WLS Top 40 for Week of May 11, 1970-- Part 6: "Hey Lawdy Mama"


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.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "The World's Gonna Find A Way."  --Answer below.  --RoadDog
