About......
"It's Friday In Athens!!!"
"It's Friday In Athens!!!" began March 15, 2006 inspired by the love of Old School Music performed by local bands such as "The Soul Pleasers", "The Brothers of Unity", "The Hands of Time", "The Sensational Sounds of Motown", "The Common Peoples Band", "The Grains of Sand" and "The Splitz Band." Coming your way every Friday, an individual selection of times greatest Soul, Motown, Pop and R&B artists guaranteed to start your weekend with a song in your head and a smile that lasts all day. The first artist to debut our web space was Brenton Wood. "The Oogum Boogum Song" was one that had been celebrated in our offices every Friday for more than a year. Since then, our visitors have grown in great numbers daily. We all love good tunes, enjoy hearing those blasts from the past, and rediscovering those forgotten hits. A big THANK YOU goes out for your support and to the sponsors of......
"It's Friday In Athens!!!"
and remember as Brenton says,
"Go on wich yo bad self!"
Thank you and Oogum Boogum,
from It's Friday In Athens!!!
