A Look Back With Doug

Today is Labor Day and thought we could look back on this Labor Day with the Working Man from Rush. Enough said today, now let Rush do the talking. Happy Labor Day.  

There are a lot of great gospel songs and rock songs about the Good Lord and religion. So today on this Sunday, let's travel back to 1969 to Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky. This song made it to #3 in the United States Billboard charts, but is considered one of the great one-hit wonders of the 1960s. The s...

I have had this song stuck in my head for awhile today and it's M.C. Hammer's 'Pray' song that was recorded in 1989, but didn't get officially released until 1990.  Pray may not have had the most variety of words, but it brought home a message of hope and well prayer. ...

Today's Look Back With Doug is a sad day in history that happened on March 18, 1982. This was the day Teddy Pendergass was paralyzed after a car crash that happened in Philadelphia. When Denny Perkins did the Lost 70s at 7 is when I became more familiar with the works of Teddy Pendergrass and learned he was the lead singer of Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes. Yo...

Today (Feb. 21), marks the anniversary of the death of Tom Glazer, when he died in 2003. You probably remember Tom Glazer best for the song 'On Top of Spaghetti' that is hard to believe came out in 1963. I grew up eating a lot of pasta, with half of my ancestry from Sicily. I c...

It is a little known fact that I had a bowling scholarship that I used for college, when I went to Central Missouri State University in 1996. I earned it for the years that I put into bowling at Whiteman Air Force Base. I wasn't a great bowler by any means, but pretty decent for being on the Traveler's Team...

92.3 Bob-FM is the home of the 80s, 90s and Whatever and today's Look Back definitely fits under the category of Whatever, but deals with my childhood. When I was a kid, one of my favorite movies was 'Beetlejuice' and the movie was full of fun and laughter...

It is no big secret that I'm a big Pink Floyd fan and today (Oct. 29) is a big historical note for the band. In 1983, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" became the longest-running album on the "Billboard" music charts, with a total of 491 weeks...

I don't know if you know or not, but today is National Punctuation Day. There I got that off my chest. Now, let's get to the nuts and bolts of a Look Back With Doug. Today, we stroll back to 1988. For the record I just hit double digits that year. ...

Today's Look back takes us to 1995, when the Miss America Swimsuit Competition was voted on to stay or go during the show. Today's look back is rather fitting, since this last weekend the Miss America was on. The Miss America program has been around since the 1920s...
