#40 - COME TOGETHER by THE BEATLES
Despite being the B-Side, the higher charting #1 Hit from their "Abbey Road" LP. (See #98 if you've already forgotten what I told you earlier!)
#39 - LET IT BE by THE BEATLES
The End of An Era
#38 - LOVE CHILD by DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES
A pretty heavy topic, even for 1968 ... but that didn't stop it from going straight to #1 on all the charts ... and spending an average of three weeks there.
#37 - HELLO GOODBYE by THE BEATLES
Perhaps their least-deserving #1 Record ... and a HUGE one at that!
#36 - I GOT YOU BABE by SONNY AND CHER
Still popular enough today that it sometimes feels like Groundhog's Day for real!
#35 - WE CAN WORK IT OUT by THE BEATLES
Another "Double A-Side" by The Fab Four.
I seem to remember hearing "Day Tripper" more often ... but this is the side that went to #1.

#34 - I FEEL FINE by THE BEATLES
Yikes! Five #1 Songs by The Beatles out of this hour's ten tracks! Shows you again just how big they really were!
#33 - THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN by THE ANIMALS
The Animals added a whole new dimension to The British Invasion Sound with this one ... feeding us back our American Blues with their own special spin and interpretation. A classic in every sense of the word.
#32 - SOMETHIN' STUPID by NANCY AND FRANK SINATRA
A Daddy-Daughter Duet that went all the way to #1.
As big as it was, you never hear this one on the radio anymore.
(And we don't need to hear it a lot ... but it WOULD make a great, unexpected "Wow Factor" song two or three times a year.)
And #33 and #32 show you the musical diversity that WAS the '60's ...
where else ... and when else ... were you going to hear "The House Of The Rising Sun" played back-to-back with "Somethin' Stupid" by Nancy and Frank Sinatra?!?! (Why, Forgotten Hits, of course!!!)

#31 - DIZZY by TOMMY ROE
After a number of years off, Tommy's out touring again ... we'd love to see him come to Chicago this year!
