A word about June 12





We remember June 12:

"Gomer Pyle USMC":    We remember James Thurston Nabors was born on this day in 1930.  He died in 2015 at age 87.     Besides playing the happy Marine, Nabors also had an amazing singing voice.  

"The diary"   We remember Anne Frank who was born on this day in 1929.  She died in 1945.

"Satisfaction":   We are talking about The Rolling Stones and "Satisfaction", their first big hit in the US and moving up the charts quickly this month in 1965.  It was voted by Rolling Stone (the magazine not related to the group) as the # 2 rock song of all time.

"Tear down this wall":    There it was!  President Reagan challenging the Soviet Union to "tear down this wall".

"Wild thing":    We remember Reg Presley who was born on this day in 1941.  He died in 2013.  Reg was the lead singer of The Troggs, a British band that had several Top 40 hits in the late 1960s
