Fifty years ago is a real long time. Right?
* Means the song was climbing the charts. The number after the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard Hot 100 National Charts.
10, BREAK UP TO MAKE UP-- Stylistics #5 I'd forgotten about this one, but glad I was reminded. A great belly-rubber.
9. SING-- Carpenters #3 Feeling down? Listen to this song and let a smile be your guide.
8. LOVE TRAIN-- O'Jays #1
7. DANNY'S SONG-- Anne Murray #7
