Fifty years ago in Chicago. * means it was rising on the charts. The number after the artist refers how high it got in the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
HITBOUND: *ONE TOKE OVER THE LINE-- Brewer & Shipley #10 Very folky. Did Lawrence Welk really call this a gospel song? "Subversive to American Youth." You got to be tokin' me. One Hit Wonders.
30. LONELY DAYS-- Bee Gees #3 Always love those tempo shifts. Maurice and Robin were twins. Three brothers.
29. IMMIGRANT SONG-- Led Zeppelin #16 Love those illusions to the ancient world. They only had one song that went Top Ten. Guess which one.
28. WHEN I'M DEAD AND GONE-- McGuinness Flint #47 You probably had forgotten about this little nugget. I sure had. But glad to find it again. A very unique sound. A mandolin? A kazoo? Technically, not even One Hit Wonders. This was their only song to crack the Hot 100.
27. LET YOUR LOVE GO-- Bread #28 For those of you who think the group was all schmaltz. Schmaltz this!! At just 2:23, way too short. Could have used more.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "We Come From The Land of The Ice And Snow." Answer below (and it is not Spring Grove right now, even though that is what we really, really have). --RoadDog
"Immigrant Song"
