WLS Top 40 for September 8, 1969-- Part 4: "That's the Way Love Is"

The number behind  the artist is how high the song got on Billboard's Hot 100 national chart.

25.  A BOY NAMED SUE--  Johnny Cash    #2      His biggest hit on the pop charts.   "How do you do?  Now you're gonna die."  "Bill or George, Anything but Sue."

24.  DADDY'S LITTLE MAN--  O.C. Smith       #34   Kind of reminds you of "Little Green Apples."   Born Ocie Lee Smith in Mansfield, Louisiana.

23.  LITTLE WOMAN--  Bobby Sherman     #3   A great pop song.  Could be classified as Bubble Gum, but that's alright as I love my Bubble Gum Music.  I'd forgotten about this song.  Starred in TV's "Here Come the Brides."

22.  THAT'S THE WAY LOVE IS--  Marvin Gaye     #7     An early "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"?
