You can't do everything. So you essentially have to make some ‘bets,' for lack of a better word. What is going to have the biggest impact with your audience?Focus your energy and budget there, to make the biggest splash you can.OK, that's a boring way to say it. So I like how my next guest worded it in his podcast guest application – ‘If you're gonna be a bear, be a Grizzly.'To hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories from throughout his career, I sat down with Clinton Bonner, Vice President of Marketing, Launch by NTT Data (https://launch.nttdata.com/).Launch by NTT Data is owned by NTT, a publicly traded company. It most recently reported annual revenue of over 13 trillion Yen, roughly equal to $85 billion at current exchange rates.Bonner manages a team of 10 and a $5 million to $10 million marketing budget.

EPISODE 185The great thing about freelancing and owning your own business is that you have the freedom to create your work environment. Don't create a toxic one with people pleasing. Unsurprisingly, the topic of people pleasing is one that comes up often in conversation with my students and within in the masterclass. We all want our clients to be happy and sometimes feel the need to go above and beyond for them. But setting healthy boundaries and expectations, and then following them, actually improves your client relationships, helps you tame your people pleasing, and creates the best work environment for you.In this episode, we cover:-What are we, as podcast managers, trying to accomplish by people-pleasing?-Why saying ‘yes' to your client is not always the best approach-Setting boundaries and expectations in your freelance business-Being clear with yourself and your clients and upholding boundaries-3 actions to take to tame your people pleasing-How to create time to consider your clients requests instead of responding with instant reactions without saying ‘no'-The freedom of creating your own working environment as a freelancer and business ownerIf you want to chat more about this topic, I would love to continue this conversation with you, over on Instagram! @laurenwrightonTo learn how to earn $5k per month as a podcast manager (without taking on a million clients!) grab a seat in our free masterclass at http://laurenwrighton.com/masterclassSHOW NOTES: https://laurenwrighton.com/episode185

This week's question comes from Joey on the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group. Joey is asking: Was driving in a new part of town and came across a house that had a yard that hasn't been maintained in months and the house looks unkept. Any suggestions on how I should go about finding the owner and asking if they would be interested in selling? We had a ton of great responses in the Facebook group, but Ashley and Tony will do their best to answer based on their own experience and their preferred style of skip tracing. You can do this both for free or for a fee, it all depends on which information you need!Here are some suggestions:Look up your city's GIS mapping website and find the owners on the title You can also use Propstream to skip trace the owners for a small feeReach out to neighbors and ask them if they know anything about the ownerIf the owner is an LLC, go to your Secretary of State's website to look up the LLC owner And more in the episode…If you want Ashley and Tony to answer a real estate question, you can post in the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group!

This week's episode is a LITTLE bit different from my previous episodes of my podcast. Since Episode one of my show, EVERY single song I have covered has been a tune from the 60's, but as most of you should know by now, I write my own music and ALL of my music is influenced by stuff from the 60's, and since I"m noticing a lot of my podcast listeners aren't listening to my own music, I figured you guys should ABSOLUTELY check out my stuff, and what better way to do that then to cover one of my songs for my podcast, so this is going to be REALLY cool because you guys are going to get my perspective on my songwriting process and my influences as a musician and producer, so since I"m not doing a 60's song this week, I'm going to be brief about the history behind this song and instead, I"m going to tell the story of what inspired me to write this song and how I constructed it structurally and what were my specific influences as far as production and arrangements for this song when I was recording it. here's the link to this week's song just in case you guys wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMa6217J4k8&list=OLAK5uy_k0YYDbR5EmoY4EpzXve0SUgpGqAiqUBGI&index=4You can also follow me on Instagram for updates on my music & other stuff right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/Here's where you can check out more of my original music:https://www.samwilliamsmusic.netPLEASE do check out my EP that came out on Memorial Day Weekend where you can find more of my original music, and here is where you'll be able to listen to the full length song that I wrote that I covered this week, plus some other REALLY good ones that I'll cover in future episodes of this podcast, please do let me know whatcha think of these songs and you can email me at samltwilli@icloud.com, you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/samlwilliams/turquoise-apricotwould love it if you could also check out my most recent features in ShoutoutLA magazine and Honk Magazine, here you'll be able to read more about me as a songwriter and musician and hear more about me in general, after reading these and if you found out some REALLY cool stuff about me and would like to meet me in person and your based in LA (And if your a real person, of course) please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://honkmagazine.com/sam-l-williams-talks-about-his-career-path-influence-and-new-music/https://shoutoutla.com/meet-sam-l-williams-musician-songwriter-podcast-host/Please do also check out the official Spotify and Youtube playlists for this podcast, here you'll be able to find all of the songs that I have talked about on my podcast including some of the ones that I have mentioned in interview episodes of this show, if you listened to these playlists and it gives you some ideas for the kind of songs I should talk about next on my podcast (or you listened to my music and want to suggest another song of mine I should next on my show), please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com, you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=7e2c1c10c39544d1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7NfI would also LOVE IT if you could check out the official Redbubble Merch store for this podcast, there you'll be able to find these super cool merch items for this podcast with a logo that is specific to this podcast, and if you would like to give me feedback on the logo for this podcast, or the prices of each item in this store, you can email me at samltwilli@icloud.com, or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you enjoyed my analysis on one of my songs and you fell in love with this song of mine, and you have never heard it before, and if you loved hearing about my songwriting process and you like this song and the genre it's and your around my age, and you would like to hear me do the same thing again with another one of my songs for a future episode of this podcast, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com, you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies.

this week as per usual I'll get into the history behind last week's song & artist and talk about exactly who was this band & if they were real or fake, and I also talk about some of the transitions Nashville went through in the city in the mid 60's compared to where they were in the late 50's early 60's and what they tried to do to keep up with the times. but I also go in depth as to the behind the scenes details on the album last week's song was recorded on (as far as the studios it was recorded in). and I also mention a really cool fact about the co writer of this song that ties in with what is considered by most people the greatest band of all time. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p2f9eCvznY&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7Nf&index=109You can also follow me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/You can also check out more of my original music right here:https://www.samwilliamsmusic.netPlease do also check out my recent interview I did with Honk Magazine, I really poured my heart & soul into this interview and you will know so much more about me after reading it. here's the link to that right here:https://honkmagazine.com/sam-l-williams-talks-about-his-career-path-influence-and-new-music/Please do also check out my three singles that are out right now, they are all different stylistically but they still fall under the umbrella of the 60's with a little bit of today's flavor mixed in there I also produced these songs and played most of the instruments on them, so please do check them out and lmk whatcha think of them, and you can do that by emailing me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/samlwilliams/keep-her-in-my-back-pockethttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/samlwilliams/turquoise-apricot--she-said-noAlso check out the official Spotify and Youtube playlists for this podcast. there you'll be able to find all of the songs that I have talked about on my podcast plus some of the ones that I have mentioned in interview episodes of my show. if you liked any of these songs and would want to suggest some new songs I should talk about next on my podcast that I haven't yet, please send those suggestions to me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also message me on Instagram @iheartoldies. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=zuepns7jS928bq2ndaDMJQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7NfPlease do also check out the official Redbubble Merch Store for this podcast. there you'll be able to find this super cool merch items with my own custom logo specifically for this podcast. if you like the logo and find it cool and you would like to give me some feedback on the logo plus the prices of each item in the store, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies and you can also reach out to me on my website samwilliamsmusic.net: https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you found out some really cool facts & information about this week's song & artist and you have never heard of them before and you were fascinated by this group's history and your a millennial, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com
This week's episode is on one of my all time FAVORITE 60's sort of deep tracks, this song did not get very high up charts nor did it stay on the charts for very long, but it's probably one of the best tracks from the 60's where you can clearly see how much a huge 60's band influenced another group that was having a few hits at that time. and as per usual, I dive into what makes this song so great both musically and lyrically, a change up from last week because last week I did my first song from the 60's I don't like, so now I'm reeling it back in and doing another song from the 60's that I love, and here's the link to it just in case you wanted to listen to it. next week I'll go over the history behind this group and whether or not they were a real group or not:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvJbdr63owgHere's where you can find me on Instagram, please follow me and get in touch with me here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/please do also check out my latest interview I did with this really cool publication.

Hey Guys! So I know it's been a while since I have last uploaded an episode of my podcast, and it's because I unintentionally took a break from doing this podcast, primarily because I was torn as to what I should do about my hosting service situation. you see, I was going to move my podcast entirely to Anchor, but then I realized that I would loose all of my information in regards to my analytics for my podcast, so all of the listeners I have built up since starting this podcast originally would be lost and I would have to start from zero all over again. So with that being said, I decided to stay with the one I was with, and I was able to upgrade to one of their paid plans so I won't get kicked out of their system and risk my account getting terminated. So as of this week, I am back on my podcast and will continue to put out episodes without any real disruptions from this moment on. I apologize if you guys were expecting another episode from me the week after the last one I put out and you guys didn't hear from me, well, that's pretty much why. But anyways, I'm back! and this week, I'm doing something kind of special/unique with my podcast that I haven't done before. I'm covering an song from the 60's that I don't really like at all, and in this episode, I talk about why I'm not such a huge fan of it and why you may agree with me or disagree with me on my take of this song. I'm doing this to primarily show you guys that there was both good and bad music that was huge in the 60's, as with every decade of music really. Now you may totally disagree with me and you might actually like this song, and that's ok, but definitely let me know if you feel the same way I do about this song or not, and just in case you don't know what song I"m talking about, here's the link to it just in case you wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzjfGF6MiUYou can also follow me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/Also, MAJOR update for you guys since I have been gone for 3 weeks now, I have a new single out! Yes. You can Now stream Keep Her In My Back Pocket on all of the music streaming platforms. Would love it if you guys could listen to this one! it's not really like my other two singles, it's different both stylistically and lyrically too, but it still has a good mix of the retro 60's sound with a little bit of today's flavor. I produced this one and played all of the instruments on it, and if you like it, please let me know by emailing me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies, and here's the link to where you can stream it:https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/samlwilliams/keep-her-in-my-back-pocketAlso, Don't forget to also check out the last two singles I put out too. the entire EP will come out in May.

If you missed last week's episode for some weird reason. today to hopefully bring you guys back to those who aren't actively listening to my podcast at this moment in time when your lives might be getting busier because people are back to work with cases going down,I bring to you a VERY Special Episode of my podcast. I sometimes do interview episodes of my show where I talk to an original member of either a 60's band or someone who was a studio musician, songwriter, engineer, someone who was there and someone who may not be a well known household name, but someone who was arguably one of the most important movers and shakers in the record business back in the 60's, and I have them on so they can tell the stories behind their hit songs and they can unveil to you some little known facts about their music to you and they can share their story which will live on the internet forever with this podcast long after they die. and last weekend, I had THE EXTREME HONOR to talk to an original member of arguably one of THEE GREATEST 60's bands that ever graced AM radio at that time, and one that was absolutely JUST AS GOOD, if not better then The Beatles. I was LITERALLY on cloud nine getting to talk to him, and he had such a great time talking to me and he was gracious enough to share with me the story behind his band, and BOY DID I LEARN SO MUCH about his band from listening to him talk. And if your a Millennial tuning into this and don't know anything about the band this guy was in, they were called the Lovin Spoonful and they were FANTASTIC as a group and they burst on to the Pop Music Scene when it felt like Popular Music was reaching it's zenith with Folk Rock becoming huge and Motown on top of their game and the NY producers & engineers trying to copy that sound, and of course , the British Invasion was in full swing at that time as well, and they had SUCH A GREAT SOUND that was the perfect blend of Folk, Blues & Pop Rock.You might know some of their songs such as "Do You Believe In Magic" or "Summer In The City", well if you do, your in for a real treat because I'm gonna talk to an original member of the band that did all of those songs and he also played keys & bass on all of them and co wrote some of their hits as well such as "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" and "Summer In The City" without further or do I present to you the 11th interview episode of my podcast, the one and only Mr Steve Boone. if you are lost in this episode and don't know any of the songs we are talking about, I will put in them into the two playlists I have for this podcast and here are the links to them so you can listen to these songs and go back and listen to this interview so you can fully comprehend what we are talking about in this interview episode of this podcast:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnbfuAcCqpYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIM579H-f7Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfqwx7pMsqshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt5Jy983uTEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRTkqGSKTtshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txTEhgReZUAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7ofnHmxE-Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqi7Fv6VFjwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq4J9KyJb4shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZqgFyj5uTohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9gKcb2DSb8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVz5Uc8dyfchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAur4CWJIPwYou can also follow me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/You can also check out more of my original music right here:https://www.samwilliamsmusic.netPlease do also check out my two song single out now, it's under my new stage name Sam L Williams and the songs are called Turquoise Apricot and She Said No. Here's the link to where you can stream the two songs on some of the streaming platforms it's on currently. please let me know what do you think of these songs after you have listened to them. you can email me what do you think of them at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also follow me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/samlwilliams/turquoise-apricot--she-said-noPlease do also check out the official Spotify and Youtube Playlists for this podcast, there you'll be able to find all of the songs I have talked about in previous podcast episodes of this show including some of the ones I have talked about in interview episodes of my podcast including this one. if you liked these songs after listening to these playlists and if it gives you some ideas for the kind of songs I should talk about next on my podcast that I haven't yet, please email those ideas to me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=Ej6X4EZCRGGRsasYDswUZghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7NfPlease do also check out the official Redbubble Merch store for this podcast. there you'll be able to find my own custom merch for this podcast with my own logo that is specific to my podcast with the catchphrase I say at the end of every episode of my podcast with the name of my podcast on the bottom all in really cool "Keep On Trucking" Tie Dye Font. if you liked this logo and would like to purchase something from this store or if you have some basic feedback for this logo and the prices of each item for this store, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies: https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you REALLY enjoyed this interview episode of this podcast and your a millennial and you didn't know ANYTHING about this band and you found out some REALLY cool and interesting pieces of info about this band that you didn't already know and your around my age, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies.
hey guys, sorry if this episode is coming at ya a little bit late, was trying to figure out how to follow up the episode I did a few weeks ago on both She & Him & Phil Spector, and the original plan was the do both a history lesson on both of those musical people and combine them into one episode, but then I realized that that might be a little too much for this podcast, and I didn't want to try to cram everything into one episode and have to cut down what i want to talk about in regards to Phil Spector with you guys, and also I don't want to loose you if the episode is just too long for you to consume, so the initial plan now is that I"m going to do a three part episode. This part is essentially about the history behind She & Him and forgive me if there are some holes within their history and if I'm looking stuff up about them, I don't know that much about them other then what's readily available online in regards to their history, I mean in a perfect world, I would interview Zooey and ask her a bunch of questions about her musical history with her duet Partner Matt, but she is unfortunately too much of a high level celebrity for me to get too so It doesn't look like it's possible for me to get too that easily. And Plus, she's mainly known as an actress, so she hasn't been interviewed or talked too much about her musical side to herself, so I'm only pretty much going off of what I have read in regards to the interviews that were conducted by her musical partner Matthew Ward, but I hope this episode enlightens you with a different side to Zooey that you might not know about, and next week will be a deep dive into the history of Phil Spector & the Crystals and that whole thing. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdJbqGeYM6Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf_fxswodiQYou can also follow me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/You can also check out more of my original music right here:https://www.samwilliamsmusic.netPlease do also listen to my two song single as well, I worked very hard on these two songs and you will see a different side to myself which includes me as a musician as well as a songwriter. please go check them out, here's the link to where you can listen on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon, and Deezer: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/details/?id=7552EC53-8721-4513-B9FAF0ACB4925946Please do also check out the Official Spotify and Youtube playlists for this Podcast. there you'll be able to find all of the songs I have talked about on my podcast including some of the ones I have mentioned in interview episodes, if you found some really cool songs on this playlists and have some suggestions for some songs I should talk about next on my podcast that I haven't yet, please send those to me a samltwilli@icloud.com or you can reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=MA7S-RLWTmKejILv7MA3oghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7NfPlease do also check out the Official Redbubble Merch store for this podcast and there you'll be able to find all of these really cool Merch items that have my own personal logo attached for this podcast, and if you like the logo and would like to purchase something from this store, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or reach out to me On Instagram @iheartoldies: https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you found out some really cool and interesting facts about She & Him & Zooey Deschanel and you never knew this side to Zooey and only know her actress side to herself and your a millennial and your around my age, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies.
This week's episode is PRETTY FREAKING LONG so I commend you for listening to the whole thing. I mean I know it's almost two hours long but I figured if you guys find the info in this episode interesting, you will listen to the whole thing, but I really do appreciate you if your able to get through this entire podcast episode. and it's worth listening to the whole thing, because I talk about SO MUCH things in this podcast and you'll learn so much about the New York Recording scene in the 60's from listening to this podcast as I had a lot to unpack about this scene since I haven't done much of a deep dive with it really. so you'll learn a lot about it from listening to this episode. trust me. you will. You'll also learn about the Girl Group Pop genre and how it might have influenced one of the greatest bands of all time.

Happy New Year Guys! I'm back this week to talk about a genre of music that I have been waiting for a VERY long time to do, but I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

I think 2021 will be a much better year for a whole lot of people and as far as this podcast is concerned, it's really onward and upward for me but next year I'll do my best to bring you guys more exciting and great guests related to 60's music and I hope you guys will enjoy the new and upcoming things related to my podcast such as my new original music coming out on the first official week of 2021 and my really cool 60's music virtual exhibit at the Grammy Museum that will more then likely also happen next year as well.

I'm ok still going to be committed to doing this podcast because you guys continue to listen to it every week and for that, I thank you. if it wasn't for you this podcast probably wouldn't have lasted past episode one or two for me. but anyways, this week I"m going to be doing a deep dive on the Seekers History and talk about the group and why they didn't have as much massive commercial success as other British Invasion groups did and what made them so unique and the cool connections this group had with other artists and bands you'll definitely be familiar with. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QISuv4qoJYMYou can also reach out to me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/here's the official Spotify pre-save link for my upcoming two song single coming out on Jan 8th.

This week's episode I believe will be the second to last one before the end of 2020, so I hope this one finds you guys well. as per usual with this podcast, i go down a COMPLETE 180 turn from last week's artist and song I did last week and talk about a COMPLETELY Different band/artist from last week, and into a COMPLETELY different genre as well. This week I do a half female/half guy group (my first one in a while) but they were GREAT! and they specialized in a VERY specific genre of music that is still very prevalent today. and boy, do they sound GREAT! I love their music and I hope you guys too, but if you've never heard of this band before and your around my age and your wondering "why should I care"? well, next week, I'll talk about the history behind them and I will show you that they have some solid connections to bands & artists you DEFINITELY will be familiar with. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QISuv4qoJYMYou can also follow me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/You can also check out more of my original music right here:https://www.samwilliamsmusic.nethere is the official Spotify pre-save link for my upcoming two song single coming out this Friday.

This week's episode is going to be all about a Classic Blue Eyed Soul record from the 60's and one that was used in the recent Quinton Tarantino Movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and one that is pretty iconic! this song has a really cool and coy vibe about it and it's very sexy but not super complicated as far as it's chord progression is concerned but it's VERY sexually suggestive. I would NOT listen to this podcast if your someone that is under the age of 18 or if your a kid or a young teenager. next week's episode will be all about the history behind this song and artist and the city this song was recorded in plus the interesting thing about the time this song was out and on Top 40 radio. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixQFjy6crAUYou Can also Follow Me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/PLEASE do also check out my NEW and IMPROVED website which has ALL of the episodes of my podcast you can stream on there PLUS a bunch of OTHER really cool stuff! would love it if you could check it out and lmk whatcha think of my new website! you can email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies:https://www.samwilliamsmusic.netPlease do ALSO check out the official Spotify and Youtube Playlists for my podcast. there you'll be able to find ALL Of the songs I talk about on my podcast INCLUDING some ons I have mentioned in interview episodes I have done in the past.

I'm sorry if this week's episode is coming atcha a little bit late, the quarantine has lately made me feel very distracted and it's been harder for me to get stuff done (I recently got back into watching Classic TV shows from the 60's, and I also have been playing video games again, all of this is due to the lack of social in human interaction I've been experiencing lately, but I know I'm not the only one who's been like that lately). but my schedule has definitely been all over the place lately, but don't worry, I will continue to put out these podcast episodes whenever I can and I promise I won't leave you hanging. this week is all about Motown and in this podcast I offer some very insightful facts about the label and their history and I also talk about the history behind last week's song and artist. this week's episode is also incredibly long, and again, I"m sorry if this episode was too long for you, but the history behind Motown and exactly how in depth they were is quit astonishing and I tried to cover as many aspects of it as I could. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZFvlum63TkYou can also follow me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/Please do also check out the official Spotify and Youtube playlists for this podcast, there you'll be able to find all of the songs I have talked about on my podcast so far including some of the ones I have mentioned in interview episodes, and if this gives you any ideas for what kind of songs I should talk about next on my podcast that I haven't yet, you can email those ideas to me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also email those ideas to me at samltwilli@icloud.com: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=gEkSOm2-Ti-Wy-dSE7APbghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7NfPlease do also check out the official Redbubble Merch store for this podcast, there you'll be able to find this super cool logo that I personally didn't design but I came up with the idea for the design for myself, and if you like it, I would love it if you could purchase something from the store! if you do decide to do that, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies, and if you don't want to purchase something, I would love it if you could please let me know what you think of the logo itself plus the prices of each item in the store and you can reach out to me on the same IG handle and or email address: https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you found out some really cool and interesting facts about this week's podcast episode and you never knew anything about Motown or the group that recorded the song or the guy who wrote and produced the song, you can email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies.
I decided to keep the the Black Lives Matter theme going for my podcast this week, and throughout he 2 years I've been doing this show, I have covered many facets of Black R&B Music in the 60's, from cities such as Chicago and Philadelphia and Memphis, but slightly on purpose, I have avoided talking about or doing an episode on Motown, until now. And the main reason why I have avoided talking about the label on my podcast is because the history of Motown is pretty much already covered in current Rock and Roll Music history podcasts I'm in direct competition in, but at the same time, I have realized it would be difficult to honor the black songwriters and producers of the 60's without making a single mention of them. But, I feel like there are many great songs that came out of this label that hardly anybody in my age group knows about, so today's episode is on a Motown song but one you wouldn't really expect (it's a song you probably don't know but you'll DEFINITELY know who wrote the song and produced it). So next week I'll go pretty in depth with their history but also offering some little known tidbits about them most people probably don't know. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT_1mBc_GjwYou Can also follow me On Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/Please do also check out the official Spotify and Youtube playlists for this podcast, there you'll be able to find all of the songs I talk about on my podcast (including some of the ones I mention in interview episodes of my show) if checking out these playlists gives you any ideas for what kind of songs I should talk about on my podcast next, you can email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=-rGKsTtcRFeb8GAnsl2CKwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7NfPlease do check out the official Redbubble Merch Store for this podcast. there you'll be able to find this super cool logo that's attached to a bunch of different merch items. you can check those out and I would appreciate it if you could please purchase something from the store and if you do, please let me know at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies and let me know which item you got and what about the show do you like and also, if you can't buy anything for whatever reason, please let me know what you think of the logo itself and the prices of each item in the store at the same email address or on my Instagram:https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you liked my analysis on this week's song and you've never heard it before and are anxious to hear more about the artist and the song, and the guy that wrote it and produced it, you can email me at samltwilli@icloud.com

this week's episode to switch things up from doing the super obscure one hit wonders, I'm going to do something different that I haven't done before for the first episode of my podcast in 2020. I'm going to do a song that was by a huge iconic 60's band (that wasn't the Beatles) that never made the Top 40 Nationally. this song originally bubbled under the Hot 100 on Billboard which basically makes it a non hit song but in this episode I'm going to talk to you about why I think this song should have been a much bigger hit and just how amazing this song is despite the fact that it was never a Top 40 hit nationally. Next week I'll get in depth the history behind this band and how they were formed and what not. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to-RVV_3anwYou Can Also Follow Me On Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/You Can Also Check Out More Of My Original Music Right Here:http://www.samwilliamsmusic.netWould love it if you could also check out the official Spotify and Youtube Playlists for this podcast. there you'll be able to find all of the songs I have covered on this podcast including songs that I have mentioned in some of the interviews that I have done on this show.

Today's episode of my podcast is a interview Episode with somebody a little different then what I normally do for my podcast. the guy I'm interviewing today isn't necessarily a songwriter or producer from that era per say but he has worked with legendary songwriters and producers from the 60's and was in a duo with somebody that made music that even though it was recorded in the late 70's very much had that early to mid 60's sound as far as production and arrangement is concerned. He also is the current bandleader for a guy who is world renown for his cartoon voice over work, and on the side, he also has his own band where he does loads of 60's tunes in it. A lot of the songs I talk about in today's interview episode are songs I will talk about in future episodes of this podcast, so a lot of them won't be added to the official Spotify playlist for the podcast because I don't really want to add the same songs twice when I will be covering them again in future episodes of my show, but for now, just in case you had no idea what we were talking about in regarding the specific songs and artists we were talking about in this episode, here are the links to some of the songs we talked about in today'e episode:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTIaRZYdGJohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTIaRZYdGJohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuw8GJbqx94https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Mtz-rDD2Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYPIVqtPoDwYou Can Also Follow Me On Instagram Right Here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/You Can Also Check Out More of My original Music right here:http://www.samwilliamsmusic.netPlease do follow Tom Kenny's Official Instagram account for his band as well to keep updated on his band as well:https://www.instagram.com/tomkennyandthehiseas/Please do also check out the official Spotify playlist for this podcast. you might not find a lot of the songs I talk about in today's interview episode on there because these will be songs I'll be covering in future episodes with just me so once I do that I'll add them on to the playlist because I don't see the point in adding the same songs onto the same playlist twice.

This week's episode will be a special feature on an artist that was used in a recent movie that takes place in the 60's that I saw last week that I thoroughly enjoyed. This week's episode will be both parts of my show all in one episode (my opinion and the history behind the track) because there is a chance the next special guest episode will happen next week. if it does you will get a notification on your phone letting you know whether or not next week's episode will be the special guest episode.. but anyways, this particular song and artist is extremely interesting, and in this episode, I talk about what makes them so interesting and what makes this song so good.

in This week's episode, I talk about the crazy story behind last week's song. now last week's song might have been a one hit wonder, but it definitely has a long and interesting story behind it. Everything from the events that might have inspired the song to who actually originally wrote it and the story behind the song's famous recording session and what happened after the song was originally recorded and released. I also mention how this song has been able to live a life of it's own when it was covered by a band about 3 decades after it was originally released and they turned the song into a hit all over again and by doing that, they introduced the song to a whole new generation of people who may have never heard the song when it originally came out in the 60's.

in this week's episode on the 60th episode of this podcast I have a very very special guest on to my podcast. to say he's a living legend is an understatement, but that definitely does not undermine his incredible resume as a producer/engineer in the 60's. but he is definitely a very interesting musical person from this era and in this week's episode I talk about his amazing career and the bands that he has worked with in the past. Topics in this interview include how he became one of the first American Producers to move from America to the UK to produce over there and the behind the scenes details on the records that he produced back int he 60's all the way up to what he is currently up to right now in 2019. it is an honor to have him as a guest on my podcast and I feel very fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to talk to him on my show. here are the songs that we talk about on the show just in case you wanted to listen to them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTTsY-oz6Gohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRipFYoji2Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvD0_aeAf2Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSowZcvoqr4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkBvsBpgGbohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYIl6n_SRCIYou can also follow me and reach out to me On Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/You can also check out more of my original music right here:http://www.samwilliamsmusic.netDon't forge to also check out the official Spotify playlist for this podcast as well, and if it gives you any ideas as to which songs i should cover next on my podcast please shoot them my way!:https://open.spotify.com/user/1283678791/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=cUqWTE_BTsGrW26lfYtwAAAlso please do check out my really cool official podcast Merch store. on there I have several different items at various different prices so please don't hesitate and check it out and if you really would like to show my support for my podcast you can also purchase something from my store in which I would really appreciate that. https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you really enjoyed this interview and you found it interesting or if there's any questions that you wish I could have asked him but I didn't, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can also reach out to me on Instagram: @iheartoldies.
today's episode is focused on a track from the early 60's, and today I break the song down and show you guys what makes the song super good as far as the lyrics and the overall energy of the track (I also show you what makes the song super relatable today even though the song is almost 60 years old), and I also talk about the history behind the track including the behind the scenes details on the recording session of the song including the musicians, the backup singers, and the recording studio the song was recorded at as well. I also go into a little bit on the history behind the time period this song was recorded in (the early 60's) I will go into more detail on that in another episode of this podcast as well.

This week's episode of my podcast is going to be on one of my all time favorite one hit wonders, one that is so lyrically clever and interesting and complex and it's also one of the catchiest upbeat and danceable songs of this era. it's one of the few hit pop songs that draws comparison to the classic William Shakespeare play of Romeo and Juliet.This song also has ties to one of the commercially successful and biggest record labels of the 60's and beyond. Also I'm prepping for my next interview episode which will happen the week after next wee so to get you guys ready for that I"m going to do some vocal group related songs to lead in to the next person I'm interviewing who was a member of a 60's vocal group, so this episode and the next episode are going to be on vocal groups from the 60's, here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX1-e0w3mUwYou can Also Follow me and reach out to me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/You Can Also check out more of my original music right here:http://www.samwilliamsmusic.netAlso don't forget to check out my Redbubble Merch Store for my podcast and let me know if you decide to purchase something from it (email me with a picture of what you bought and send it to me with a few sentences of how much you love my podcast, you can do that by email at samltwilli@icloud.com or you can DM me it at iheartoldies)https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you liked my analysis on this week's song and I turned you on to a brand new song and artist that you've never heard of before and you learned some interesting things about them that you originally had no clue about until you listened to this episode, you can reach out to me on instagram at iheartoldies or email me at samltwilli@icloud.com.

This Week's Podcast Episode instead of doing my usual song arrangement breakdown and history lesson, I"m gonna be talking to an original member of a legendary 60's Psychedelic Rock band, he was the co writer of Incense and Peppermints and he also played keyboards on the track, and his best friend and co writer of the song (who was also a member of Strawberry Alarm Clock) later went on to become an original member of a very well known classic Rock band from the 70's. the interview talks about the brutal realities of the music business and how he was dealt with a shitty hand in terms of getting paid for the number one hit he had with the band and in the interview, he talks about how the band was formed and also how they got their name and who was the DJ that helped make Incense and Peppermints a huge number one hit and he also talked about what inspired him to write the follow up hits to Incense and Peppermints and how and why the band doesn't tour to this day and how they are still able to play some local shows in the Los Angeles Area and his insights on songwriting and being in music in general. Now before you listen to this podcast episode, I would absolutely listen to this band's most well known songs so that way you have a good idea for what I talk about with in in this interview. here are the youtube links to their most well known songs and also, I have officially started my own online merch store for this podcast and in this description I will also post a link to this description of this week's episode. the logo that is attached to my podcast merchandise is the catchphrase I say at the end of every episode ("Keep Things Groovy") in Keep on Trucking Tie Dye Colored Font on a black background with the name of my podcast on the bottom. here are the links to the Strawberry Alarm Clock's songs please listen to them before you listen to this episode: Incense and Peppermints:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RghL1rViX34Tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ9jyKbsL7ASitting With the Guru:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfB70r9DrHEHere is there link to their Facebook page just in case you wanted to follow them on Social Media:https://www.facebook.com/thestrawberryalarmclock/and here's their official website link: https://strawberryalarmclock.comand as always you can also follow me on Instagram right here:https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/and here's where you can check out more of my original music:http://www.samwilliamsmusic.netand here is my online Merch store for this podcast, I would appreciate any feedback regarding my store including how does the logo look and how affordable are the merchandise items. if you decide to purchase something from this store, email me at samltwilli@icloud.com and let me know when you do that and send me a picture of your item once you get it in the mail and also in the email tell me how much you love my podcast and one really cool artist that you got turned on to from listening to it and one really cool piece of information that you learned from listening to this podcast. here is the official Redbubble Store link:https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-ownerIf you enjoyed this interview and you learned a lot of cool facts about the Strawberry Alarm Clock that you never knew about them and you got turned on to their music and you've never heard of them or heard their stuff before, please email me at samltwilli@icloud.com also, let me know if you would want me to do more interviews.
