Just a Short 50 years ago.
30. GIRL ON A SWING-- Gerry & the Pacemakers Went to #28 on Billboard. Part of the first wave of the British Invasion. Gerry was Gerry Marsden. I had never heard this song before so had to go to You Tube.
29. CHERRY, CHERRY-- Neil Diamond Probably my second favorite Neil song. Went to #6 on Billboard. His first big hit and second charting song after his "Solitary Man" which went to #55. This is my favorite Neil song. And, if I hear "Sweet Caroline" again and have to be told to sing that refrain, I'm gonna go nuts.
28. BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP-- Temptations Went to #3 on Billboard. As good of Motown as it gets. We danced that song to death with Delta Sigma Phi at NIU.
27. SUMMER SAMBA-- Walter Wonderely Went to #26 on Billboard. Brazilian organist/pianist. A true one-hit wonder.
26. MR. DIEINGLY SAD-- Critters #17 on Billboard. Their biggest hit. From New Jersey. Their leader was Don Ciccone who later joined the Four Seasons.
Name That Tune from the above: "So In Love Sad As Can Be." --RoadDog
OH HELL! ...Let's Offend Everybody: What's the difference between a northern fairy tale and a southern fairy tale? Answer: A northern fairy tale begins, ..."Once upon a time..." A southern fairy tale begins, ..."Y'all ain't gonna believe this sh*t."
"Beauty Is Only Skin Deep"
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.
