What do you get when American Bandstand Meets The Mod Squad? You get a top quality, high energy, multi-decade, crazy hip and very cool show, that's what!

Remember When... Music Of The 50's, 60's and 70'stakes you on a chronological zig-zag through all the great music of the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies, ... simultaneously. Compare and contrast tunes as Jimmy weaves you thru the decades bouncing back and forth with hit after hit. You'll enjoy everything from Bobby Sox tunes and black leather jackets, great sixties songs including a few from the flower power and the psychedelic eras, plus many of the catchy memorable numbers of the Baby Boomers! Jimmy croons beautiful songs like Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me, Sha Boom Sha Boom and Stranger in Paradise and highlights the early 50's before Rock 'n Roll music even existed, but then moves on to greats from Hank Williams, Conway Twitty, Paul Anka and Sam Cooke just to name a few all the while contrasting with songs like Runaway by Del Shannon, Dion's Runaround Sue and The Wanderer, I Saw Her Standing There and Twist & Shout by The Beatles, Otis Redding's Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay and You've Lost ThaT Loving Feeling by The Righteous Brothers.

Things really heat up when Jimmy rocks out to great artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Bobby Darin, Chubby Checker, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and the Comets, and of course Elvis The King Presley! You'll hear Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild, a truly great Motown tribute medley including songs by The Four Tops, Ben E. King and My Girl by The Temptations, everyone's favorite, Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline, Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman and Vehicle by The Ides Of March plus many more. This show takes you thru some of the most musically expressive and innovative decades in history. Relive these memorable years as you go Cruisin', Swingin' and Groovin' through the 50's, 60's & 70's. You're sure to "dig it" you crazy hip daddy-O's. What a ride!
