I was also getting my last good licks as a college student in and hitting the bars of Lincoln Highway. Our main hangout was Andy's.
* Means the song was climbing the charts. The number behind the artist is how high it got on the Billboard Hot 100 National Chart.
28. *THE WORLD IS A GHETTO-- War #7 Great sound guaranteed to get you into the groovin'. Latin Funk Rock band out of Long Beach, California.
27. *ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH-- John Denver #9 You forget how good of a voice he had. And, he loved anything doing with mountains. His second hit following you-know-what.
26. *DO IT AGAIN-- Steely Dan #6 That was some real good instrumentation. Their first hit. Jazz rock band formed in Los Angeles.
