I’m probably one of the few 20-somethings that listen to AM radio.  With the exception of a few stations, the AM band in general is dying I think, like most of its listeners.  I listen because I love the rare oldies that are played on these stations, such as jazz, soul, crooners, etc.  When I’m driving, I like to pretend I’m in the 1960s in a swank old car.  Then I jump back into reality telling myself that I wouldn’t have had the rights or opportunities or choices like I have today.

I’ll often mention some of these songs to older people I know, like coworkers and they’ll be like “You’re too young to know about that song/artist.” Probably so.  One recent old song I’ve discovered is by Ruby and the Romantics called “Our Day Will Come.”  Apparently, it was a one-hit wonder for the group in 1963.  The quick internet search info I gathered on the group pretty much said something along the lines that Ruby is the only one in the group still alive and that all of they guys she sang with passed away.  The song was eventually remade by Frankie Valli and others.

The title alone makes me wonder if I (or as some of you readers can relate – “we”) will ever have our day so to speak.  Our day in love, or at least in really like.
