WLS Top Thirty Survey from December 11, 1964--- Part 1
From Oldies Loon site.
Fifty Years Ago, that's right. I usually just do the Top Ten, but there were so many interesting songs on the list as well as quite a few I'd never heard of before, I went ahead and wrote all thirty. There were only 30 listed because they also had the Top Ten R&B songs as well. *= British Invasion
1. SHE'S NOT THERE-- Zombies*
2. MR. LONELY-- Bobby Vinton
3. I'M INTO SOMETHING GOOD-- Herman's Hermits*
4. I FEEL FINE/ SHE'S A WOMAN-- Beatles* (From #18, guess where it will be next week.)
5. RINGO-- Lorne Greene
6. MOUNTAIN OF LOVE-- Johnny Rivers
7. ASK ME-- Elvis Presley
8. TIME IS ON MY SIDE-- Rolling Stones*
9. COME SEE ABOUT ME-- Supremes
10. DANCE, DANCE, DANCE-- Beach Boys
11. BABY LOVE-- Supremes
12. ANYWAY YOU WANT IT-- Dave Clark Five*
13. SHE UNDERSTANDS ME-- Johnny Tillotson
14. EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT-- Newbeats
15. GONE GONE GONE-- Everly Brothers
"Anyway You Want It" or "Look Through Any Window" were the first two 45s I ever bought. I'm still not sure which one was first.
