WLS Top 40 for December 9, 1968-- Part 3: "Soulful Strut"
The number after the artist is how high the song got on the national Billboard Top 100 Chart.
30. SOULFUL STRUT-- Young Holt Trio #3 The biggest of three hits by the Chicago group. A soulful instrumental by a group also called Young Holt Unlimited.
29. PICKIN' WILD MOUNTAIN BERRIES-- Peggy Scott / Jo Jo Benson #27 Soul duo's biggest hit. Try to hear it and not butt scoot, especially the beginning.
28. KENTUCKY WOMAN-- Deep Purple #38 Going heavy with a Neil song. British pioneer heavy metal band. Follow up to "Hush" which went to #4 in 1968.
27. STRAIGHT LIFE-- Bobby Goldsboro #36 Toured with Roy Orbison 1962-64 before going out on his own. Probably couldn't make a song with this title anymore. Might offend someone.
26. SCARBOROUGH FAIR-- Sergio Mendes / Brazil 66 #16 Follow up to their versions of "The Look of Love" and "The Fool On the Hill." A Latin jazz up of the Simon & Garfunkel hit. Great song.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "She Shines In her Own Kind Of Light." Answer below. --RoadDog
