Where Were You December 27, 1969-- Part 4

Well, here we are getting ready to move into the next decade, the seventies. Good times back then.

SHE-- TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS-- newest 45. No to be confused with the Monkees hit from a few years earlier. (Not really familiar with this one.)

COME TOGETHER-- BEATLES-- The "A" and "B" side of the newest Beatles release.
SOMETHING-- BEATLES-- (What, the Beatles with a two-sided-hit? That's like CCR having a two-sided hit.)

SHE BELONGS TO ME-- RICK NELSON-- one of my favorite songs from 40 years ago today by a guy who used to go by the name Ricky nelson. These days, he was Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band covering Bob Dylan's "She Belongs to Me." (Little Ricky growing up. No more slicked back hair.)
WHOLE LOTTA LOVE-- LED ZEPPELIN-- from "#2" about a month old.

EVIL WOMAN-- CROW-- First hit. (One of the great garage rock bands of all time. Little Steven would definitely agree with me.)
I WANT YOU BACK-- JACKSON FIVE-- killer song production. First time out in the top ten. Graham Parker did a great version of it in the late seventies. (My favorite Jackson Five/Michael Jackson song.)

SOMEDAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER-- The Supremes-- a rather turbulent time. This song kind ofbrought people together. Diana Ross's swan song with the Spremes. (Number 1 in Chicago.)
