WLS Top 40 for Week of April 13, 1970-- Part 5: "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
The number behind the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
20. HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN-- Frigid Pink #7 Heavy and psychedelic at the same time. From Detroit.
19. FOR THE LOVE OF HIM-- Bobbi Martin #13 Love Sweet Love. All together now. About 180 degrees from #20. Born in Brooklyn, raised in Baltimore.
18. BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER-- Simon & Garfunkel #1 Now, if there is a song that brings back NIU back then, this is it. That crazy Garfunkel do, but the voice of an angel.
17. WOODSTOCK-- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young #11 Great guitar intro. helps to have a talented girlfriend, right Graham. And as you know, they were there and "scared sh******."
16. TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME-- Tyrone Davis #3 Yep, reminds me of NIU's Tune Room at the University Center. I sure wouldn't mind going back a year or two these days. I'd do that even with all the attacks on Confederate monuments. His biggest hit.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "Well I Came Upon A Child Of God, He Was Walking Along The Road." Answer below. --RoadDog
