That's right, fifty years ago. Half a century. Five decades.
* before a song indicates that it was rising on the charts. The number after the artist is how high it got on the Billboard Hot 100 National Charts.
*HEY BIG BROTHER-- Rare Earth #19 Everything you could want from a rock song. Love the organ. That's the drummer doing the singing. Their first five songs all went to #19 or higher.
30. *SUGAR DADDY-- Jackson Five #10 I don't remember this one, but it's a good song. That's Michael and Jermaine trading vocals. Always loved the Jackson Five choreography.
29. *DAY AFTER DAY-- Badfinger #4 Love the start of it. Did George Harrison play the slide guitar on it? Takes me right back to Christmas 1971. Welsh rock quartet. This song produced by George Harrison.
28. *IT'S ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS-- Partridge Family #20 I never heard this one either. Okay girls, ow many of you had crushes on Keith (or was that David?) Their first five songs all went #20 ir higher.
27. *ONE MONKEY DON'T STOP NO SHOW-- Honey Cone #15 Another song that did not get enough air play. Great line: "I love you, but I can do without you."
26. PEACE TRAIN-- Cat Stevens #7 Make sure you go to You Tube and watch the video "Peace Train" featuring Yusuf/Cat Stevens Playing for Change Songs from Around the World. It will blow you away. Seriously.
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "I've Been Happy Lately, Thinking About The Good Things To Come." Answer below. --RoadDog
