Are you tough enough for this magical Monday musical Matinee lineup?
The number one song on this date September 14, 1989- was “Hangin Tough” by New Kids On The Block.
Yes, this is my childhood poster.
Do you remember the album artwork? Ron did! He immediately said they were on an 1940’s IRT subway train.
He was right. Looks like this Boston boy band was going to Coney Island.
We also have the number ones from 69 - “Sugar Sugar” and 79, “My Sharona.”
We return after a few weeks after Ron’s health issue, so I’m also calling this show Ron’s Royal Return.
It’s because we have some tributes we didn’t do from August, including the 16th, which was the day the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley died.
The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin also died that day.
So did Robert Johnson. In 1961 Columbia released an album of his work called “King of the Delta Blues Singers.”
The Queen of Pop, Madonna was born on the same day, August 16th.
We have a tribute to the Queen of Country, Dolly Parton, who passed August 25th.
And today would have been the birthday of the Queen Mother of Nashville Mae Axton. She cowrote Elvis’ “Heartbreak Hotel.”
