Fifty years ago today.
15. ABC-- Jackson Five #1 The moves, the voice, the group. Wow!! This and "I Want You back" had me groovin'. Watch the American Bandstand video.
14. SOMETHING'S BURNING-- Kenny Rogers / First Edition #11 Wow, Kenny with dark hair and beard. Was he ever that young? Watch the AllanOnaJourney video.
13. HEY LAWDY MAMA-- Steppenwolf #35 Not one of their better known songs, but a classic though.
12. EVERYTHING'S BEAUTIFUL-- Ray Stevens #1 So, he can sing something besides novelty songs. A good song for these days. "The world's gonna find a way." Also, his only #1 until "The Streak" in 1974. Remember that?
11. UP AROUND THE BEND-- Creedence Clearwater Revival #4 My all-time Favorite 60s group.
