Just 50 years ago, boys and girls, well, old boys and girls.
40. MISTY-- Groove Holmes (Richard "groove" Holmes. #44 on Billboard. Born Pittsburgh, this song is 6 minutes long, an organ instrumental.
39. TRAINS & BOATS & PLANES-- Dionne Warwick-- #22. Real pretty slow one.
38. BILLY & SUE-- B.J. Thomas #34. A war song, just perfect for Vietnam. She was a runaround Sue who wrote him a Dear John letter.
37. SUNNY-- Bobby Hebb #2 on Billboard. Born in Nashville.
36. FRIDAY'S CHILD-- Nancy Sinatra #36 on Billboard. Slow. Not one of her better-known songs.
Name That Tune (from the above): "We Were So In Love and High Above We had a Star to Wish Upon." --RoadDog
