From Oldies Loon WLS. You can always see all of the songs each week at this site.
About once a month, instead of just doing the Top Ten, I list all 40 songs on the WLS Silver Dollar Survey. This be the week for the full list. And, I must admit, there were only a couple I didn't know, whereas usually there are at least 10-15. Even if I do say so, this is a mighty fine array of some really great music.
The number after the group/performer represents its highest ranking on the Billboard charts.
40. LITTLE GIRL-- Syndicate of Sound #8 San Jose, California garage-rock quintet. Their only Top Ten. Two other songs barely cracked the Top 100 on Billboard. A personal favorite of mine.
39. OPUS 17-- Four Seasons #13 (Don't You Worry 'Bout Me) At first, i wasn't sure if I'd heard this one, but after hearing it on You Tube, I definitely had. Follow up to "Working My Way Back to You."
38. I'M A ROAD RUNNER-- Jr. Walker #20 R&B group formed in South Bend, Indiana. Always great sax on a Jr. Walker song.
37. SWEET PEA-- Tommy Roe #8 From Atlanta. What kind of a name for a girl is this? His next hit was "Hooray for Hazel." The video had him singing to a "Sweet Pea."
36. GRIM REAPER OF LOVE-- Turtles #81 Pop-folk-rock group formed in high school in L.A. in 1961. A strange song with great vocals as usual.
Name That Tune: "Come On, Come On, Come On and Dance With Me." --RoadDog
"Sweet Pea"
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.
