WHY? Does this mean younger people & kids can't listen to this music and enjoy it too? Why would any station cut any potential age group?
What commercial Oldies radio should have been doing was 'passing the baton'. Keep this great genre alive and going by playing "Oldies For The Whole Family", not just for those who 'grew up with it'.

Before I post a song on my site, I check it at work. I quietly played a few bars of a 60's hit and to my surprise a "young" (32yo) coworker started singing it!! I despise the use of the word, "Oldie" because there is no real definition.

Internet radio killed a lot. Offered little "new" and "different". Happy 2016!

Anyway, this is and isn't a "song you grew up with". It is in abbreviated, edited form, but this is near 4.5 minutes long!! The Soul Survivors - Expressway (To Your Heart) 1968...
