30. SWEET DREAMS-- Tommy McLaine #15 on Billboard. A true one-hit wonder of a Patsy Cline hit. Tommy McLaine (spelled McLain) was from Louisiana and almost sounded like a woman.
29. SOMEWHERE MY LOVE-- Ray Conniff #9 on Billboard. His biggest hit from the movie "Dr. Zhivago."
28. MUDDY WATER-- Johnny Rivers #19 on Billboard Full title name "(I Washed My hands In) Muddy Water." Real name John Ramistella, born New York City and raised in Baton Rouge.
27. BORN A WOMAN-- Sandy Posey #12. Country and western singer, session singer in Nashville, born Jasper, Alabama in 1944.
26. LAST TIME AROUND-- Del-Vets Did not rank on Billboard. Also spelled Del-Vetts. I'd never heard of them before, but evidently they were a Chicago band pushed by WLS and WCFL as they recorded on the Dunwich Records label. A great fuzz bass. Reminds me a lot of Chicago's Shadows of Knight.
Name That Tune (from the above): "I Was Home in Macon, Georgia." --RoadDog
"(I Washed My Hands in) Muddy Water"
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.
