WLS Top 40 for October 7, 1968: "White Room"

Fifty years ago.

15.  WHITE ROOM--  Cream      #6     The way to begin a song.  Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.

14.  HUSH--  Deep Purple    #4    Their first of three straight reimagined cover songs.  "Kentucky Woman" and "River Deep-Mountain High."  Watch out for that wolf.  Great opening guitar and organ riffs.

13.  TIME HAS COME TODAY--   Chambers Brothers    #11.  Their biggest hit.  One of my all-time favorite songs.  The perfect change to or from Daylight-Savings Time song.  Four brothers from Mississippi.  "Cuckoo!!"

12.  I GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU--  Bee Gees   #8   Born in Manchester, England.  Moved to Australia and back to England in 1967.  When I first heard them "New York Mining Disaster 1941" I was sure they were really the Beatles singing under another name.  Hey, Bee Gees could be Beatles, you know.

11.  ON THE ROAD AGAIN--  Canned Heat     #16   Great road cruisin' song.    Blues-Rock band formed in Los Angels in 1966.  Bob "The Bear" Hite on lead vocals and harmonica.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "The Preacher Talked To me And He Smiled."  Answer Below.  --RoadDog
