkill" to put "I Saw The Light" in there?

Hiya, Bob!
Thanks for posting! All the songs on all the jukeboxes are full length (that's why they're in .rm format - smaller file size, so I can fit them all on here). Whichever you mean, I'm glad you've enjoyed them.
I haven't heard most of these tunes on the radio in a decade or more (although High Heeled Boys was on the oldies station 2 weeks ago - amazed me!), so I figure there are others who have been pining for a listen (assuming you don't already own the albums).
Come by often & enjoy the tunes! :D

Interesting thing that you also found the Robert Lamm song stuck with you all these years. I did also, and about 5 years ago I did a search and posted a want ad looking for the song, and a guy who's a total Chicago band freak had the ditty and e-mailed it to me. I remember the radio version from the early 70's (I'm 43, was about 11 at the time I heard it), never saw the TV commercial. I remember it being a PSA (Public Service Announcement) and the guy that had it said he worked for a radio station and kept the ad spot when the run ended. Ironically, Robert Lamm had problems with drugs himself afterward from what I've read. Technically, since the song was done as work-for-hire in a PSA some 30 years ago, I believe it's now public domain, but what do I know? You posted 4 Buckingham/Nicks tunes and I can't believe you skipped "Don't Let Me Down Again". I saw an incredible 70's/80's band named Hotel out of Birmingham, AL (more obscure music) play the song at a concert in 1979 and I've loved it ever since. I have a number of the obscure jukebox songs you have; if you saw my list, you'd probably double your jukebox with downloads from my selections. I'm a pop-rock freak, mainly 60's & 70's with a few gems from the 80's & 90's. I love the obscure album cuts & the forgotten hits. I started out as a full-time musician and still play a little sometimes. The "mature" crowd loves hearing songs they probably haven't heard in 30 years, like "No Matter What" by Badfinger, "She's Not There" by The Zombies, "Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band, "Sundown" by Gordon Lightfoot, "New Mother Nature" by The Guess Who, "Me & My Arrow" by Harry Nilsson, "Shakytown" & "Rosie" by Jackson Browne, "Castles Made Of Sand" by Jimi Hendrix (more like the Tuck & Patti version), "Walk Away Renee" by Left Banke, and the hundreds more on my songlist. Even the songs from the 80's & 90's that I play are now considered oldies --- where did the time go?

Hiya, Marv! Thanks for the great entry! I actually have every one of those songs you listed. Nearly all my money in the '60s & '70s went to music & concert tickets. Always kept a small amount for the rent, lol. I wonder not just where the time went, but where the melody went? When did it really quit being about the music & more about the artist. "Back in my day", the artist became popular because of the song. Now a song gets airplay because of who is doing it, whether or not it's any good. Gads, I sound like my parents. :P

Hey, Larry! I don't have your first request in my collection & the other two are still active acts, so I'm trying to stay away from anything that would have the Feds busting down my door. Of the artists on the Chicagoland Jukebox, I think Ramsey Lewis is the only one still performing (although a sort of reconstituted Buckinghams is touring). I'm trying to give people in other parts of the country/world a taste of the wonderful music that came out of our fair city. Their loss & our great memories. : )

You should add some Widespread Panic to the collection. Nice to see there are PSP users who can recognize good music when they hear it. Panic played Low Spark at the Sunday show at Red Rocks this year. As I was leaving Red Rocks after the Friday show I told my son the only cover I wanted the hear that they did not play was Low Spark. My timing was off and we are getting to old for three nights in a row anymore.

Hiya, James! Thanks so much for stopping by! Yes, High Heeled Boys is one of the overlooked gems from the '70s, although I do hear it once a year or so on the radio. Whatever I'm doing, I stop immediately so I can listen. Good thing it's never come on while I was driving on the freeway. :P
Truthfully, I had never heard of Widespread Panic, so don't have them in my collection. I quit listening to 'modern' radio about 1988 & can name maybe 5 songs since then. However, I was just to their site & while I haven't yet listened, reading what they are about is incentive enough to look into their catalogue. Any recommendations for a newbie?

Thanks for the recommendations, James! As soon as I get paid for two repairs (my "mad money"), I'll check them out!
Anonymous, I'm afraid I've never heard of the first & Ooh La La is one of those albums that apparently sprouted legs & took a walk down the street, since no one ever admitted to taking it. However, I can put up Stay With Me, from A Nod Is As Good As A Wink, if anyone is interested. I know it was 'the hit' & I try to put the non-hits up, but it's just so damn GOOD!

Really appreciate the Chicago oldies. There are so many that those stations would play that you don't hear anymore, espceially in other parts of the country. Remember "Young Birds Fly" by Cryan Shames? "Don't You Know" by Keith Everett? "Can't You See (That I Really Love Her)" by Flock? I really found it interesting that you mentioned WVFV. I worked there I guess it was starting late in 1972, my first real radio "gig". We must have just passed or at least I don't remember you (I think I would). Was Greg Brown there when you were? Greg Allan? Alan Kaye? Dave (Sears) Marshall? Ross Peckat? They played a lot of Styx, still a "local" band then. I remember one called "Unending Song" which was a favorite. And of course, they played "Lady" for months before it caught on nationally.

Hiya, Riverknight! Sorry for the tardy reply (all my replies seem to be tardy lately). Between a gazillion repairs thanks to the script kiddies being out of school for the summer & the cablenet being out for a few days, I haven't had much time to check in. I 'lived' at WVFV from June until the beginning of September 1972. The on-air staff were Neal Nelsen, Mike Berlak,Greg Brown & Dennis O'Reilly (nee' Brian Reilly). I think there was someone else, but it's a bit hazy. When I wasn't working (ever hear of Electro-netics in Carpentersville?), I could usually be found at the station. What the hey - there wasn't a whole lot to do in C'ville or the Dundees, or even Elgin for that matter. I didn't have a driver's license and that was about as far as my feet could carry me. Lucky for me, the guys were agreeable to my friends & I hanging around, too. It was probably pretty boring for them, too. Good choices on the cuts you listed - too bad I don't have them. One of these days I'm going to try one more time to clean up Hold On, I'm Coming by the Mauds. I'll see what else I can dig up from the Chicagoland vaults. While I have everything by the band Chicago, and some Styx, as well as others, I try to stick to the more obscure stuff & hope I don't get sued or shut down. :-P

Hi Peg: I was raised in Ann Arbor Michigan, and enjoyed the music of Teegarden and Van Winkle while in high school. For years I've tried to find their song "God, Love and Rock and Roll". Last night my son found it on your playlist. Cheezy as it sounds, tears streamed as I heard it for the first time in 37 years! Thank you and your website!

Hiya, Kate! I'm so glad you found "an old friend" here! You're the first person who's mentioned that song, in the almost 4 years I've had the jukeboxes up! I understand your reaction completely. I was the same when I first found Soul Coaxing & Soulful Strut through online stores. I heard them again for the first time since the late '60s & I burst out crying. Music is one thing I DO take seriously (semi-lol). Please visit often, you might find some songs you'd forgotten.

Hiya, Agent 070! Glad to see someone else has had a hankering for that song! It took me forever to find it, but find it I did! I'm curious if it's the same version you remember? In the version I remember, instead of strings & voices, there were horns playing the backup/background parts. While hunting this down years ago, I found out there was a version by "Sounds Orchestral", but have never been able to locate a clip to see if it's the one I remember. That's ok - I have a soft spot for late '60s pop instrumentals such as Soulful Strut, Love Is Blue & others. Thanks for leaving a note!

Being the vintage "Chicago Radio" junkie that I am and obviously you are, besides the GREAT old Chicago bands that you've posted which I love!! Why not try to find and post old radio clips and "Air Checks" from WLS and WCFL etc. in their "Glory Days" too. Like Larry Lujack, John "Records" Landecker, Clark Weber, Fred Winston, and Dick Biondi etc. etc.
P.S. My wife and I went and saw Ronnie Rice of "The New Colony Six" two weeks ago, he was great. In fact I even went up and sang with him too!!

I accidentally ran across your site a couple years ago or so. I remember the Viking kittens. If I remember right that one was your creation. Keep the Deep Purple on your hippie page. That's how I found your site this time. I see you have Traffic. My favorite Traffic song is Funk 49. Some Eagles would be good stuff if you can.

Pretty cool, DW! No, I'll leave it up. It's one of the more obscure tunes that I think needs an outlet so more people can discover it. I'll be uploading a few more obscurities in the next week or so, but Albatross stays. Feel free to send the link. :)
