30. OUTSIDE THE GATES OF HEAVEN-- Lou Christie Really great song. Went to #45 Billboard. Follow up to his #1 "Lightning Strikes" (which was #5 on this week's WLS Survey).Born Lugee Sacco in Pennsylvania.
29. BATMAN-- Neal Hefti His only top 100, went to #35. This was the original TV them,e song you heard when you saw the show., starring Adam west and Burt Ward. Jan and Dean even had a "Batman" that went to #66. The Markettes also had a "Batman" on the WLS Survey at #19. It was a biggie. I know i watched this show and "The Monkees" all the time.
28. WAIT A MINUTE-- Tams OK, when I first saw the group name I thought it was that great Soul/Beach Music group out of Atlanta by that name. Went to #76 on Billboard by Tim Tam & the Turn Ons out of Detroit. Featured Rick "Tim tam" Weisend. Had that great falsetto voice and was a throw-back to 1950s Doo Wop. Very Four Seasonish. Also, listen to their "Cheryl Ann" song.
27. MOULTY-- Barbarians Went to #90.on Billboard. Part a talk song, part a romp. From Provincetown, Massachusetts. Follow up to their "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl."
