Back to Where You Were October 4, 1968?

Of course, time limitations do not allow Bob Stroud to play all the songs from that date.

Here are some others:

LITTLE GREEN APPLES-- O.C. SMITH-- He later sang Beach Music and had a big hit with "Brenda."
HARPER VALLEY PTA-- JEANNIE C. RILEY-- The person responsible for bringing this Tom T. Hall song to us, producer Shelby Singleton died October 7th. He was responsible for lots of artists and familiar songs. I'll have a write-up on him on the Dead Page in my history blog http://cootershistorything.blogspot.com

GIRL WATCHER-- OKAYSIONS-- True North Carolina one-hit wonders. Somewhere I heard they eventually became the Fabulous Kays, one of the best southeastern show bands, but I'm not sure.
MY SPECIAL ANGEL-- VOGUES-- Probably too schmaltzy for Bob

OVER YOU-- GARY PUCKETT & THE UNION GAP-- Too sweet for Bob and me.
SLIP AWAY-- CLARENCE CARTER-- When he is not "Strokin'"

SAY IT LOUD- I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD-- JAMES BROWN-- Black Power!!!
PEOPLE GOT TO BE FREE-- RASCALS-- This would have been a good one. The last two summed up the climate in those days.

SUZIE-Q-- CCR-- Loved the song in "Apocalypse Now."
1,2,3 RED LIGHT-- 1910 FRUITGUM COMPANY-- OK, Bubble Gum, but I like it.

From Dave McAleer's "The Book of Hit Singles: Top 20 Charts from 1954 to the Present Day." It featured not only the US Top 20 by month, but also the UK Top Twenty.

Next, the UK Charts. --RoadDog
