National Music Charts February 1966

Yesterday, I took a look at Bob Stroud's top songs in Chicago from Feb. 8, 1966. Today I will look at the top 20 in the national charts for the month.

"lightning Strikes" by Lou Christie was #1. It wasn't on the UK top 20.

Others listed that weren't on the Chicago list:

#2 MY LOVE-- Petula Clark
#6 CRYING TIME-- Ray Charles
#7 NO MATTER WHAT SHAPE- T-Bones
#10 DON'T MESS WITH BILL-- Marvelettes
#11 THE BALLAD OF THE GREEN BERETS-- Barry Sadler
#16 THE MEN IN MY LITTLE GIRL'S LIFE-- Mike Douglas
#19 SHE'S JUST MY STYLE-- Gary Lewis & the Playboys

I'm not real sure about #16.

Gary Lewis & the Playboys was a very under rated group that sure released some fun songs. Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Loved the Deep "Don't You Know That She's..." --RoadDog

From a Cop: "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can."
