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

WLS Top 40 for the Week of February 9, 1970-- Part 3: "Someday We'll be Together"


I get how high the songs got on the Billboard Hot 100 charts from Joel Whitburn's "Top Pop  Singles 1955-1993."

30.  JAM UP AND JELLY TIGHT--  Tommy Roe      #8    Just 2:13 long.    Could have been much longer on this great little pop song.  Was this a "dirty" song?  His last Top Ten.

29.  WINTER WORLD OF LOVE--  Engelbert Humperdinck       #16    Move over Dean, we've got another crooner.  Some great singing on this ballad.

28.  SOMEDAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER--  Diana Ross /Supremes      #1   One comment was that it was his song in Vietnam and kept him going.  He did get back together with his girl.  Some of his buddies didn't get back.  Another said he tapped a young girl on the shoulder as this played as the last song of the night and they're still together 47 years later.  That's Johnny Bristol doing the male singing parts.

27.  ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM--  Glen Campbell & Bobby Gentry     #27    Country and pop go together.

26.  DIDN'T I--  Delfonics      #10   Love those horns in the beginning.  Part of the Philadelphia Sound.  Formed in 1965 as the Four Gents.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  ""You Look A Little Naughty, But You're So Polite."  Answer below.  --RoadDog


"Jam Up and Jelly Tight"
