Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

WLS Top 40 For November 4, 1968-- Part 3: "Cinnamon"


The number behind the artist is the highest it got on the Billboard Top 100 National charts.

30.  CINNAMON--  Derek    #11   Group formed by Johnny Cymbal  who had a 1963 hit with "Mr. Bass Man".  After that song, he did not have much success  Reformed with the name of his brother, but Johnny did the singing.

29.  I'M IN A DIFFERENT WORLD--  Four Tops   #51   Never heard it, but a REAL GOOD song.  Classic Motown.  It's all there.

28.  CYCLES--  Frank Sinatra    #23   He's lived through many phases and right now  one a real downer, but he'll get through.

27.  COURT OF LOVE--  Unifics     #25    Formed at Howard University in Washington, D.C..  Never heard of it.  Great choreography and dig those over-sized white gloves.   I'll sure be listening to some more of this group on You Tube.

26.  SWEET BLINDNESS--  Fifth Dimension     #13   Check out the neat parade video.  One person says the parade was in Cannes, France.  And that outfit that Marilyn McCoo was wearing!!!  Must have been poured into it.  As one person said, "'LAWD HAVE MERCY!!!!"

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Let's Go Down By The Grape Vine  Drink My Daddy's Wine, Get Happy."  Answer below.  --RoadDog
