It’s Thanksgiving Day, a time for the family to gather around the dinner table and reflect upon the things we’re most thankful for. If you’re a rock and roll fan, we think you’ll agree with this list of what we appreciate most this year…
We could never repay the happiness and joy the founders of rock brought; the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Elvis, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Holly – all who gave us the soundtrack of our lives.
We’re thankful that Berry Gordy threw down his boxing gloves and asked his uncle for an $800 loan to start Motown Records. Had Berry continued to struggle as a fighter, we would not heard the genius of Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, Temptations, Supremes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Mary Wells, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and/or Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5.
Finally, we’re thankful for Bob Seger, Murray Wilson (Beach Boys father), Led Zeppelin, The Four Seasons, The Bee Gees, and Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
Most of all, we’e thankful for our favorite radio station that plays oru favorite songs.
