WLS Top 40 for May 12, 1969: "In the Ghetto"

These were the songs on the WLS top 40 fifty years ago.  The good old days of AM radio when they played a little bit of everything from country to pop back then.

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

40.  BAD MOON RISING--  Creedence Clearwater Revival     (D)      #2     My ringtone.  Enjoyed the video on You Tube by Driver Atomic.   Follow up to "Proud Mary" also #2.   One of five #2s.  No #1s.

39.  WHERE'S THE PLAYGROUND SUSIE--   Glen Campbell    (D)    #26   Not one of his better-known songs.  It was the first song on side two of his "Galveston" album.   Follow up to "Galveston."

38.  EVERY DAY WITH YOU--  Classics IV    (D)     #19   One of life's little joys.     He's s-o-o-o-o in love.   Follow up to "Traces."

37.  IN THE GHETTO--  Elvis Presley   (D)     #3    Elvis getting socially conscious about the Chicago ghetto.  Still very relevant today.

36.  LET ME--  Paul Revere & the Raiders   (D)      #20    Getting heavy.  Fuzz guitars.  Really like the false end and shout.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Don't Go Around Tonight.  Well, It's Bound To Take Your Life."
