40 years ago this week, "That Was Then, This Is Now" by #TheMonkees entered the #Top40 at 36. It peaked at 20 on 30 Aug 1986. I watched the show in reruns in the 70s, but I wasn't enough of a fan to see them on tour in the 80s. Apparently, Mike Nesmith wasn't a fan at that point, either. Maybe he was still living off that "Elephant Parts" money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh07ilUlaIc #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

"Make Your Own Kind of Music" is a song by American singer #CassElliot released in September 1969 by #DunhillRecords. It was written by #BarryMann and #CynthiaWeil, with production by #SteveBarri. In the United States, "Make Your Own Kind of Music" was a #Top40 hit, peaking at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. Largely viewed as a commercial disappointment despite strong airplay on U.S. Top 40 radio stations in November 1969.
