These were the top 30 songs in Chicago fifty years ago according to WLS, 890 AM.
^ means it was climbing the chart.
25. ^ GOD, LOVE & ROCK & ROLL-- Teegarden & Van Winkle #22 I'd almost forgotten this one. A real church sing-a-long. Their only top 40 so that makes them a real One-Hit ________.
24. I (WHO HAVE NOTHING)-- Tom Jones #14 Gets the full T.J. workout. This could have been a great James Bond theme song as one person commented.
23. ^ LUCRETIA MacEVIL-- Blood, Sweat & Tears #29 Horns. Got to have horns. More horns. How do you start off a song with better horns? One comment by a gal named Lucretia said this song was why she was named that.
22. WAR-- Edwin Starr #1 Pretty well sums up the Vietnam War back then. Worth absolutely nothing. Born Charlie Hatcher.
21. WE CAN MAKE MUSIC-- Tommy Roe #49 Sounds like Bubble Gum Music. I love Bubble Gum Music. Born in 1942 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "Little Girl, What's Your Game? Hard Luck and Trouble Bound To be Your Claim To Fame." Answer below. --RoadDog
"Lucretia MacEvil"
