<p><strong>Dennis Tufano was the original singer of The Buckinghams. In the 1960s this band had a string of hits that dominated the radio. “Kind Of A Drag”, “Don’t You Care”. “Mercy Mercy Mercy”, “Hey Baby They’re Playing Our Song” and “Susan” were a big part of the American response to the British Invasion. Dennis talks about that special time and all those hits, and we do a Songfest.</strong></p><p><strong>My featured song in this episode is “Cannonball” by The Robert Miller Group.
