WLS Top 40 for February 12, 1968-- Part 1: "Love Is Blue"
Songs from WLS Survey Oldies Loon. WLS was a major AM station in Chicago playing pop music back in the 1960s.
When I can't remember hearing the song, I go to You Tube and listen to it. Comments are from Joel Whitburn's "Top Pop Singles 1955-1993."
The number after the artist is how high it got on the Billboard Top 100. (D) is a debut song.
40. LOVE IS ALL AROUND-- Troggs (D) #7 Who says they can't be sweet after "Wild Thing"? From Paramus, New Jersey.
39. LOVE IS BLUE-- Al Martino (D) #57 So that is how Paul Mauriat's song goes. Al Martino had 34 Top 100s from 1959-1978.
38. KISS ME GOODBYE-- Petula Clark (D) #15 Pretty good song that I don't remember hearing. 3:56 long.
37. I'M GONNA MAKE YOU LOVE ME-- Madeling Bell (D) #28 Actually her name was Madeline Bell. Her only hit. The Supremes and Temptations had a big hit with this song a year later.
36. JEALOUS LOVE-- Wilson Pickett (D) #50 Never heard this song. Anything by the Wicked Pickett, of course, is good. From Prattville, Alabama.
