I got a feelin' that you're gonna hear from us You're gonna know that we've taken the world by surprise Got that look in our eyes It's a lucky day #02) Association, The: Goodbye Columbus (1969) [80] {-} The title song from the 1969 movie, which made stars of Richard Benjamin and Ali MacGraw. T. P. Uschanov: Based on the novel of the same name by Philip Roth. Three years later Benjamin starred in an adaptation of another Roth novel, "Portnoy's Complaint," but that time The Association did not provide music. Boston, Massachusetts And don't forget New Orleans, the home of the blues #03) Brown, James, and the Famous Flames: Night Train (1962) [35] {5} Barry Silk: This is [teammate] Scooter's theme song for his Sunday Night Radio show on Washington's Oldies station (WBIG-100.3FM). Dear, you sure look fine Yes, you appeal to me I'll never set you free Be my lovin' baby till the end of time #04) Cleftones, The: Little Girl Of Mine (1956) [57] {8} Feels so good, take me by my hand Now it feels so goo-oo-oo-ood, take me by my hand #05) Diamonds, The: The Stroll (1957/58) [4] {5} I've searched this world This whole wide world Looking for a girl such as you I gave up my search when I looked into Your great big eyes of blue #06) Dubs, The: Don't Ask Me (To Be Lonely) (1962) [72] {-} No lips but yours No arms but yours Will ever lead me Through heaven's doors #07) Duprees, The: My Own True Love (1962) [13] {-} This song puts words to "Tara's Theme" from the movie "Gone With The Wind." Jimmy Clanton had a #33 hit with it in 1959. When I squeeze-ah my baby, mmmmm, what a time You know I'll please-ah my baby, mmmmm, all the time #08) Edwards, Jimmy: Love Bug Crawl (1958) [78] {-} He flies so high up in the sky Out of reach of human eyes And the only time that he touches the ground #09) Faithfull, Marianne: This Little Bird (1965) [32] {-} Tell you a story Happened long time ago #10) Harris, Thurston: Little Bitty Pretty One (1957/58) [6] {2} The Gypsy's Caravan: The 45, Aladdin 3398, shows The Sharps (later The Rivingtons) backing him up on vocals. When you walk that walk And talk that talk And whisper in my ear Tell me that you love me I love that talk When you talk like that You knock me out Right off my feet #11) Hooker, John Lee: Boom Boom (1962) [60] {16} Blues legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Lee Hooker died on June 21st at age 83. Born one of ten children of a Baptist minister, John Lee made more than 100 albums, including such songs as the above "Boom Boom" (covered by The Animals), "Boogie Chillen", "Dimples", and "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer" (covered by George Thorogood). His signature boogie beat influenced rock acts from Van Morrison to Jimi Hendrix. In 1961, The Rolling Stones opened a tour in Europe for him and Bob Dylan opened for him at Gerde's Folk City in New York. One of the J. Geils Band's most requested songs, "Serves You Right To Suffer", was written by Hooker. Said the band's lead singer Peter Wolf: "John Lee gave me the expression I always use and which became my motto: 'Only the best, and later for the garbage.'" This sentiment was reflected in Hooker's statement once in an interview: "Don't look back. You're here for the future." They say for every boy and girl There's just one love in this whole world And I-I know-ow I-I-I found mine #12) Hunter, Tab: Young Love (1957) [1] {8} Sonny James' version also hit #1 in the same year. I know his name His name is Jim I can't be blamed For loving him #13) Jelly Beans, The: I Wanna Love Him So Bad (1964) [9] {n/c} The Jersey City 4-female, 1-male group had this hit plus "Baby Be Mine," which reached #51, and then disappeared into Rock and Roll oblivion. I have loved you Since I found you You belong here Just look around you Keep your true love Or take your new love You must choose between us #14) Lulu: Best Of Both Worlds (1967/68) [32] {-} Written by Don Black and Mark London, who wrote "To Sir With Love." Produced, as with most of her singles in that period, by Mickie Most. Can't forget the Motor City #15) Martha & the Vandellas: Dancing In The Street (1964) [2] {n/c} The Mamas & the Papas also put out a version as the flip side of "Words Of Love" in 1966. Warm as the May wine Wild as the sea These are the feelings you waken in me #16) Mathis, Johnny: All The Time (1958) [21] {-} With Ray Ellis and His Orchestra. Thoughts all seem to stray To places far away I need a change of scenery #17) Monkees, The: Pleasant Valley Sunday (1967) [3] {-} Howard Teitelbaum & Bonnie Teitelbaum: Writers Gerry Goffin & Carole King have said that this song chronicles their brief, unpleasant stay in suburbia; specifically, Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange, NJ. How come my heart just hurts me Burning full of love and desire? How come every time she kiss me It sets my soul on fire? How come every time she leave me It seems like I've lost a part? #18) Price, Lloyd: I'm Gonna Get Married (1959) [3] {1} T. P. Uschanov: I've never quite understood why the (frankly quite annoying) back-up girls address someone named "Johnny," and not Lloyd. Split personality? They are wanting, wanting to hold you And if you would let them ho-o-old you Oh, how grateful I will be #19) Redding, Otis: These Arms Of Mine (1963) [85] {20} This was the soul singer's first single. The 1967 plane crash which took his life also killed four members of fellow Stax artists, The Bar-Kays. Otis would have been 60 years old this September. Dreaming of the someone you could be Life is a reality You can't always run away #20) Seekers, The: Georgy Girl (1966/67) [2] {-} The Australian quartet's performance of the title song from the movie, which starred Lynn Redgrave and James Mason. Written by Tom Springfield (Dusty's brother) and Jim Dale, this tune lost the Academy Award for Best Song of 1966 to "Born Free." True love must be the greatest thing I know now why singers sing Of the moon and stars above How I love to be in love #21) Shaw, Sandie: Long Live Love (1965) [97] {-} I'm sinkin' fast The very next day Might be my last #22) Teen Queens, The: Eddie My Love (1956) [14] {2} Sisters Rosie and Betty Collins. Keep the beat and bop it You can really rock it Just take your gal and hop it Don't you ever knock it You can never top it #23) Tony and Joe: The Freeze (1958) [33] {-} You know it takes a lot of kissin' to make a romance sweet Oooh, it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life complete #24) Washington, Dinah, & Brook Benton: Baby (You've Got What It Takes) (1960) [5] {1} This song was first recorded by The Spaniels two years earlier. Something that I haven't found Keeps me seeking greener ground Moving on from town to town #25) Wonder, Stevie: Travlin' Man (1967) [32] {31} ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- Saw a chick sittin' on the end I said, "Baby, can't we be friends? You look as sweet as you can be Come on down and drink with me" #T1) Dixon, Floyd: Hey Bartender (1955) [-] {-} The EJ's & Co.: The song was originally recorded by Floyd Dixon and His Band in New York City, November 10, 1954 and released as a single on Cat records in April 1955. It did not chart. The Blues Brothers version appears on their 1978 album "A Briefcase Full Of Blues." T. P. Uschanov: One of the most truly criminally underrated R&B vocalists of the 40s and 50s. Stood around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for change Killed the Tsar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain #T2) Rolling Stones, The: Sympathy For The Devil (1968) [-] {-} The first cut on the album "Beggars Banquet," their last complete album recorded before Brian Jones' departure from the group in 1969. "Street Fighting Man" was the only cut off the album released as a single in the U.S. ============================================================================= This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recognized.

P. Uschanov, The Wicked Boys, and Will McCorry. (We apologize if we haven't mentioned everyone who solved it.) The full quote: He was quite a good guitar player. Later on, after he'd gone on his own with his own label, we bumped into him on the street and asked him to come by and sit in ... he played this guitar solo for "On Broadway". This quote from Mike Stoller explains how he and songwriting partner Jerry Leiber happened to get their former apprentice and Philles label owner, Phil Spector, to join in on a recording session of The Drifters. Leiber & Stoller were inducted into the Roll and Roll Hall of Fame in its second year of existence, 1987. The Drifters were inducted a year later and Phil Spector the year after that.
