Author: JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBTQIA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex, Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities October 19, 2025 Duration: 49:44

For this program, Rob and Mossy have chosen two seminal years in their lives. They discuss what happened back then and some of the songs that were trending. 1964 was a huge year for The Beatles. They toured Australia and secured the top six spots in Australia’s yearly chart. I Feel Fine was one of those songs and they also featured in 1969 with Get Back. The opening song for 1964 was the unusual The Girl from Ipanema performed by renowned saxophonist Stan Getz and American-Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto. Other big hits in 1964 were Barbra Streisand with People from the film Funny Girl and Dionne Warwick’s version of Anyone Who Had A Heart. 1969 saw Spiral Starecase soaring with their one hit wonder More Today Than Yesterday and Mama Cass with her solo hit It’s Getting Better. Australia was represented in 1964 by Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs’ popular cover Poison Ivy and in 1969 Ronnie Burns with Age of Consent.
