I feel the room swayin' While the band's playin' One of our old favorite songs from way back when #02) Louis Armstrong And The All Stars: "Hello, Dolly!" (1964) [1] (n/a) Has its place in trivia circles as the song that broke the Beatles' first streak of weeks at #1 at 14 (Bobby Vinton: "There! I've Said It Again" was at the front end of the streak.) Never, never, never, never, never Never hear me when I cry Baby, I cry all the time #03) Big Brother And The Holding Company: "Piece Of My Heart" (1968) [12] {-} HT: The 30th anniversary of Janis' premature death occurred during this quiz. Let's begin the celebration Let's declare a holiday Send the wedding invitation To the neighbors right away #04) Mindy Carson: "Wake The Town And Tell The People" (1955) [13] {-} Am I correct in hearing what you said That you would rather be with him instead You say that you could travel with him far Say he's got a brand new Cadillac car #05) Coasters: "Wait A Minute' (1961) [37] {-} A lesser-known Coaster's song that received decent airplay in Boston. Just like a king, I've lost everything I sit all alone on my throne I've got my pride but deep down inside I'm yours and yours alone #06) Sam Cooke: "I'll Come Running Back To You" (1957) [18] {1} Just sweet sixteen, and now you've gone They've taken you away I'll never kiss your lips again They buried you today #07) Mark Dinning: "Teen Angel" (1959) [1] {5} I've been looking for a song of his titled "The Pick-Up" for a while now. And in my arms that hold you tight You will forget the darkness of the night The world knows of our sadness And we are not alone #08) Toni Fisher: "West Of The Wall" (1962) [37] {-} Song that was inspired by the Berlin wall crisis. And then you'll have to go to war To try and save your home And then you'll have to learn to hate You'll have to learn to kill It's always been that way, my son I guess it always will #09) Bobby Goldsboro: "Broomstick Cowboy" (1965) [53] {-} Bobby's first record was also war-related. "Molly" was about a soldier returning home from the war blind, without his family knowing his condition. As music played The faster did we dance We felt it both at once The start of our romance #10) Herman's Hermits: "No Milk Today" (1967) [35] {-} Used this in my first GOLQ (#114). I can't believe you married And get it through my head And every time it crosses my mind, I wish that I were dead Today, I saw you passing "Hello" was all I said And bless my soul, you looked at me And you turned your pretty head #11) Jimmy Jones: "That's When I Cried" (1960) [83] {-} Jimmy's follow-up to "Good Timin'" went nowhere, although it is a really good song. Two guesses of Eddie Holman: "This Can't Be True", and they were both right, it wasn't. And my reward was a broken heart Here comes the teardrops, welcome a-welcome to my eyes And I couldn't hold 'em back no matter if I tried, woe-woe-oh You know it hurt me so inside Won't you pardon me while I cry #12) Gladys Knight & The Pips: "Letter Full Of Tears" (1961) [19] {3} Written by Don Covay, it would be six years before Gladys saw the Top 20 again. When I am kissed, I want his lips to really kiss me When we're apart, I want his heart to really miss me I want to know he loves me so his eyes are misting That's the way I want to be loved #13) Brenda Lee: "I Want To Be Wanted" (1960) [1] {7} In 1960, I listened to a lot of AM radio. I heard "I'm Sorry" several times a day that summer. At the end of the year, I looked at a Top 100 chart and saw it as the #1 song that year. This was listed as #4. Oddly, I don't remember ever hearing this song that year and only became aware of it when I saw the Top 100 chart. And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong That's a lot to learn #14) Lulu: "To Sir With Love" (1967) [1] {9} Recognized by everyone this quiz. We read the paper as we laid on the floor Smokin' that last cigarette Nothing was said for an hour or more But I can never forget How the time was passing by, the shadows fell I never noticed when the rain stopped #15) Barry McGuire: "Cloudy Sunny Afternoon (Raindrops)" (1966) [62] {-} After his war protest songs and before his Christian music career began, Barry sang this pleasant little song that received limited airplay in the early summer of 1966. I can still remember, it wasn't long ago Things you used to tell me, you said I had to know You told me that you loved me, and that you always would Then I said I loved you, you said that that was good Girl, you made a promise, said you'd never want me to go #16) 1910 Fruitgum Co.: "Indian Giver" (1969) [5] {-} Several: Covered by the Ramones. When I was small I felt ten feet tall When I walked by his side #17) Paul Petersen: "My Dad" (1962) [6] {19} Debuted on one of the great tear-jerker episodes of the Donna Reed show. Some people never get, some never give Some people never die and some never live Some folks treat me mean, some treat me kind Most folks just go their way, don't pay me any mind #18) Pozo-Seco Singers: "Time" (1966) [47] {-} CC: Pozo Seco means 'dry well'. Don Williams would emerge from this group as a C&W star, but it was Susan Taylor singing lead on this, their debut song. And as the days grow old, the nights grow cold, I want to hold her near to me, I know she's dear to me And only time can tell, and take away this lonely hell I'm on my knees #19) Barry Ryan: "Eloise" (1968) [86] {-} Epic production written by his twin brother, Paul. Probably received more airplay in Boston than most U.S. cities. LE: In some markets, the recording act was identified on the record label as "Paul and Barry Ryan." AT: "Eloise" got back in the charts with the version made by the British punk group The Damned. A singer called Tino Casal did a version contemporary to the previous one and topped the charts in Spain. Casal died of Aids about five years ago, but a remix of "Eloise" was top five during this summer (one of the few cases when a dead artist sold more records than during his lifetime). You say that you want me and now that you've got me you're gone Think what you're doin' or else you'll regret what you've done Don't come back tomorrow and say what we did wasn't right You'll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night #20) Searchers: "Have You Ever Loved Somebody" (1966) [94] {-} Another interesting Hollies song that, like "Tell Me To My Face" by Keith, only charted when done by another artist. TP: A wonderful drum sound. Incidentally, I think this was one of the first songs they recorded after long-time drummer Chris Curtis was replaced by John Blunt -- no offence meant to Chris! Written by "L. Ransford," i.e., Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks & Graham Nash of the Hollies. Recorded by the Hollies themselves on the 1967 LP "Evolution" (and in 1966 they'd backed the Everly Brothers on their "Two Yanks in England" LP, which also includes a version). Every girl wants someone who She can always look up to You know I love you, of course Let me know that you're the boss #21) Joanie Sommers: "Johnny Get Angry" (1962) [7] {-} Joanie is also remembered for singing Pepsi-Cola jingles. And when he placed a kiss upon my face Then I knew, oh then I knew That he won my heart So I quickly apologized Hoping he hadn't changed his mind #22) Supremes: "When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes" (1963) [23] {n/a} One of their last singles before their rise to mega-stardom. Because when you do unto others What you wouldn't want done to you You'd have to be a fool This mutual agreeement of love and trust Let them travel the road to marriage or bust #23) B. J. Thomas And The Triumphs: "Billy And Sue" (1966) [34] {-] Another war-related song first released in 1964. I walked to Apollo by the bay Everywhere I go #24) Three Dog Night: "Eli's Coming" (1969) [10] {-} Written by Laura Nyro. Then the people came from miles around Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer Then his fame spread out from shore to shore He had all he could do and more Had to buy a plane to get around #25) Leroy Van Dyke: "The Auctioneer" (1956) [19] {-} ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- Oh lordy, how I wish, mama You could keep the baby quiet 'Cause my head's killing me I seen my ex last night, mama At a dance at Miller's store She was with that Jackie White, mama I killed 'em both And they're buried under Jenkin's sycamore #T1) Eddie Noack: "Psycho" (1957) [-] {-} Some may recognize it by the line "you think I'm psycho, don't you, mama." Also recorded by Leon Payne and Beasts of Bourbon. AT: Written and first recorded by the great blind country writer/ performer Leon Payne ("Lost Highway", "I Love You Because"). TP: One of the three greatest songs titled "Psycho" (the others being by the Sonics and Bobby Hendricks). Several: Covered by Elvis Costello (several teams submitted his name as the artist, but unfortunately, his version was released well after 1969). I wrote her that we'd be married, in about one year's time I wrote it in a box car, on the Memphis line I sent my love the letter without no stamp And what good is a letter without no stamp #T2) Them: "I Gave My Love A Diamond" (1965) [-] {-} Trivia experts should note this as the song being sung at the toga party in Animal House, when John Belushi ripped the guitar from Stephen Bishop's hands and smashed it to pieces. ============================================================================== This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recognized.
