WLS Top 30 for Week of January 11, 1971-- Part 1: 'Montego Bay'

*  means it was climbing the charts.  The number after the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard Hot 100 national chart.

HIT PARADE BOUND:  

*WHEN I'M DEAD AND GONE--  McGuinness Flint    #47     A real different sound.  Kazoos, but not accordions.   British rock group.  Both members, Tom McGuinness and Hughie Flint were in the Manfred Mann Band.

30.  *WE GOTTA GET YOU A WOMAN--    Runt       #20     We really know it's Todd.  He wrote it and also produced it.  This song always reminds me of when Delta Sigma Phi fraternity brother Tom Smith and I went to Florida for Spring Break in his VW Beetle.  This was his first hit  after leaving Nazz and Utopia.

29.  MONTEGO BAY--  Bobby Bloom    #8     Still didn't think he was a white guy.  His only Top 40, so that makes him a real ___ ___ _______.

28. * I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW--  Elvis Presley      #21     Smooth as silk, you know.   A number 11 hit for Les Paul and Mary Ford in 1954.

27.  *WATCHING SCOTTY GROW--  Bobby Goldsboro      #11    That's my boy, the King of Schmaltz.  Written by Mac Davis who died in 2020.

26.  AFTER MIDNIGHT--  Eric Clapton     #18       Always love the start of this song.  His first solo hit.
