WLS Top 40 for September 8, 1969-- Part 4: "That's the Way Love Is"
The number behind the artist is how high the song got on Billboard's Hot 100 national chart.
25. A BOY NAMED SUE-- Johnny Cash #2 His biggest hit on the pop charts. "How do you do? Now you're gonna die." "Bill or George, Anything but Sue."
24. DADDY'S LITTLE MAN-- O.C. Smith #34 Kind of reminds you of "Little Green Apples." Born Ocie Lee Smith in Mansfield, Louisiana.
23. LITTLE WOMAN-- Bobby Sherman #3 A great pop song. Could be classified as Bubble Gum, but that's alright as I love my Bubble Gum Music. I'd forgotten about this song. Starred in TV's "Here Come the Brides."
22. THAT'S THE WAY LOVE IS-- Marvin Gaye #7 An early "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"?
Born Marvin Pentz Gay. First hit with #34 "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" in 1962.
