REACH OUT (I'LL BE THERE)--  FOUR TOPS--  In the Top Ten with one of their biggest hits ever.  Great Motown classic.  (And, the late great Levi Stubbs.)
BLACK IS BLACK--  LOS BRAVOS--  from Spain.
HOORAY FOR HAZEL--  TOMMY ROE--  Great Bubblegum  (A Very underrated performer.  He sure had a lot of great songs.)
ELEANOR RIGBY--  BEATLES--  "A" side of single from the latest album, Revolver, just weeks old.
YELLOW SUBMARINE--  BEATLES-- "B" side
STOP STOP STOP--  HOLLIES-- Hit Bound
CHERRY CHERRY-- NEIL DIAMOND--  newcomer
MR. DIEINGLY SAD--  CRITTERS--  (I sure couldn't remember the name of the group until Stroud told me.)
96 TEARS--  ? AND THE MYSTERIANS--  Also Top Ten at #2.  (Originally had the numbers reversed, but radio wouldn't play it.)
EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT--  TROLLS--  What a tragic tale this is.  Digging into our rich local heritage.  A little garage band from Chicago in the Top Ten on the ABC label.  (I hadn't heard this one in a really long time.)
CHERISH--  ASSOCIATION--  From their debut album.  Pretty impressive to have a #1 hit off a debut album.  The name of the album was Along Comes the Association.
That Was Sure Some Great Chicago Music Back Then.  --RoadDog
