I would write a melody that would tell her Create a spell for her Ring a bell for her And let her know how much I fell for her #01) Arbors: "A Symphony For Susan" (1966) [51] {-} Two sets of brothers, Ed and Fred Farran and twins Scott and Tom Herrick. Their name was taken from Ann Arbor, home of U. of Michigan where they formed. Jo Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona For some California grass #02) Beatles featuring Billy Preston: "Get Back" (1969) [1] {-} TT: The group had known Preston since 1962; he was then a 16-year old member of Little Richard's backing band, and they had shared the bill with Richard at the Star Club in Hamburg, West Germany. Bryan: The last song they ever performed live together (on a London rooftop). I realize the way your eyes deceived me With tender looks that I mistook for love So take away the flowers that you gave me And send the kind that you remind me of #03) Anita Bryant: "Paper Roses" (1960) [5] {16} Former Miss America runner-up. Time will bring the foreign plain Through the airs that brought the rain But in the gardens of the moon Time is held within the silver spoon #04) Bubble Puppy: "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" (1969) [14] {-} Sage words to ponder from Bubble Puppy. Ed Toutant of Lori Bailey's team spoke with the original drummer for this group at an Austin TX street festival a few days ago. According to David Fore, the drummer, "Time will bring the fire and flame, Surely as it brought the rain" are the correct words. You can check out his new group, the Eggmen, at www.eggmen.com In the land of the dreamy scenes A-there's a Garden of Eden A-you know what I mean #05) Freddy Cannon: "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans" (1959) [3] {14} From the suburbs of Boston, Freddy "Boom-Boom" Cannon is a local favorite.

Bob Keene, of Del-Fi records, used a gimmicky kettle drum sound on this and also was one of the first to use a classical style string section. He rocks in the tree-top all the day long #08) Bobby Day: "Rock-In Robin" (1958) [2] {1} JR: The singer's real name, according to Dave Marsh, was Bobby Byrd how unfortunate. You saw us together, so you ought to know Just why I feel like I do Do me a favor I beg of you, Joe Play me a heartache or two When a romance sours, smiles are just a lie #09) Johnny Desmond: "Play Me Hearts and Flowers (I Wanna Cry)" (1955) [6] {-} There's an ample number of apple trees Seven million fish in the seven seas Lots of apple trees, more than seven seas #10) Four Lads: "There's Only One Of You" (1956) [10] {-} If you did then you would surely know Love is like the flowers Takes a lot of hours If you really want to know #11) 4 Seasons Featuring the "sound" of Frankie Valli: "Watch The Flowers Grow" (1967) [30] {-} I'm not kidding myself I know just where I fit in your plans So don't you start kidding yourself I'm not the fool you think I am Oh, you toy with me just like I was your rubber ball #12) Grass Roots: "Only When You're Lonely" (1966) [98] {-} Their not too-successful second single. P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri would re-form the group a year later with the line-up that included Rob Grill as lead singer. Now I'm as blue as I know how to be I can't call you on the phone I can't even see you at your home So I'm sending you this present #13) George Hamilton IV: "A Rose And A Baby Ruth" (1956) [6] {-} And it makes trees grow tall And the most important thing of all It makes a boy and girl, oh Say they feel so fine now (feel so fine) #14) Deon Jackson: "Love Makes The World Go Round" (1966) [11] {3} I have tried to make you love me I've done everything your way And I'm crying for the words you'll never say You think love is an illusion That must end in sad conclusion If that's what you feel, that's just how it will be #15) Just Us: "I Can't Grow Peaches On A Cherry Tree" (1966) [34] {-} They were Chip Taylor, who wrote "Wild Thing", and Al Gorgoni. Time to let the rain fall without the help of man Time to let the trees grow tall, now if they only can Time to let our children live in a land that's free #16) Kingston Trio: "Ally Ally Oxen Free" (1963) [61] {-} Co-written by Rod McKuen, who also wrote #19. Could it be we were hot-wired? Late one night, while very tired They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it With a bottle in each hand, too late to try to understand We don't care where it lands, we just throw it #17) The Mamas & The Papas: "Safe In My Garden" (1968) [53] {-} Similar in theme to "For What It's Worth". Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium #18) Van Morrison: "Brown Eyed Girl" (1967) [10] {-} This verse is sometimes edited out by radio stations. Roses are red All the leaves have gone green And the clouds are so low You can touch them and so Come out to the meadow #19) Oliver: "Jean" 1969) [2] {-} JR: This song was theme from the film "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie". Written by Rod McKuen. The way she moves her hips up to her fingertips I feel I'm heaven bound And when she starts to sway, I've gotta say She really moves the grass around #20) Elvis Presley: "Rock-A-Hula Baby ("Twist" Special)" (1961) [23] {-} Maybe over there I'll get a start Only hope by leavin' I don't break his heart The more important part Than any record on the chart #21) Rose Garden: "Next Plane To London" (1967) [17] {-} And a walk in the garden Wears me down Tangled in the fallen vines Pickin' up the punchlines #22) Simon & Garfunkel: "Fakin' It" (1967) [23] {-} Paul's drug-induced thoughts on what job he might have had 100 years ago. He was stunned to learn his grandfather, also named Paul, had in fact been a tailor in Vienna. He also immediately called his dealer. Beverly Martyn was the voice for "Good morning, Mr. Leitch" and was also a friend of Donovan's. You can't see the forest for the trees #23) Stone Poneys Featuring Linda Ronstadt: "Different Drum" (1967) [13] {-} Mike Nesmith wrote this. No paint was on the door (no paint was on the door) The grass grew through the floor (the grass grew through the floor) Of Tony's two by four (of Tony's two by four) #24) Andy Williams: "The Bilbao Song" (1961) [37] {-} One of my sisters was a big Andy fan. I know this song not from the radio, but from his Greatest Hits album which was constantly played for a few months. The sun is shining, yeah Stars are bright, yeah Everything's fine, love, yeah Baby, everything's right A-yeah-yeah-yeah, baby, everything's right A-yeah-yeah-yeah, baby, everything's right #25) "You Know Who" Group!: "Roses Are Red My Love" (1964) [43] {-] British sounding, but no information on who these people actually were. IS: They played masked on stage. ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- And she shows you where to look Among the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There are children in the morning They are leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever #T1) Leonard Cohen: "Suzanne" (1967) [-] {-} Several: Noel Harrison had a charting version (out of the seemingly hundreds of versions). JF: I remember Noel Harrison, in an appearance on some comedy-variety Show (Smothers Bros. perhaps?) in a skit where he sang this song and kept getting interrupted and having to start over again and again. Prince Charming, I will be on two white steeds To bring you dappled, diamond crowns And climb your tower, Sleeping Beauty 'Fore you ever know I've left the ground You can wear a Cinderella, Snow White, Alice Wonderlanded gown Come watch the low colors fade, blazing Into petaled sprays #T2) Mitchell Trio: "Violets Of Dawn" (1966) [-] {-} Notable for introducing us to John Denver. They started out as the Chad Mitchell Trio and were known for political/satirical songs like the "John Birch Society". Jim McGuinn was an early member. Renamed themselves when Chad dropped out. This pretty Eric Andersen song received some airplay in Boston. Eric didn't fit alphabetically as an artist for T2, unless someone has an Aaron and the Aardvarks album with a version of Suzanne on it. ----------------------- This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to the least recognized.
