Fifty years ago this week these were the songs being played on Chicago powerhouse, 50,000 watt WLS, 890 AM.
* Means the song was climbing the charts. The number behind the artist is how high it got on the Billboard Hot 100 National Charts.
15. COCONUT- Nilsson #8 Talk about your laid-back Beach Song!! What do you put in the coconut?
14. LEAN IN ME-- Bill Withers #1 You just gotta love this song. It takes me right back to the University of Georgia during junior year. #1 for three weeks.
13. *HOLD YOUR HEAD UP-- Argent #5 That's as in Rod Argent, former members of the Zombies. Their only Top 40.
12. HOLD HER TIGHT-- Osmonds #14 Never heard it before. Pretty rockin' stuff.
11. *HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WHOLE U.S.A.-- Donna Fargo #11 From Andy Griffith's hometown, Mt. Airy, North Carolina. Also where the famed Siamese Twins Chang and Eng Bunker lived and are buried. A country song on the pop charts. Her next song went all the way to #5. Bet you can't name it (without looking it up.)
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "And Said, 'Doctor, Ain't There Nothin' I Can Take?' " Answer below. --RoadDog
