WLS Top 40 for Week of May 11, 1970-- Part 2: "Make Me Smile"


I always go to You Tube and listen to every songs when I do a Top 40.  As they say, really takes me back.   Listening to the Fifth Dimension's "Puppet Man" right now.

35.  MAKE ME SMILE--  Chicago     #9   (D)  Horns and more horns!!  I love a good horns band.  And, from Chicago.  Originally the Chicago Transit Authority.

34.  MY BABY LOVES LOVIN'--  White Plains      #13      A great 3-minute piece of pop music if there ever was one.  That's Tony Burrows singing lead.   He also sang hits for the Pipkins, Edison Lighthouse, Brotherhood of Man (which means he had two songs in this week's Top 40) and White Plains.  A Man of Many Groups, that Tony.

33.  THE SEEKER--  Who   #44     Great guitar intro.  "I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beatles."

32.  PEOPLE AND ME--  New Colony Six     Did not make Top 100.    Never heard of this song before.  But, a much heavier effort than they usually did in the Ronnie Rice era.  This was WLS pushing local talent in Chicago.

31.  LET IT BE--  Beatles      #1   Another good song for these days.  Buy, hey, they had problems back fifty years ago as well.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "When I Find Myself In Time of Trouble Mother Mary Comes To Me."  Answer below.  --RoadDog


"Let It Be"
