Instrumental Hits Radio

Do you know that the mega hit instrumental is long gone? In the Baby Boomer era of 1955-1980 hundreds of instrumentals were giant hits on Billboard's Hot-100. Countless ones were in the Top-10. In fact dozens upon dozens reached the coveted #1 spot. But, there has not been a #1 instrumental hit since 1986.

On this edition of American Jukebox we look at those instrumental hits. 33 of them from the sounds of lush full orhestras, to the small combo, to the soloist, on to electronic and bagpipes. All HUGE hits, many of which you have forgotten or never even knew.
This promises to be an eye-opener for your listeners and gauaranteed to please. Nearly three dozen examples of what the radio sounded like in the heyday of American Top-40.
