From Olduies Loon. About once a month I like to do all 40 songs as there are a lot of interesting ones, some I've never heard. I give them a good listen on You Tube which almost always has the song.
40. UNIVERSAL COWARD-- Jan Berry (Of Jan & Dean) A reply to "Universal Soldier." An anti anti-war song.
39. YESTERDAY-- Al De Lory. Surprisingly, You Tube didn't have it. In 1970, he did a version of "MASH's" "Suicide Is Painless."
38. LET ME BE-- Turtles
37. MY BABY-- Temptations
36. I GOT YOU-- James Brown
35. WHERE DO YOU GO-- Cher-- #25 U.K. and #33 in U.S. Not one of her better songs.
34. 5 O'CLOCK WORLD-- Vogues
33. MYSTIC EYES-- Them Final of their three 1965 charters. A real Blues Rave Up The other two songs were "Gloria" and "Here Comes the Night." Van Morrison out front singing.
32. TEARS-- Ken Dodd A slow song. A British singer/comedian. Had 19 hit singles in the U.K. from 1960-1981.
31. CHILD OF OUR TIMES-- Barry McGuire Follow up to "Eve of Destruction." Reached #72 on Billboard. In the same vein as his hit.
Name That Tune: "Up Every Morning Just to keep a Job." --RoadDog
"5 O'Clock World"
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
