2020's Greatest Clips

December 23, 2020 • various • Season 1 • Episode 28

After 33 episodes of RPM45, beginning in June, I thought it would be a cool year-end thing to share my favorite moments from those talks. You'll hear highlights from Judy Collins, Gino Vannelli, Gary Puckett, B.J. Thomas, Dave Mason and members of Air Supply, The Association, Blues Magoos, Brewer & Shipley, The Buckinghams, Cutting Crew, The Cyrkle, The Electric Prunes, Foghat, New Colony Six, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, The Standells, The Whispers, and Wild Cherry.

Our clips cover such topics as:

How they got started in music.
How groups got their names.
If they knew a hit was a hit (before it was a hit).
Their challenges getting paid for their chart success.
What fan appreciation means for them.
And more!

One more thing. In the episode, i refer to some YouTube videos. Here's where you'll find them:
