WLS Top 40 for July 8, 1968-- Part 1: "Sky Pilot"
(D) means Debut. The # is how high it got on the Billboard Top 100.
40. HITCH IT TO THE HORSE-- Fantastic Johnny C (D) #34 Couldn't help but think "Boogaloo Down Broadway" Who was that band backing him? Hadn't heard it before.
39. HALFWAY TO PARADISE-- Bobby Vinton (D) #23 Real slow smoothie. "So near yet so far away." Stanley Robert Vinton.
38. DON''T GIVE UP-- Petula Clark (D) #37 Never heard it before, but to the Petula Clark formula for great songs. Grows on you. Born Epsom, England 11/15/32.
37. SKY PILOT-- Eric Burdon & the Animals (D) #14 One of my all-time favorite songs. You can picture them taking off for enemy action. Part 1 was the hit. The song was so long it was continued on the second side of the 45.
36. PEOPLE GOT TO BE FREE-- Rascals (D) #1 Blue-eyed Soul-Pop quartet formed in New York City in 1964.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "All The World Over So Easy To See." Answer below. --RoadDog
