WLS Top 40 for July 14, 1967-- Part 1: "For Your Precious Love"

Once a month, I list the whole WLS Silver Dollar Top 40.  I also do research on the songs and listen to the ones I haven't heard in a long time or can't remember ever hearing.

I get the information from Oldies Loon WLS and Joel Whitburn's"Top Pop Singles 1955-1993."

(D) means it debuted.  The number after the artist is how high it got on the Billboard Hot 100.  This week there were a lot of debuts and five of them in the top 30.

40.  HAPPENING-- Herb Alpert  (D)    #32  He produced the first Jan & Dean session.  Great horns.

39.  HAPPY--  Blades of Grass   #87   Pop quartet from New Jersey.  Their only hit  Very syrupy but it grows on you.

38.  FOR YOUR PRECIOUS LOVE--  Oscar Toney Jr   #23   His biggest hit  He talks at first, then starts singing.  Some really great soul.  I'd even go so far as to say he outsouled the Iceman.

37.  SOMEBODY HELP ME--  Spencer Davis Group   #47  Featuring the really, really young Steve Winwood (or was that Stevie?).

36.  IT'S COLD OUTSIDE--  Choir   #68.  Their only hit  Rock quartet from Cleveland.  several members went on to be in the Raspberries.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "A Little Boy of Seventeen I had a Girl She Was My Queen."  (Answer below):  --RoadDog

YOU'RE DRINKING TOO MUCH COFFEE WHEN:  Your taste buds are so numb you could drink your lava lamp.
