The top 30 songs in Chicago fifty years ago this week.
* means it was climbing the charts. The number after the artist is how high it got on the National Billboard Charts.
ALL HIT BOUND
*ALL DAY MUSIC-- War #35 Is this a laid-back song or what? A great summer song. Someone said they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That would be a shame. (I looked it up. They aren't. Come on guys!!)
*STICK UP-- Honey Cone #11 Lead singer Edna Wright died last year. She was the sister of Darlene Love. Follow up to huge hit "Want Ads" (#1-1971)
*I WOKE UP IN LOVE THIS MORNING-- Partridge Family #13 Made popular by the TV show which ran from 1970-74. This was their 4th straight song to be #13 or higher.
30. *TAKE ME GIRL, I'M READY-- Hr. Walker & the All Stars #50 Sax Me, Baby. I've heard this song many times, but didn't know the name. Now I do.
29. *GO AWAY LITTLE GIRL-- Donny Osmond #1 A bit too high of a voice to sing this song. Donny back in his Michael days. Could have been a Gary Puckett song.
28. *WEDDING SONG-- Paul Stookey #24 As in the Peter, Paul & Mary guy. Wonder how many times this song was played at weddings?
27. *SPANISH HARLEM-- Aretha Franklin #2 Making another song her own.
26. *MOTHER FREEDOM-- Bread #37 And you thought they just did schmaltzy slow songs. Too bad they didn't do more rockin' songs, though. Could have been longer also.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "I Know That Your Lips Are Sweet, But Our Lips Must Never Meet." Answer below. --RoadDog
