KXEL@80–1969

The Year Was 1969–on the pop music charts, “Sugar Sugar” by the Archies, “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” by Marvin Gaye and “Aquarius” by the Fifth Dimension…movies premiering included “True Grit” (for which Iowa native John Wayne won a Best Actor Oscar), “Hello Dolly” and “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid”…television shows premiering included “Love, American Style” and “The Brady Bunch”…and in the news, Richard Nixon took the oath of office as President, the “Miracle Mets” won baseball’s World Series, the Woodstock music festival was held, and NASA astronauts were first to set foot on the moon.
