HIT PARADE BOUND:
*WHEN I'M DEAD AND GONE-- McGuinness Flint #47 A real different sound. Kazoos, but not accordions. British rock group. Both members, Tom McGuinness and Hughie Flint were in the Manfred Mann Band.
30. *WE GOTTA GET YOU A WOMAN-- Runt #20 We really know it's Todd. He wrote it and also produced it. This song always reminds me of when Delta Sigma Phi fraternity brother Tom Smith and I went to Florida for Spring Break in his VW Beetle. This was his first hit after leaving Nazz and Utopia.
29. MONTEGO BAY-- Bobby Bloom #8 Still didn't think he was a white guy. His only Top 40, so that makes him a real ___ ___ _______.
28. * I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW-- Elvis Presley #21 Smooth as silk, you know. A number 11 hit for Les Paul and Mary Ford in 1954.
27. *WATCHING SCOTTY GROW-- Bobby Goldsboro #11 That's my boy, the King of Schmaltz. Written by Mac Davis who died in 2020.
26. AFTER MIDNIGHT-- Eric Clapton #18 Always love the start of this song. His first solo hit.
