Subsequent versions that made the Pop and/or R&B charts include Teresa Brewer (1955), Roy Hamilton (1958), Johnny Tillotson (1960), Laura Greene & Johnny McKinnis (1969), and Oscar Weathers (1972).] Why don't you stop And look me over? #02) Barbara Acklin: "Am I the Same Girl" (1969) [79] {33} [Barbara's vocal is overdubbed over the hit instrumental track "Soulful Strut" by Young-Holt Unlimited. Covered by Swing Out Sister in 1992.] We vowed to love each other 'Til the end of time One day soon, I hope the Church bells will chime #03) The Bell Notes: "Old Spanish Town" (1959) [76] {-} Shouldn't we stop and look around?

The group was signed by producer Jerry Ross; he and Kenny Gamble saw kids at a Philadelphia record hop do a new dance called "The 81" to the Martha & The Vandellas hit "In My Lonely Room." Gamble & Ross then wrote this near-soundalike tune to capitalize on the popularity of the dance.] Will you try to give one little thought to me? Though someone else may be Nearer your heart #06) The Chimes: "Once in Awhile" (1960/61) [11] {-} [Previously used in GOLQ 10. Originally a hit in 1937/38 for Tommy Dorsey & His Orch., Horace Heidt & His Orch., and Louis Armstrong. Also a hit in 1952 for Patti Page. All the earlier versions give the title as "Once in a While."] But my love for you, girl, still remains the same I've been loving you And you've been loving me so long Baby, what's wrong? #07) Judy Clay & William Bell: "Private Number" (1968) [75] {17} The general is a man whose true love ran away The colonel found his sweetheart in another's arms The captain also learned that love just doesn't pay #08) Paul Evans: "The Brigade of Broken Hearts" (1960) [81] {-} And as I looked around The lights were going down And this is what I found #09) The Five Keys: "Ling, Ting, Tong" (1954/55) [28] {5} [Previously used in GOLQ 46.

A two-sided hit, backed with "Mambo Rock." The original song #11 was Robert Goulet's rendition of "What Kind of Fool Am I?". Unfortunately, as Bob Bluestein noticed, the version by Sammy Davis Jr. was used in GOLQ 161. Since this violates the minimum dormancy requirement of 50 quizzes, it was replaced with the above. Although they eventually identified the replacement song #11, the Genateam won the coveted "Best Mock Threat to the Quizmaster for Replacing a Song They Knew for One They Didn't Know" award. Their award-winning threat was: "Unfair play substituting No.11 with an unknown item for a really easy item. We're answering with the original No.11. If you penalise us for doing so, a great big boxing kangaroo will come around and beat the livin' beejezzuz out of you."] Now you're a woman and I'm a man And it's me that you're kissin' Ain't it fun reminiscin'? #12) The Intruders: "Cowboys to Girls" (1968) [6] {1} [Previously used in GOLQ 10.

(1966) [2] {-} [Previously used in GOLQs 12 & 86. The group's lead guitarist, Zal Yanovsky, died in December 2002. The late Andrew Rogers' annotated tab for this song noted that the "organ" background is actually Zal's Guild Thunderbird guitar, with the treble rolled off.] Once I believed that when love came to me It would come with rockets, bells, and poetry But with me and you It just started quietly and grew #16) Mama Cass: "It's Getting Better" (1969) [30] {-} [Written by the great husband-and-wife songwriting team of Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil.] When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes But now, you're walkin' 'round like you're front-page news You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose But you won't find my name in your book of "Who's Who" #17) The Monkees: "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" (1966/67) [20] {-} [Previously used in GOLQ 64.

All five of their charting Atco releases in 1962-64 were covers of pop tunes from the 1920s/30s. "Whispering" was originally a hit for Paul Whiteman & His Orch. in 1920. It was covered in 1920/21 by Art Hickman & His Orch. and by John Steel. The song was then revived in 1951, with versions by Les Paul and by Gordon Jenkins & His Orch. In 1954, Whiteman himself charted with a re-recording of the song.] And when I'm feelin' blue And I want you There's just one thing That you should do #25) Brenton Wood: "Gimme Little Sign" (1967) [9] {19} [Previously used in GOLQ 31.] ------------ Tie-breakers: ------------ I was really good to her But now she's broke my heart She looked so young and she seemed so sweet But I was wrong from the start #T1) The Byrds: "She Has a Way" (1964) [-] {-} [Written by Gene Clark. Recorded in 1964, during the group's extensive rehearsal sessions at World Pacific Studios. After an unsuccessful single on Elektra in late '64 (under the pseudo-British name of "The Beefeaters"), they signed with Columbia Records and rose to fame in early '65 with "Mr. Tambourine Man." Much of the World Pacific material, including "She Has a Way," was finally released on their 1969 LP, "Preflyte."] Someone come knockin' at my back door Somewhere along about midnight Someone come knockin' at my back door Somewhere along about midnight #T2) The El Dorados: "Bim Bam Boom" (1956) [-] {-} [Similar-sounding follow-up to "At My Front Door."
