Remember fifty years ago.
* Means the song was climbing the charts. The number after the artist is how high it got on the National Billboard Hot 100 charts.
25. *RIDERS ON THE STORM-- Doors #14 Makes me think of Johnny Cash's "Ghost Riders in the Sky." Comment: It was the last song Morrison recorded with the Doors. Prophetic?
24. NATHAN JONES-- Supremes #16 Again, who needs Diana? A different sort of Motown sound, reverb and everything.
23. RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS-- Carpenters #2 Back when they just sang and didn't try to hit eight octaves.
22. *RINGS-- Cymarron #17 They named themselves after a TV program "Cimarron Strip" (1967-1968). Finish these: "Ring, ring __________ ____" "Got _____ ______ on the stereo." Their only Top 40. Pop vocal trio from Memphis.
21. *MERCY MERCY ME-- Marvin Gaye #4 The whole title "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" "Things aren't what they used to be." Even back fifty years ago.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "Where Did All The Blue Skies Go?" Answer below. --RoadDog
