1968 - the year the world was turned upside down. In the US, divide between rich and poor was at an all-time high, with race relations and the fight for equality at the forefront of social issues. The Vietnam War continued to escalate, with no end in sight. 1968 Hits Radio is the sound of that year - the anthems, the classics, and the songs that defined a generation. The music reflects the social upheaval - from the flower power of San Francisco to the protests of Paris, from the streets of Mexico City to the Prague Spring. This was the year that saw the assassination of MLK and RFK, the Tet Offensive, the protests at the Democratic National Convention, and the student uprising in Mexico. The music of 1968 captures the spirit of a generation fighting for change.
