WLS Top 40 for May 12, 1967-- 3: "Little Bit of Soul"


30.  RESPECT--  Aretha Franklin   (#1)  "The Queen of Soul" took an Otis Redding song and made it her own.  Surprisingly, one of only two #1s.  The other one came in 1987.

29.  CASINO ROYALE--  Herb Alpert   (#27)  Title song from the movie featuring David Niven and Peter Sellers.  Blow those horns!!

28.  CLOSE YOUR EYES--  Peaches and Herb   (#8)  Soul duo from Washington, D.C..  Does slow soul get any better than this?

27.  GIRL--  Pride & Joy   )No Billboard ranking)  From Highland Park, Illinois, a Chicago suburb.  Once again, WLS backing our local talent.  never heard this two-minute song.  Man, Chicago Rock was great back then.

26.  LITTLE BIT OF SOUL--  Music Explosion    (D)   (#2)  Biggest hit of two Top 100s.  Does Garage Rock get any better?
