WLS Top 40 for Week of February 9, 1970-- Part 5: "Always Something There To Remind Me"


Fifty years ago in Chicago.

20.  RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD--  B.J. Thomas     #1    When I hear this song I always think of those two on the bicycle from that movie.

19.  ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE TO REMIND ME--    R.B. Greaves      #27    That remake in the 1980s was a cover.  Best known for his "Take A Letter Maria"  (#2-1969).  Born Ronald Bertram Aloysius Greaves in 1944.

18.  SAVE THE COUNTRY--    Thelma Houston       #74   A Laura Nyro song.  make sure you see the Soul of the North video of the four black chicks and the white guy dancing.  Her next Top 100 song went to #1 in 1977.  "Don't Leave Me This Way" in case you're wondering.

17.  WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES--  Joe South      #12    Read the lyrics to this song.  Something we could really use in these divided days.   Born Joe Souter in 1940.

16.  BLOWING AWAY--   Fifth Dimension      #21    Another Laura Nyro song, see Song #18.  In 1969, they hit #1 with another Laura Nyro song.  "Wedding Bell Blues" in case you're wondering.
