WLS Top 40 for June 9, 1969-- Part 3: "Spinning Wheel"


That's right, fifty years ago.  Really?

30.  COLOR HIM FATHER--  Winstons     #7   Now that is what being  a good Daddy is all about, and they weren't even his kids.  Septet from Washington, D.C..

29.  APRIL FOOLS--  Dionne Warwick     #37    I don't recall ever hearing this song, but liked it.  Of course, the combination of Burt, David and Dionne means it will be good.

28.  SPINNING WHEEL--  Blood, Sweat & Tears     #2     Horns.  I need more horns.  The second of three straight #2s in 1969.

27.  BLACK PEARL--  Sonny Charles      #13   Listed under Checkmates.   About as pretty of a slow song as you can get.  Sonny Charles was lead singer.  From Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Their biggest hit.

26.  NO MATTER WHAT SIGN YOU ARE--  Diana Ross / Supremes   #31   Not one of their biggest hits, but that group and the Motown Sound.  Get you going.

Name That Tune (from the above songs);  "Let Me Put You Up Where You Belong."  Answer below.  --RoadDog
