Barry added that it was written by J. Henderson, B. Scott & S. Robin] [Rick added that it was a #10 hit for The Cats And The Fiddle in 1940 on the East Coast regional Best Sellers charts. It was also a #34 hit for Chris Conner in '57] Well you know that I love yoo-oo-ooo-oo-oou More than anyone can But a one-sided lo-o-o-ove #02) Ann-Margret: "I Just Don't Understand" (61) [17] [EJs & Co. pointed out that it was the actress' 1st & biggest hit] And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet As I sit there applaudin' from a front row seat When somebody breaks your heart Like you, like you broke mine #03) Tony Bennett: "I Wanna Be Around" (63) [14] [co-written by Johnny Mercer;

the Harptones also recorded it in '55] [EJs added that the million-seller was Boone's 2nd #1 hit (after "Ain't That A Shame") & that Nat "King" Cole's 1950 version was a modest hit on the Pop chart] [I *think* the melody is the same as Hunter's Since I Lost My Baby; 23 weeks on the pop charts; hit #14 in the UK] [a few entrants thought the song was The Gypsy Cried by Lou Christie (which has similar lyrics)] You see, man made the cars To take us over the road Man made the train To carry the heavy load #05) James Brown And The Famous Flames: "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" (66) [8] {1} [Mike Weaver stated that this was included recently in a "politically incorrect" song thread in alt.rock-n-roll.oldies] [Jyrki/Pekka pointed out that Brown produced an answer song by Irma Thomas, "It's A Man's - Woman's World (Parts 1 & 2)," which showed up briefly on Billboard's bubbling under chart.] [The Dutch Officials said that it hit #19 in the Netherlands] [EJs added that it was written by Bert Jones & James & that it was #1 on the R&B charts for 2 weeks] [In the soundtrack of A Bronx tale; co-written by James] He told me that he needed me more than words could ever say And then he went o-out to prove it in such a sweet, sweet wa-a-ay He said "never again lonely will you be-e-e" And that's when he asked to ma-a-ary me #06) Mitty Collier: "I Had A Talk With My Man" (64) [41] [Jyrki/Pekka stated that it was based on gospel singer James Cleveland's "I Had A Talk With God" which Cleveland wrote] You say you know somebody Someone who shows you the way when you're lost, at any cost (But I) but I don't have anybody I grope in the dark and I'm totally blind, hey, don't you think that's unkiiind #07) Cowsills: "In Need Of A Friend" (68) [54] It's just like make believe Each night is New Year's Eve Each day is Christmas day You make me feel this way It's gonna snow outside The weather will be cold #08) Connie Francis: "It's Gonna' Be Warm This Winter" (62/63) [18] From the day of our break-up (a-ba-ba-boo) I've been hopin' a-that a-we'd ma-ake up (a-ba-ba-boo) Your love for me I'm a-tryin' to shake up #09) Gino & Gina: "(It's Been A Long Time) Pretty Baby" (58) [20] {14} I used to think I'd like to be a queen And have the things that only money brings (baby baby) But I have more than all that gold can buy, that is why #10) Ikettes: "I'm So Thankful" (65) [74] {12} Do what you wanna do I can't tell you who to sock it to #11) Isley Brothers: "It's Your Thing" (69) [2] {1} [Hymie pointed out that it was their 1st top-10 hit] [Jyrki/Pekka stated that it was the 1st hit on their own label, T-Neck] [EJs added that it was written by the Isleys; #1 on R&B charts for 4 weeks; a million-seller & their biggest hit] [Can be heard/seen in a current Burger King commercial] Though I know in my heart we've drifted apart Still I can't believe our love is dead Though it's as plain as can be that you're finished with me I just can't get it through my head #12) Chuck Jackson: "I Keep Forgettin'" (62) [55] [Jyrki/Pekka mentioned that it was written by Leiber & Stoller] My true love lives in Natchez And that's-a way down south Don't got me long before I kiss From her pretty mouth #13) Trini Lopez: "I'm Comin' Home, Cindy" (66) [39] No matter what the world may say about me I know your love will always see me thro-ough I love you for a hundred thousand reasons #14) Al Martino: "I Love You Because" (63) [3] [The Dutch Officials stated that, in the Netherlands, Jim Reeves' version was on the charts for half a year, peaking at #7] [EJs added that it was Al's biggest hit during the rock era; #1 on the adult contemporary charts for 2 weeks; Leon Payne's 1950 recording was #1 on the Country charts] That I need somebody to call my own I'm so tired of bein' alone Somebody that really loves me Somebody that'll kiss and hug me #15) Ricky Nelson: "I Wanna Be Loved" (59/60) [20] Now I've heard so many times before That your love can be so bad But I, I just wanna tell you people It's the best love I've ever had #16) Parliaments: "(I Wanna) Testify" (67) [20] {3} [Barry recalled that it was co-written & produced by lead singer George Clinton] [RR's Marc Dashevsky added that his 45 lists the title as "Testify"] Deep in my heart there's a tremblin' question Still I am sure that the answer's, answer's gonna come somehow Out there in the dark (in the dark) there's a beckoning candle, yeah And while I can think, while I can talk, while I can stand, while I can walk #17) Elvis Presley: "If I Can Dream" (68/69) [12] [EJs commented that the million-seller was performed by Elvis on his "Elvis" TV special & album] Daytime or nighttime, anytime at all I'll rush to your side, anytime you call Just to be near you, you know, anywhere I'll go How could you hurt me so, oh #18) James Ray: "If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody" (61/62) [22] {10} [Barry reported the artist specification as it appears on original 45: James Ray with the Hutch Davie Orchestra. Barry & Jyrki/Pekka state that it was written by Rudy Clark. Also recorded by Maxine Brown] [Jyrki/Pekka added that it was also recorded by Timi Yuro & that a cover version by Freddie & The Dreamers hit #3 in the UK in '63] 'Cause if I see you sighin' on that shoulder of his Oh how I'll be cryin' knowin' how sweet that is So while that guy is holding you the way I did the-e-e-e-en #19) Bobby Rydell: "I'll Never Dance Again" (62) [14] [co-written by Barry Mann] It's a cold, cold world I'm livin' in I turn my back and there you are with my best friend Oh, sometime we pass on the street, darlin' And you looked at me and would say "I'm sorry, my sweet" Maybe just sayin' "I'm sorry" would be enough But then you look back at him with your perfect smile And that make me feel kinda rough #20) Percy Sledge: "It Tears Me Up" (66) [20] {7} [coincidentally, the above lyrics appeared in the alt.rock-n-roll.oldies newsgroup recently as one of NormK's Daily Oldies Questions] And when you hold me tight My poor heart skips a beat But when I hear you say That you will go away And leave me some day #21) Soul Sisters: "I Can't Stand It" (64) [46] 'Cause that's all that a man can do When he loves a woman like I love you And I love you (love you) love you (love you) love you (love you) Ooh-ooh-wee I love you #22) Joe Tex: "I Want To (Do Everything For You)" (65) [23] {1} [Rick commented that it hit #96 for the Raeletts in '70] [written by Joe; #1 for 3 weeks on R&B charts] Oh, there is a fair young maiden I love her and she loves me She is kind and understanding Filled with personality #23) Tokens: "I Hear Trumpets Blow" (66) [30] [written by the Tokens (Jay Siegel, Mitch & Phil Margo, Hank Medress), noted Barry] (That's good, baby that's good) Honey babe, I like the way that you walk by I like the way you swing your eye #24) Andy Williams: "I Like Your Kind Of Love" (57) [8] [Written by Melvin Endsley. On the original 45, the artist specification is: "Andy Williams, Andy's Girlfriend played by Peggy Powers, orchestra conducted by Archie Bleyer" commented Barry] So I'm a-packin' my bags I'm gonna be home soon I'm gonna knock at your door Chase away your blues A-woman, nobody else can ever take your place A-woman, nobody else can do the things you do #25) Jackie Wilson: "I'm Comin' On Back To You" (61) [19] {9} Tie-breakers: Somewhere above, there is a heaven (ah-ah-ah-ah-aaaah) Somewhere above, there is a sta-a-ar #T1) Earls: "I Believe" (64) [Barry said they formed in the Bronx, NY. Lead singer Larry Figueiredo is from Philadelphia and attended high school with Chubby Checker, Danny Rapp (of Danny & the Juniors) and Frankie Avalon. Group member Larry Palumbo died in 1960 after a two-month coma from a blood clot that developed while parachuting in the army. When the Earls perform "I Believe," it is dedicated to the memory of Palumbo. The stirring lyrical introduction (my quiz lyrics) and bridge was written by Larry Figueiredo. The demo of the song was released as the finished master, much to the surprise of the Earls] [Rick added that it hit #2 in '53 for Frankie Laine & #33 in '64 for the Bachelors] [also accepted Larry Chance & The Earls as the valid artist] God made the ocean and (God made the sea) But when God made you (He must have thought of me) As I walk the sunny street (my heart starts jumpin' and skips a beat) The only girl from high above (the only girl I'll ever love) Bada-bada boo tee-ay-tee-ay (bada-bada boo tee-ay-tee-ay) Bada-bada boo tee-ay-tee-ay (bada-bada boo tee-ay-tee-ay) #T2) Imaginations: "Guardian Angel" (61) [Barry stated the group formed in Bellmore, Long Island, at a luncheonette near Mepham High School . The group included Frank Mancuso (lead singer) of Mepham High along with Wantaugh High Schoolers Bobby Bloom (first tenor), Phil Agtuca (second tenor), Pete Agtuca (baritone), and Richard LeCausi (bass). They practiced songs by the Paragons, Jesters, Dubs, Blue Notes, Del-Vikings, and the Drifters. The group became popular (locally) on the WMGM sponsored Saturday shows at Palisades Park, NJ, and on Murray-the-K's shows in 1961] [originally done by the Selections (of course, an acceptable artist)] _______________________________________________________________________________ My theme was that 26 song titles begin with the letter "I". I could've said that for every song on the quiz, the title &/or artist begins with the letter "I", but since only 3 artists did, I didn't think that would contribute enough to a main theme.
