The Top 40 Songs in Chicago fifty years ago according to WLS 890 AM.

The number after the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard Hot 100 national charts.  (D)  means debut.

40.  MAY I--  Bill Deal / Rhondells--    (D)    #39   Great Beach Music song.  Ranks #45 on the all-time top Beach Songs.  All those horns.

39.  ONLY YOU--   Bobby Hatfield     (D)     #95   One half of the Righteous Brothers doing a solo thang with an old Platters song.  The real McCoy.   His only solo Top 100.

38.  LONG GREEN--  Fireballs     (D)     #73     Jimmy Gilmer's group.  Why don't we "Louie, Louie" again.  Their biggest-ever hit was "Sugar Shack"  (#1-1963).  Their last Top 100.

37..  LOVING THINGS--  Grassroots      #49    Has that great Grassroots sound all over it and would have thought it would have done better on the charts.

36.  HEAVEN--   Rascals    #39    Good song but never heard it before.  You can almost feel the church. Is that the choir singing?
