WLS Top 40 for Week of July 13, 1970-- Part 4: "Mississippi Queen"


Fifty years ago on Chicago's WLS 890 AM.

25.  GET READY--  Rare Earth     #4    The lead singer was the drummer.  Who says white guys can't sing soul?   Their first hit.

24.  MISSISSIPPI QUEEN--  Mountain     #21   A cow-beller that rocks.  One of my all-time favorites.

23.  CHECK OUT YOUR MIND--  Impressions      #28    Never heard it before, but real good song.

22.  HITCHING A RIDE--  Vanity Fare      #5   A Fun Song.  Flute and a cowbell!!  The singer in the video sure looks like Journey's Steve Perry.  British pop quintet.

21.  QUESTION--  Moody Blues      #21    They sure could harmonize.  The guy playing guitar at the start had to have blisters on his fingers.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "When We're Knockin' At The Door."  Answer below.  --RoadDog
