WLS Top 40 for August 4, 1969-- Part 6: "Crystal Blue Persuasion"

Who sang "Crystal Blue Persuasion?"

15.  WORKIN' ON A GROOVY THING--  Fifth Dimension     #20    Another great harmony group.  I'm in love with Marilyn.  Follow up to #1  "Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In."

14.  LAUGHING--  Guess Who      #10   Written in the band's tour bus in less than a half hour.  Formed in Winnipeg, Canada.

13.  MY CHERIE AMOUR--  Stevie Wonder      #4   The Motown Sound.

12.  CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION--  Tommy James / Shondells     #2    Definitely not the
"Mony, Mony" of the earlier T.J. & Shondells.

11.  SOUL DEEP--  Box Tops     #18   The face doesn't match that voice.  Who says white guys can't sing soul?  That's Alex Chilton doing the singing.
