WLS Top 40 for April 14, 1969-- Part 6: "Rock Me"
Fifty Years Ago.
15. WILL YOU BE STAYING AFTER SUNDAY-- Peppermint Rainbow #32 Mamas and Papas II. Real good song, though. Watch the video. Their biggest of two hits.
14. GIMME, GIMME GOOD LOVIN'-- Crazy Elephant #12 I am writing a lot about this in my RoadDog's RoadLog blog. One of my absolute favorites. A geography lesson, but way too short at 1:57.
13. ROCK ME-- Steppenwolf #10 - Their third straight Top Ten. Takes me right back to Palatine High School and Senior Lounge. This song played a whole lot.
12. I CAN HEAR MUSIC-- Beach Boys #24 Those vocals. Carl on vocals. Everyone else on harmony except Mike Love who was getting paid for doing not much of nothing.
11. SWEET CHERRY WINE-- Tommy James / Shondells #7 Follow up to #1 "Crimson And Clover." A different song from Tommy compared with his earlier songs.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "From Atlanta, Georgia, To The Gulf Stream Water." Answer below. --RoadDog
"Gimme, Gimme Good Lovin" Go to my RoadDog's RoadLog blog to find out more than you ever thought you'd know about this song, one of my all-time favorites.
