Yep! Fifty years ago. If you remember this, you must be getting old.
* means it was climbing the chart. The number after the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard Hot 100 national chart.
HIT BOUND
*PUPPET MAN-- Tom Jones #26 Not one of his better-known songs. Who says the Welsh can't sing soul? Co-written by Neil Sedaka.
*DONE TOO SOON-- Neil Diamond #65 I never heard it before. Great song, though with lots and lots of names. Some of those names: Jesus Christ, Fanny Brice, Wolfie Mozart and Humphrey Bogart.
***********************
*30. DOUBLE LOVIN'-- Osmonds #14 Reminds me a lot of their song "One Bad Apple." Some more of the white Jackson Five. But good song even if only 2:06 long.
*29. RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS-- Carpenters #2 One of five straight #3 or higher songs from June '70 to September '71. Mercy, That girl could sing. One comment said "perfect voice, flawless."
*28. THAT'S THE WAY I'VE ALWAYS HEARD IT SHOULD BE-- Carly Simon #19 Her first hit. The Carly Simon video on You Tube has Art Garfunkel talking to George Harrison on it at the beginning.
*27. MELTING POT-- Booker T. & the M.G.s #45 How's this for a Soul Groove. What an organ. Their last Top 100.
26. I PLAY AND SING-- Dawn #25 A good song despite the fake applause.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "Talkin' To Myself And Feeling Old." Answer below. --RoadDog
"Rainy Days and Mondays"
