WLS Top 40 for November 3, 1967-- Part 1: "I Say a Little Prayer for You""

From WLS Year oldies loon site.  It has the WLS Silver Dollar Surveys from 1960-1982.  Some mighty good years.

Fifty Years Ago this week, you'd be listening to these songs on WLS (or WCFL) 890 AM in Chicago.  Good old AM radio.  The number after the artist is the top slot reached on the Billboard Top 100 Chart.  That from Joel Whitburn's "Top Pop Singles 1955-1993."  Information comes from his book as well as You Tube.  A (D) means it is a debut this week.

40.  DAYDREAM BELIEVER--  Monkees   #1  (D)  It was the "B" side of "Goin' Down."  Sure didn't take this long to get to #1 in Chicago or across the country.  Give a listen to "Goin'Down," a song I'd never heard before.  A real early rap song.

39.  YOU BETTER SIT DOWN KIDS--  Cher     #9  (D)  Produced by hubby Sonny Bono.  Kind of strange that she would be singing from the husband's point of view.

38.  I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER--  Dionne Warwick   #4  (D)  Born in 1940 in East Orange, New Jersey.

37.  SKINNY LEGS AND ALL--  Joe Tex   #10   Born Joseph Arrington, Jr..  One of 27 Top 100s.  A completely sexist song, but funny.  "My wife, I think I'll keep her."

36.  BIG BOSS MAN/ YOU DON'T KNOW ME--  Elvis Presley   #38 and # 44   (D)  Two-sided hit by the "King of You-Know-What)>  I'd put his version of "You Don't Know Me" up against "Can't Help Falling in Love" anytime.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "The Six O'Clock Alarm Would Never Ring."  --Answer Below.  --RoadDog
