Coming up, it's a countdown of some of the greatest songs of the Rock Era from a year that is always in the conversation for the best year in music history. Including the #1 hit 96 Tears by a mysterious singer whose identity wasn’t known for decades. As well as Wild Thing, the song that was so bad the singer couldn’t stop laughing when he recorded it... and it became such a classic the writer Chip Taylor blew all the money in casinos and his habit got so bad he was kicked out of every major casino in Las Vegas. Then there was the song The Sound of Silence that flopped so badly that Simon & Garfunkel broke up. But then a producer remixed it, adding more instruments to it, and released it. The duo was livid till it hit #1. And then there’s the song California Dreamin' that a famous singer recorded. But he went scorched earth when he heard it on the radio, and his entire voice had been erased. We have legendary guests and stories on a special countdown coming up NEXT on Professor of Rock.
