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

WLS Top 40 for January 13, 1969-- Part 5: "Too Weak To Fight"


The number after the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard Hot 100.

20.  LO MUCHO QUE TE QUIERO--  Rene / Rene     #14    Very good song sung in both Spanish and English.  Slow.

19.  I STARTED A JOKE--   Bee Gees     #6      Robin's funny hairdo but what a voice.  A comment on the video said that Robin's voice gave the Bee gees their signature pre-disco sound.  I agree.

18.  GOODNIGHT MY LOVE--  Paul Anka      #27     Sounds so much like a Frank Sinatra song.

17.  TOO WEAK TO FIGHT--  Clarence Carter       #13    Dr. CC.  A Soul classic, but at just 2:17 way, way too short.  Her hook is in too deep.  What he could do with his voice!!!

16.  I LOVE HOW YOU LOVE ME--  Bobby Vinton     #9   So slow, so pretty.  Good wedding song.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "I Started To Cry, Which Started The  Whole World Laughing.  --Answer below.  --RoadDog
