This is one of the surveys where, instead of just the Top Ten, I do all 40 songs to get a better idea of what was hot FIFTY YEARS AGO. As usual, there were a lot of songs in the lower reaches I had not heard. Thank goodness for You Tube. Now I've heard them.
40. HOUSTON-- Dean Martin Was Dean going country on his TV show singing this and "playing" the harmonica?
39. HEY HO-- Guess Who Live at River Heights Community Club in in Feb. 1966. Bootleg but good show. Follow up to "Shakin' All Over."
38. IF YOU WAIT FOR LOVE-- Bobby Goldsboro Flip side of "If You've Got a Heart." I liked the flipside much better. Both sides made the Top 100#60 and #75.
37. LAUGH AT ME-- Sonny As in Sonny without Cher. This is why Cher does most of the singing.
36. MOONLIGHT & ROSES-- Vic Dana. OK, I'd heard it before, just wasn't sure of the title.
35. WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE-- Animals
34. BECAUSE YOU'RE MINE-- James Darren. Neat video with all those bikini-clad young ladies.
33. NIGHT PEOPLE-- Leaders Sure hard to find out anything about this group. Did not make the Billboard Top 100. On Fantana label. Group had guys and gals in it.
32. I LIVE FOR THE SUN-- Sunrays A great summer song. They sounded a lot like the Beach Boys.
31. I'LL MAKE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE-- Ronnie Dove His 6th top hit, reaching #21 on Billboard. Sure reminded me of Ray Charles' "I Can't Stop Loving You."
"In This Dirty IOld Part of the City Where the Sun refuses to Shine." --RoadDog
"We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place"
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
