Released as a "double A-side" single along with "Day Tripper" in Dec. 1965, concurrent with the release of the "Rubber Soul" LP. In keeping with U.K. practices of the time, neither side of the single was included on the LP. "WCWiO" appeared on the U.K.-only compilation LP "A Collection of Beatle Oldies" in December 1966, and on the U.S.-only "Yesterday ... and Today" LP in June 1966. Song was later covered by Stevie Wonder in 1971.] [The EJ's add: Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and produced by George Martin.] [T.P.Uschanov says in Britain, the "B" side of "Day Tripper"; in the States, the other way around] I've only known him a short time it's true I should be careful and watch what I do But now he wants to park Where it's awfully dark #02) Marcie Blane: "What Does A Girl Do?" (1963) [82] {-} [Written by H.Huffman and G.Klein, who also teamed to write "Bobby's Girl" , which was Blane's only other charted hit] If she's shy then I'll understand I'll make the first move and hold her hand But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad La da da da da #03) Dave Clark Five: "Please Tell Me Why" (1966) [28] {-} [Written by Dave Clark] What have you done? You are so beautiful Why did you run Away from me? #04) Crest's: "Sweetest One" (1957) [86] {-} [The Crests' first record and first to hit the pop charts. This along with the flip side "My Juanita" were regional hits in the New York area. It was issued by Joyce Records, which was run out of the back room of a Brooklyn record store] You belong to another Whose arms have grown cold But you must keep the vows dear Although they've grown old You can never be free dear Though our love is true #05) Skeeter Davis: "(I Can't Help You) I'm Falling Too" (1960) [39] {-} [Written by Don Robertson and Hal Blair] [The EJ's note this is an answer song to #12 below. Skeeter Davis' first Top 100 song] [Thanks to Mike Weaver for correcting the lyrics in lines 3/4 above] No time to wallow in the mire #06) Doors: "Light My Fire" (1967) [1] {-} [Jose Feliciano was also an acceptable, though less desirable :-), answer for the artist since it also happens to fit alphabetically] [Howard notes: The unedited version (longer instrumental section) appears on their eponymous 1967 debut LP. Jose Feliciano had a successful cover in '68. Implausibly, Mae West belted out a rendition on her "Great Balls of Fire" LP; this gem is available on Rhino's compilation CD "Golden Throats 2: More Celebrity Rock Oddities!".] [The EJ's comment: Coincidentally the first Top 100 song and the biggest career hit for both The Doors and Feliciano. The Doors version was also a gold single. Elektra Records was reluctant to have the song released in its 6 minute 50 second version. The Doors asked producer Paul Rothchild to make a shorter version for radio by taking out most of the instrumental break, but many stations preferred the album-length version anyway. Disco singer Amii Stewart incorporated "Light My Fire" into a medley which made the Top 100 in 1979] [Jamie mentions it was written by the Doors] [Rick provides the following chart information: on the charts for 23 weeks 6/3/67-11/4/67, peaking at #1, and for 6 weeks 8/31/68-10/5/68, peaking at #87. #3 in 1968 for Jose Feliciano (7/27-10/12), I would guess prompting the re-entry of the Doors' version.] I was on your side, Bill When you were losing I'd never scheme or lie, Bill There's been no foolin' #07) 5th Dimension: "Wedding Bell Blues" (1969) [1] {23} [Many people note it was written and performed by Laura Nyro. Laura's version 'bubbled under' at chart position #103 in 1966] [The EJ's add it was produced by Bones Howe. From the album "The Age Of Aquarius." A million-selling platinum single. When Marilyn McCoo sings "Bill, I love you so, I always will," she does it honestly: she was engaged to fellow 5th Dimension member Billy Davis Jr. when they recorded it!] [Jamie says the given lyrics aired on ABC-TV's One Life To Live, 6/1/95] [Wendy mentions that she prefers Laura Nyro's own version off her "First Songs" album] I ain't got time to think about money or what it can buy And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder what makes a birdy fly And I don't have the time to think about what makes a flower grow And I never give it a second thought to where the rivers flow #08) Marvin Gaye: "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby" (1969) [4] {1} [Jamie and the EJ's point out it was written by Norman Whitfield and Janie Bradford and produced by Norman Whitfield; it was originally recorded in '66 by the Temptations] [Tom O'Connor mentions a current remake by the Manhattan Transfer] There I was all alone A-waiting for you to phone But you were out with another guy Why oh why oh why #09) Gestures: "Run, Run, Run" (1964) [44] {-} [Written by Dale Menton. The Gestures consisted of Menton, Gus Dewey, Bruce Waterson and Tom Klugertz] [The EJ's note it was the only hit for this Minnesota-based rock group] Each time we part My heart wants to die #10) Jay & the Americans: "Cara Mia" (1965) [4] {-} [Several folks mentioned that Gerry Granahan, a member of Dicky Doo & the Don'ts, produced this song. Jay Black's best vocal performance, IMHO] [Howard, Rick, TPU and the EJ's all say it was originally recorded by David Whitfield with Mantovani's Orchestra in 1954 (#10)] You've got to plant your feet on solid ground You can't cut a tree until you chop it down You gotta start from scratch Work your way on up Every old hound dog once was a pup #11) Brenda Lee: "One Step At A Time" (1957) [43] {-} [Recorded in New York under the supervision of Decca's A&R man, Milt Gabler, best-remembered for his work with Bill Haley & his Comets. Background vocals were performed by the Ray Charles Singers. This was Brenda's first charted hit on the pop charts] I belong to another Whose arms have grown cold But I promised forever To have and to hold I can never be free, dear But when I'm with you I know that I'm losing the will to be true #12) Hank Locklin: "Please Help Me, I'm Falling" (1960) [8] {-} [Written by Don "The Happy Whistler" Robertson and Hal Blair] [The EJ's note it was Hank Locklin's biggest (and last) hit and that it was #1 on the country chart for 14 weeks] You're my heart's desire (heart's desire) And when you're near (when you're near) You set my soul on fire (soul on fire) Well I love the way you walk And I love the way you talk And I love the way you groo-oo-oo-ve #13) Metros: "Sweetest One" (1967) [88] {44} [Arranged and conducted by Joe Hunter. Although two teams identified this song by good guessing, not so surprisingly, this song had everyone stumped. A hard-to-find record. If you like doo-wop and vocal group harmony, you'd really like this one, IMHO] I got home early one Monday Much to my surprise She was eatin' chicken and dumplings With some other guy #14) Newbeats: "Bread And Butter" (1964) [2] {-} [Howard and the EJ's mention a cover by Robert John in 1983.] [The EJ's add it was their first and biggest hit.] [Rick comments that they also released it as the "B" side of their 1969 (#82) hit, "Groovin' (Out Of Life)". Members Dean and Marc Mathis recorded "Tell Her No" (as Dean and Marc), #42 in 1959.] You run around You run around Run around baby Run around baby Someday maybe We'll have a love #15) New Colony Six: "I Confess" (1966) [80] {-} [The Chicago-born six's first charted song. Written by Raymond Graffia Jr. (founder of the group and lead singer) and Gerald Van Kollenburg (lead guitar)] The desk clerk's dressed in black #16) Elvis Presley: "Heartbreak Hotel" (1956) [1] {3} [Jamie comments: produced by Chet Atkins; a line from the song appears in The Flying Saucer. Songwriter Tommy Durden got the song idea from a Miami Herald suicide story and wrote the song with Mae Axton (Hoyt's mother) who had met Elvis & reportedly assured him that she'd write his 1st million seller. In exchange for agreeing to make it his 1st RCA record, Elvis got an equal share of the writer's credit] [Howard comments: After 5 uncharted singles on the Sun label, this was Elvis' first RCA single, his first charted record, and his first #1 (for 8 weeks). Other charted versions by Stan Freberg (parody) in 1956, Roger Miller in 1966, and Frijid Pink in 1970.] She would not leave her number But I know who placed the call 'Cause my uncle took the message And he wrote it on the wall #17) Johnny Rivers: "Memphis" (1964) [2] {-} [Rick, Howard, EJ's, and Jamie provide the following similar comment: it was written by Chuck Berry and originally recorded by him in 1958. It was released as "Memphis, Tennessee" on the 'B' side of his 1959 #37 hit, "Back In The U.S.A." but didn't chart. An instrumental version by Lonnie Mack, "Memphis", charted at #5 in 1963.] [The EJ's add that this was Rivers' first hit] [Both Rick and Jamie say Rivers' version was recorded live at the "Whiskey A Go-Go" but neither know where it is! Rick thinks it's in Los Angeles, but he's not sure.] [Rick also mentions that Rivers recorded for 12 different labels before his first chart hit with "Memphis" on Imperial Records.] [Unfortunately, according to our GOLQ rules, I cannot give full credit for an answer of (only) Chuck Berry as the artist even though he was the original artist and Johnny Rivers is the cover artist. However, I decided that an answer of Chuck Berry deserves half credit even though it does not fit alphabetically -- GOLQuizmaster's discretion :-)] Life lands a crushing blow And once again a heart is broken And as history repeats itself These few words are sadly spoken #18) Jimmy Ruffin: "I've Passed This Way Before" (1966/67) [17] {10} [Ruffin was born in Collinsville, Mississippi] There would be no world for me If ever we would pa-a-art Where I go your name will be Forever in my hea-a-art #19) Linda Scott: "Never In A Million Years" (1962) [56] {-} [Linda was born Linda Joy Sampson in Queens, New York. #2 hit for Bing Crosby in 1937. This song stumped everyone! It sounds very similar to her 1961 hit "I've Told Every Little Star" ] When a boy meets a girl That he wants for the rest of his life He just walks right up to her Says, "Darling please be my wife" #20) Shirelles: "What Does A Girl Do?" (1963) [53] {53} [Written by Ed Townshend, best known for his 1958 record "For Your Love" ] Bein' good isn't always easy No matter how hard I've tried When he started sweet-talking to me He'd come and tell everything is alright #21) Dusty Springfield: "Son-Of-A-Preacher Man" (1968) [10] {-} [Dusty was born Mary O'Brien in London, England. Written by John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins. Used in the soundtrack of the recent movie "Pulp Fiction"] [Rick notes a charted version (unranked flipside) by Aretha Franklin in 1970 (without the hyphens in the title). Franklin's last line is: "He'd KISS and tell me everything is all right"] Girls gather round me And hear the news He finally kissed me Oh happy day! My heart's gonna shout it I'll get my diary And write about it #22) Supremes: "Run, Run, Run" (1964) [93] {93} [Written by Holland - Dozier - Holland, of course! Joe Haertel notes that this song was performed in the 1964 movie "The T.A.M.I. Show"] The latest quotations from the New York stock exchange Heart attacks up two and three-quarters Mental illness split three for one Ulcers up, one General chaos, that's general chaos, is up one-quarter #23) Third Rail: "Run, Run, Run" (1967) [53] {-} [Studio trio comprised of songwriters Joey Levine (Ohio Express) and Artie & Kris Resnick] [T.P.Uschanov notes: "Artie Resnick likes to tell the tale of how he wrote the Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'" in twenty minutes. Here, with his wife and Joey Levine, he went into the studio and constructed a group called the Third Rail, which had a hit record named "Run Run Run" that never let its social significance to get in the way of good solid humor. A winner from the summer of 1967, and when, pray tell, else?" (Lenny Kaye in the liner notes to the classic _Nuggets_ double album of "records like this")] There is someone walking behind you #24) Vogues: "Turn Around, Look At Me" (1968) [7] {-} [The Vogues, from Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, were originally known as the Val-Aires. Written by Crest Records' Jerry Capehart and originally released on that label in 1961 by Glen Campbell and charted at #62] [Jamie notes a cover version that hit #105 in '62 for the Lettermen] Like dirt under my feet Storm clouds over my head All I do each and every night Is just weep in my lonely bed #25) Jackie Wilson: "Please Tell Me Why" (1961) [20] {11} [Jackie was born in Detroit and was an amateur boxer at one time.] ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tie Breakers: I told you You were the only one You never knew It was all in fun I hurt you so This I know When I let you go I played a game How could I know I'm so ashamed That I hurt you so I'm sorry #T1) Belmonts: "I Confess" (1962) [-] {-} [I was surprised that this song had everyone stumped! Where are all you doo-wop experts? One of the better Belmonts' songs (after Dion DiMucci left the group for a solo career), IMHO] After Dion departed, the Belmonts hit the national charts with 5 of their first 6 releases on their new label, Sabrina/Sabina. This song was the one that didn't chart!] Honest I do (honest I do, honest I do, honest I do) In your eyes I read such strange things But your lips deny they're true Will your answer really change things Making me blue (making me blue) #T2) Chantels: "I'm Confessin'" (1959) [-] {-} [The EJ's mention versions by Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians, Rudy Vallee & His Connecticut Yankees, Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra, Perry Como, Les Paul and Mary Ford, Frank Ifield, Nino Tempo & April Stevens] [Any artist specified who recorded this got full credit] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THEMES PAIRS - Since this was quiz number 7-7, I thought pairs (or triplets) of songs with the same title would be appropriate! Although these song sets have identical titles, they are different songs: I Confess/I'm Confessin': #15,T1,T2 Please Tell Me Why: #03,25 Run, Run, Run: #09,22,23 Sweetest One: #04,13 What Does A Girl Do: #02,20 And one other pair -- one song paired with its answer song: Please Help Me, I'm Falling #12 (I Can't Help It) I'm Falling Too: #05 {Answer song} Theme identified by RS,JL. FIRST CHARTED HITS - There were also eleven songs that were the first Top 100 hits by the artist: #04,#05,#06,#09,#11,#13,#14,#15,#16,#17,#23 This theme was identified by RR,RS,JL,EJ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recognized. The second number on the line denotes the avg. no. of points scored on that song (total points divided by number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Rank Avg. Song T1 20.0 #01) We Can Work It Out T1 20.0 #06) Light My Fire T3 17.8 #07) Wedding Bell Blues T3 17.8 #17) Memphis 5 16.9 #16) Heartbreak Hotel 6 15.3 #24) Turn Around, Look At Me T7 14.4 #08) Too Busy Thinking About My Baby T7 14.4 #14) Bread And Butter 9 13.8 #10) Cara, Mia 10 8.8 #12) Please Help Me, I'm Falling 11 8.1 #21) Son-Of-A Preacher Man 12 7.5 #18) I've Passed This Way Before 13 6.9 #05) (I Can't Help You) I'm Falling Too 14 5.3 #23) Run, Run, Run - Third Rail 15 5.0 #20) What Does A Girl Do? - Shirelles 16 4.4 #15) I Confess - Newbeats 17 3.8 #22) Run, Run, Run - Supremes 18 3.1 #02) What Does A Girl Do? - Marcie Blane 19 2.8 #T2) I'm Confessin' 20 2.2 #11) One Step At A Time T21 1.9 #03) Please Tell Me Why - Dave Clark Five T21 1.9 #04) Sweetest One - Crest's T21 1.9 #25) Please Tell Me Why - Jackie Wilson T24 1.3 #09) Run, Run, Run - Gestures T24 1.3 #13) Sweetest One - Metros T26 0.0 #19) Never In A Million Years T26 0.0 #T1) I Confess - Belmonts Not surprisingly, everyone was able to identify #01 and #06. I expected at least one person would have identified #19 and #T1. I expected #18 to have done alot better. I was a little surprised that #20 and #23 did as well as they did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And now, a final word from first time GOLQ champion Rick Schubert, prompted by my use of the song "We Can Work It Out." Rick provides us with some historical insight into the origins of the GOLQ series: [WCWIO is very likely (at least more than any other song) responsible for the GOLQ Series, and definitely responsible for its Top Pop 100 basis. Some time between 1982 and 1986 I was driving in my car listening to the radio, and this song was played as part of a set of songs that the DJ said were from 1966. I (somehow) remembered that the song was out in late 1965, so when I got home (or to work), I called the radio station to tell the DJ he was wrong about the date for that song. He said, "let me check my book" and found that it did in fact first chart in 1965 (12/18/65) but spent most of its time on the charts and peaked in 1966. I told my wife about this, and she subsequently (without my knowledge) called up the radio station to find out what book he got this information from. He said that it was Whitburn's "Top Pop 1955-1982," which she purchased and gave to me for my birthday that year. Some years later (in 1990) when I decided to construct a series of oldies lyrics quizzes, I decided on a criterion for the songs that they charted in the Top 100 of the Billboard Pop Charts, i.e., songs in my book. Also, the book gave me a source of the exact title and artist (subject to Whitburn's errors), which provided a means for the scoring system. At that time I had never heard any other mention of Whitburn's books, so if it hadn't been for that song, I wouldn't have had that book, and perhaps these quizzes may have never been.
