He also mentioned that Carl Wilson did the lead vocal. Although it charted at only #39 in the in the U.S., it was a #2 song in England. Paul McCartney called it the greatest love song ever written.] [Jamie remarked it was co-written by Brian Wilson.] [Several folks mentioned it's from the album "Pet Sounds"] [The EJ's said it was also recorded by Marilyn Scott in 1977.] [The Dutch Officials said that in the Netherlands it entered the charts on 27-8-66, was on the charts for 8 weeks and peaked at pos 11.] You'll never win a beauty show No they won't pick you But you're my Miss America I love you #02) Sonny Charles & the Checkmates, LTD: "Black Pearl" (1969) [13] {8} [Phil Spector co-wrote and produced this song.] And he lets her know each and every night When he holds her close to him When he holds her tight Everybody says that I'm wrong But what do they know? #03) Chiffons: "Nobody Knows What's Goin' On (In My Mind But Me)" (1965) [49] {-} [The Chiffons formed at James Monroe High School in the Bronx in 1960. They chose the name 'Chiffons' out of a hat.] Her arms are wicked and her legs are long When she moves my brain screams out this song #04) Doors: "Hello, I Love You" (1968) [1] {-} [Written by the Doors.] [According to Jamie, royalties from the song go to Ray Davies of the Kinks as the courts ruled that the Doors ripped off the Kinks' "All Day And All Of The Night".] [Joe Haertel said that this was the first "successful" stereo 45 issued (only stereo 45's were made).] [The EJ's said this was a gold single and produced by Paul Rothchild.] [Curt Miller noted it was their second of only two number one songs ever by the Doors.] [The Dutch Officials quoted the Dutch Chart Files Book, which lists the title as "Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name". Netherlands: new entry 10-8-68, highest position 14, on charts for 9 weeks.] Hey little girl I hear somebody broke your heart I hear that he cheated and lied to you right from the start But it's gonna be alright Put on your red dress tonight #05) Drifters: "I'll Take You Where The Music's Playing" (1965) [51] {-} [Scooter remarked that Johnny Moore sang lead on this record.] I wanna get up in the morning Yeah, with the rising sun I'm gonna stay right on that trail 'til the day is done I think that I'm old enough I'm young in years but I'm mighty tough #06) Fabian: "Hound Dog Man" (1959/60) [9] {-} [Ron points out this is from the movie of the same name, starring Philadelphian Fabian (Forte).] Love can make-a you feel so good When it goes like you think it should Or it can make you cry at night When your baby don't treat you right #07) Bobby Fuller Four: "Love's Made A Fool Of You" (1966) [26] {-} [Ron noted it was written by Buddy Holly who intended it for the Everly Brothers, who never recorded it. It was originally released by the Crickets in 1959, probably as a studio overdub of a Holly demo.] [TPU comments: "Written by Buddy Holly for the Everly Brothers, whose manager Wesley Rose, rejected it owing to a conflict of interests. Buddy's studio demo was (unnecessarily) undubbed with handclaps and released posthumously. My favourite version, however, is the one recorded by the Crickets without Holly, even before he died!"] Your lips close to mine I get chills up my spine When they touch I thrill so much #08) Charlie Gracie: "Fabulous" (1957) [16] {-} [It sounds like Charlie is trying to imitate Elvis on this record.] [Ron agrees. He said it's a similar tune and sound to Elvis's "Don't Be Cruel" and "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear".] In a lonely shack By a railroad track He spent his younger days And I guess the sound of the outward bound Made him a slave To his wanderin' ways #09) Gogi Grant: "The Wayward Wind" (1956, 1961) [1] {-} [The EJ's comment: With the Buddy Bregman Orchestra. The only female vocal performance in the 1956 year-end top 10. Written by Herb Newman and Stan Lebousky when they were college students. Newman, who owned the Era label on which this song was recorded, showed it to Grant during a recording session. Although written for a man to sing, Grant changed the lyrics to suit a female singer, and recorded it with 15 minutes left in the session. The song became a gold single. Country singer Tex Ritter also had a hit with this song in 1956.] [Ron pointed out that Patsy Cline also recorded this.] [Tom O'Connor said "Amazing to think THIS song knocked Heatbreak Hotel out of the Billboard #1 slot! Rumor has it Gogi's name comes from a NY restaurant."] [TPU mentioned that it was covered by Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps on their fourth LP 'Record Date' in 1958.] [Rick reported that she was born Audrey Arinsberg.] [Ron and Mike Hubbard mentioned that Gogi was born in Philadelphia.] With your soft and sweet caress You brought me such tenderness Your smile from your young face Gave me back my inspiration #10) Grass Roots: "Lovin' Things" (1969) [49] {-} [The Grass Roots formed in San Francisco in 1964. They originally called themselves the Bedouins.] You're always telling me a-what to do I just can't seem to get a-rid of you You order me around just like a slave You're gonna send me to an early grave #11) Halos: '"Nag"' (1961) [25] {-} [Jamie noted it was written by their bass singer Arthur Crier. The Halos sang back-up for Curtis Lee, Shirley & Lee and Barry Mann.] [TPU noted the Halos backed Curtis Lee on "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" and included former members of (Lillian Leach and) the Mellows.] Saw a man walkin' upside down The TV's on the blink Made Galileo look like a boy scout Sorry about that #12) Hombres: "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)" (1967) [12] {-} [Rick & the EJ's observed that the first pressing listed the title as "Let It All Hang Out." The spoken opening for this song is from Red Ingle's (1948, #15) novelty hit "Cigareetes, Whuskey, And Wild, Wild Women." Rick also said that three out of the four members were in Ronny & The Daytonas' touring band.] [Jamie mentioned it was written by the Hombres.] [Curt Miller noted that it was one of the first rock n' roll songs ever issued on the Verve label, then home to Stan Getz and other jazz artists.] [This song contains some of the strangest lyrics I've heard! The Hombres consisted of B.B.Cunningham, Gary Wayne McEen, Johnny Will Hunter and Jerry Lee Masters -- all from Memphis, TN. Cunningham's brother Bill was a member of the Box Tops.] We fell in love on a Wednesday morning With all of our heart and soul And people, I know you should have been there To see my girl rock and roll #13) Ernie K-Doe: "Te-Ta-Te-Ta-Ta" (1961) [53] {21} [Written by Ernest Kador (K-Doe). His follow-up to "Mother-In-Law".] I want someone to share my laughter and my tears with Someone I know I'd love to spend a million years with Where is this someone, somewhere, made for me? #14) Brenda Lee: "I Want To Be Wanted" (1960) [1] {7} [Rick informs us that this is from the Italian song "Per Tutta La Vita". She was born Brenda Mae Tarpley.] Well there's a-one thing baby that I want you to know When you're rockin' with me you don't rock too slow Move on in get toe-to-toe We're gonna rock 'til we can't rock no more #15) Ricky Nelson: "Believe What You Say" (1958) [4] {6} [Jamie noted that it was written by Johnny & Dorsey Burnette.] My lovely woman child I found you out running wild with someone new You've been untrue And everybody knows we're through #16) Roy Orbison: "Goodnight" (1965) [21] {-} [Jamie mentioned that Roy co-wrote it.] [Netherlands: new entry 6-3-65, highest pos 6, 18 weeks -- from the Dutch Officials.] When we kiss, ooo what a thrill You took my hand and ooo baby what a chill I feel like grabbin' you real tight Squeeze and squeeze with all of my might #17) Elvis Presley: "Paralyzed" (1956/57) [59] {-} [Released on an EP along with "Love Me" and "When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold".] Can't you see I'm under your spell By the look in my eyes Can't you tell Can't you tell #18) Della Reese: "Don't You Know" (1959) [2] {1} [Barbara Cruse pointed out that this is from Musetta's Waltz in La Boheme.] [Scooter stated it was used in the soundtrack of the movie "A Bronx Tale".] Out where the bright lights are glowing You're drawn like a moth to a flame You laugh while the wine's overflowing While I sit and whisper your name #19) Jim Reeves: "Four Walls" (1957) [11] {-} [According to Jamie this was on the pop charts for 22 weeks; #1 for 8 weeks on the C&W charts.] We watch the sun Set in the evening In a far and distant land So we're beneath Sky's blue heaven There's a place I must go See the sun set in the evening With the only love I know #20) Don Rondo: "White Silver Sands" (1957) [7] {-} [Rondo was a baritone singer from NYC. He sang on TV/radio commercials.] Soft and tan You're my angel with shoes full of sand Tell me girl you'll be this way for now And forever #21) Ronny & the Daytonas: "Dianne, Dianne" (1966) [69] {-} [This song went unidentified although two entrants guessed the artist] [Written by Bucky Wilkin and Merle Kilgore. Ronny is Bucky Wilkin. Bobby Russell (wrote "Little Green Apples"), Chips Moran, and Johnny MacRae (member of Bobby "Boris" Pickett's Crypt-Kickers) backed up Ronny on their recordings. However, the touring group featured an entirely different lineup! The touring group later charted as the Hombres (see song #12).] From outer space there sat a man On a hot stove with the pots and pans Said "that's hot" I began to shout He drank-a hot coffee right from the spout #22) Gene Simmons: "Haunted House" (1964) [11] {-} [The EJs said it was the first (and biggest) Top 100 hit for Simmons.] It's true you've got me wrapped around your finger Ah, honey, it seems like that's where I belong You know how to hold me, thrill me, and control me #23) Joe Simon: "(You Keep Me) Hangin' On" (1968) [25] {11} [Joe Simon, an R&B singer originally from Louisiana, had 31 charted hits on the pop charts. This was his second biggest hit of the 1960's next to "The Chokin' Kind".] [Jyrki noted Ann Peebles recorded a beautiful version a few years later.] Girl I can't believe my ears Are you really telling me goodbye See you've takin' away My reason for living And you won't even tell me why #24) Temptations: "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)" (1968) [13] {1} [Jamie noted that Barrett Strong & producer Norman Whitfield were among the writers.] They told me I was such a fool to love you They say that you're the kind who'd never be true Pretty soon the day would come When I'd be the sorry one When I said that I'm not afraid #25) Baby Washington: "That's How Heartaches Are Made" (1963) [40] {10} [Justine (Baby) Washington was born in South Carolina and raised in Harlem. She sang in the '50s vocal group, the Hearts (not the Lee Andrews' group).] Let the whole world see That you belong to me Oh how I yearn for your kiss Tell me you'll be my My one and only Fill my heart with bliss #T1) Pyramids: "Ankle Bracelet" (1958) [-] {-} [Jamie was the only one to identify this song] Forget that guy Come on let's smile now Please won't you try Get a hold of yourself Come on and Find someone else Open up your heart girl #T2) Jay Wiggins: "Sad Girl" (1963) [116] {-} [Co-written by Jay Wiggins. Was a fairly big regional hit in Philadephia in the late 1960s.] [Iris Shapiro mentioned cover versions by the Intruders and The Midniters] [Scooter commented that Wiggins hails from Washington, D.C.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recognized.

I expected #15 and #T1 to have somewhat higher scores. #12 and #22 did better than I expected. In any case, this was a difficult quiz and demonstrates that many good oldies are ignored by standard oldies stations! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Barry Silk BCSilk@aol.com -- Jamie Lubin Standard disclaimers apply jil@donuts0.bellcore.com
