The Wednesday Forgotten Oldie
Every Wednesday around 7:30 AM listen to Eagle 102.7 for the "Forgotten Oldie". Today, I'm featuring one of the 60's USA bands that shaped the sound of rock in San Francisco... and yet they receive virtually no credit for it. THE MOJO MEN were born as a British Invasion cover band, but when female drummer/singer Jan Ashton joined, the band moved to a more intricate, psychedelic sound that was highlighted by vocal harmonies. Their only top-40 hit was "Sit Down I Think I Love You", a song written by Stephen Stills and originally recorded by Buffalo Springfield for their first album. The Mojo Men version of the song came out in March of 1967 and stayed in the top 40 for several weeks.
