I've been listing the songs Wendy Rice played last Saturday on her Flashback show to 1970. Here are the Top Twenty Songs in the Beach Music world for the following year. Fessa Hook describes this as the 4th Wave of Beach Music and says other describe it as the Dark Ages of Beach Music. Things were so bad, he could only come up with a Top Twenty for the year.
You can hear these songs at Cashbox.
20. SWEETEST THING THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN-- Presidents
HM. MASS ANN-- Delaney & Bonnie and Little Richard
19. TEARS OF A CLOWN-- Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
18. LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND-- Odds and Ends
17. NOBODY LOVES ME LIKE YOU DO-- Georgia Prophets with Billy and Barbara
17. DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME-- Georgia Prophets with Billy and Barbara
16. BRING THE BOYS HOME-- Freda Payne
