morning drive-time personali-
ty on WCZY-FM, and to Bob
Bernstein,who in the 1960s
was known in Detroit as Scott
Regan, another former
WKNR air personality, who
held the early evening slot.
Bernstein, now a radio adver-
tising executive in New York,
remembered The Shy Guys
well.
Bernstein had a regular
feature on his show, "The Top
One Plus Three," for which
callers would vote for their
favorite songs. In June 1966,
We Gotta Go made the top
spot several nights in a row.
According to Finn, about 47
nights to be exact. "We beat
Louie Louie (a top party
record of the time)," said
Finn. "All of our friends call-
ed in!' The song was brought
mmmmm•m°"•1
to Bernstein's attention by
the group's manager. He
listened to it and liked it. "I
thought it was a great song."
In those days, disc jockeys had
more freedom on the air, ac-
cording to Bernstein, and he
could play the song as much
as he wanted. In addition to
WKNR, radio stations
CKLW-AM and WXYZ-AM,
all popular Top 40 rock and
roll stations in the 1960s,
gave a lot of play to We Gotta
Go.
For all of them, Lewis,
Nelson, Hirshfield. and Finn,
it was a pleasant experience.
For Nelson, "it was always
fun to make music with
Mark, Stuart and Marty." But
Lewis summed it up. "Getting
paid to have fun was the best
thing?'
