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

WLS Top 40 for March 10, 1969-- Part 5: "You Showed Me"


20.  MENDOCINO--  Sir Douglas Quintet      #27   Get that Tex-Mex thing going.    Love the organ.  Doug Sahm's band.  Also Augie Meyers.  Sounds a bit Texas Tornadoes.  Their second biggest hit of four Top 100s.  First and biggest hit, "She's About A Mover"  (#13-1965)

19.  BUT YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU--  First Edition     #11   Watch the video and see a really young Kenny Rogers, with non-white hair and beard, even.

18.  BUILD ME UP BUTTERCUP--  Foundations    #3     An absolutely great party song.  English Soul by a bi-racial group.  Their biggest hit.  Also had "Baby, Now That I've Found You"  (#11-1968).

17.  YOU SHOWED ME--  Turtles    #6   I've always thought this to be a rather strange, different song for them.   Pop-Folk-Rock group formed at Westchester High School in Los Angeles in 1961.

16.  MY WHOLE WORLD ENDED--  David Ruffin     #9    This was his first solo effort after leaving the Temptations.   Full title "My Whole World Ended (the Moment You Left Me)"  All that great Motown.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "And Then, Worst Of All (Worst Of All)  You never Call, Baby."  Answer below.   --RoadDog
