Where Were You February 28, 1965?-- Part 5

Some other songs popular back 45 years ago. Hard to believe these are going on a half century ago.

From Dave McAleer's Book of Hit Singles: Top 20 Charts from 1954 to the Present Day.

Top Twenty from February 1965, not included in Bob Stroud's list.

THIS DIAMOND RING-- GARY LEWIS & THE PLAYBOYS-- Love the start of this song. What a hook.
MY GIRL-- TEMPTATIONS-- Another great way to start a tune. Who can't name the song after six notes?

THE NAME GAME-- SHIRLEY ELLIS-- How can you sing that fast?
SHAKE-- SAM COOKE

THE JOLLY GREEN GIANT-- KINGSMEN-- "From the valley of the jolly, green giant, __, __, __.
HOLD WHAT YOU'VE GOT-- JOE TEX

LET'S LOCK THE DOOR (AND THROW AWAY THE KEY)-- JAY & THE AMERICANS
LOVE POTION #9-- SEARCHERS-- You kissed a cop and he did what?

THE "IN" CROWD-- DOBIE GRAY-- I was never in the "In" Crowd.
TWINE TIME-- ALVIN CASH & THE CRAWLERS-- Never heard of it. Appears to be an instrumental.

HOW SWEET IT IS TO BE LOVED BY YOU-- MARVIN GAYE
KING OF THE ROAD-- ROGER MILLER-- "Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let ___."

"No Phone, No Pool, No Pets, I Ain't Got No _______." --RoadDog

I have a degree in Liberal Arts. Do you want fries with that?
