ETV Takes Musical Journey Back in Time with “My Music: The ’60s LIVE”
National Broadcast Airs Saturday, Sept. 13 at 8 p.m.
For Immediate Release
September 4, 2008
On Saturday, Sept. 13 at 8 p.m., ETV airs My Music: The ’60s LIVE. Hosted by funny-lady Vicki Lawrence from “The Carol Burnett Show” and Mike Farrell from “M*A*S*H,” the LIVE 3-hour-long celebration is a non-stop musical feast of folk-rock, rhythm and blues and pop classics that highlight the eternally hip years from 1965-1969.
The evening kicks into high gear with the New Rascals, and Roger McGuinn with his legendary folk-rock group The Byrds. The party rolls on with Eric Bourdon of The Animals, pop queen Petula Clark, and British rockers, The Zombies.
From the softer side of the ’60s, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. of the original Fifth Dimension join the festivities, along with The Association, reuniting to perform their million-selling classic “Never My Love.” Then, Blood, Sweat & Tears fuses pop with jazz on their golden great “You Made Me So Very Happy.”
For edgier baby boomers, the wallpaper-peeling psychedelic sounds of Vanilla Fudge thunder through the arena, while metal pioneers Iron Butterfly belt out the infamous “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vidda.” “Born to Be Wild,” the anthem of a generation that came of age in the late ’60s is a show-stopper, performed by legendary hard rockers Steppenwolf.
Co-hosted by the Smothers Brothers, Tommy and Dick Smothers, along with “Mama” Michelle Phillips, of The Mamas and the Papas, the program features cameo appearances by many fondly remembered ’60s icons, as well as timeless vintage performance clips by musical legends from the era including The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Miracles, rock protest singer Barry McGuire and more.
