Airdate: October 7, 1967 Brenton Wood’s biggest hit, “Gimme Little Sign”, hits #10 today and will peak at #9 next week. “I Had A Dream” peaked at #17 last week and falls to #44 today.

In the news this week in 1967, last Monday, Oct. 2 - Thurgood Marshall was sworn is as the first African-American Supreme Court Justice. In Sports, next Saturday, Oct. 14, the NBA’s newest franchise, The Chicago Bulls, played their first game (105-90 loss to the Celtics…Michael Jordan was 4 years old, lol) ___________ In 1967 two great songs made it to the top 10 with the word “Gimme” in the title. “Gimme Little Sign” and “Gimme Some Lovin’”. RIP Spencer Davis. In the U.S., please go VOTE and thank you for watching!
