Might not have been a stiff, but anymore you just don't hear many of those great tunes, so they might as well be stiffs.
You're absolutely correct, again!
Terrestrial radio has forsaken many great songs (and many that have been forsaken charted in the top 20 or top 25.)
The only terrestrial station that I have heard any of Petula's songs on lately (other than "Downtown" and "I Know a Place") is an AM station that I can't receive here day or night due to a Cuban station on the same frequency, but if you're ever in the Villages (FL -about 48 miles n.e. of Orlando), WVLG - 640 does play this as well as many other songs, I've nearlly forgotten about; it's nice to listen to WVLG when I'm at my "second listening post" about 73 miles north of here and 30 miles south of The Villages.
drtFew more to add that were pretty big, but you hear a song by the group that is supposed to imply the song or something, because of whatever reasons - at least top 25 or so:
Baby I Love You - The Ronettes (you hear "Be My Baby" more than anything else when you get Ronettes)
Baby I Love You - Andy Kim (Right - you get "Rock Me Gently")
Walking In The Rain - The Ronettes as well (top 10)
Walking In The Rain - Jay & The Americans (top 20 even)
