The Ultimate Oldies Show – The Diamonds – Hailing from Toronto, the Diamonds crossed the border and became one of the most successful harmony groups in the late 1950s, significantly on the strength of covers of black artists’ records. Hear not only the Diamonds’ hit cover but the original. Great records from the Solitaires, the Clovers, Buddy Holly, the G-Clefs, the Rays, the Willows and the Cheers!
Hosted by Mike Ficher, The Ultimate Oldies Show is a thematic two-hour weekly presentation, highlighting the artists, styles, musicians, influences and trends from the mid-1940’s through the early 1970’s. Originating at KPOV, the show is now syndicated on LPFMs in four states and is available on TuneIn radio and Mixcloud.
Fridays 6 pm, Sundays 6 am 88.9 FM KPOV, streaming at kpov.org or on the KPOV app on Google Play.
