Welcome to another edition of the Songs That Were Covers series on Rock and Roll Flashback podcasts! I'm Jumpin' John, and in this episode I will briefly review one song that had the unique distinction of, on two different occasions, reaching the #1 position on the US singles charts while being performed by two different non-American bands. That song is entitled "Venus"!

Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Bill Price, and in this episode of the Doo Wop series, we will focus on two groups from the late 1950's and early 1960's, The Classics and The Earls. Interestingly both groups had a hit that had two words in the song’s title, and also used the same second word, “Then”.

Welcome to another edition of Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and the story of my life revolves around the wonderful relationship that I had with my soul mate and the love of my life: Sally Lehman McDermott. Had I never met Sally, I would neither have enjoyed our fifty years together, nor the lives of our daughters or of our granddaughters. Music has the mysterious power to trigger deep emotions and re-awaken memories. The My Musical Memories series here on Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts explores the various ways that music was an integral part of my life with Sally. I'm calling today's podcast, Songs About Birds. It is Part 7 of the My Musical Memories series here on Rock and Roll Flashback podcasts.

During my first 21 years of life I was vaguely aware of birds and bird calls, but I never really paid close attention. However, that all changed on October 16th, 1971 when I met Sally Lehman. You see, Sally loved birds - and, as her best friend and partner, I naturally caught her bird fever! From that wonderful October evening onward, I learned quite a lot about birds from Sally - and also later from our daughter Molly and son-in-law Matthew.

So, in honor of Sally, this podcast is simply about nine popular rock songs whose titles and/or lyrics just happen to mention birds. My choice of songs is not meant to be a "best of" songs about birds. Rather, I have simply chosen nine songs that Sally and I happened to enjoy. The nine songs appear in chronological order by the year that they were released. I will briefly describe each song and then play the song in its entirety. So here goes…
