Nice actually hearing the song that was name checked in Golden Earring's - Radar Love.
Always thought Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" was an odd choice...though it did rhyme.

Better get this in before I get too sleepy but I will make it through the rest of this show! Did not know the first 8 songs sans the top 3 recap. One of those was the Martha & the Vandellas song. Knew at least 4 of their top 10s that you mentioned. Funny how stations over the years don't play certain top 10 records. Did not know the Stones top 10 record either which means stations did not play it either. Similar thing with the Hollies. "Bus Stop" I am 10 times more familiar with than this followup although it is probably because the former is a much better song. B side that you played is better too. So about 10 years after Elvis has his 2 sides of a single hitting #1, he was straddling the edge of the top 40 with 2 sides of a single. You know the song you played by him from 1956 is the only one of the 4 you mentioned that I did not know. Liked that Sergio Mendes tune better than the foreign language song that WAS in the top 40. Imagine almost having 2 such songs in the top 40. Happenings have outdone Olivia. Her "Something Better to do" debuted at 19 and peaked at 13. They debuted at 17 and peaked at 12. As volatile as the charts are in the 60s, I am guessing something debuted even higher in the top 40 without hitting the top 10.

If you bought the 45 of the Outsiders version of "Help Me Girl", the label would look like this... Charles (Chuck) Mangione was the arranger/conductor. Scott English was the co-writer. He reached the Hot 100 in the early seventies with "Brandy", a song that Barry Manilow took to #1 after changing the name to "Mandy". Sonny Geraci would reach the Top 10 as a member of Climax in the early 70s, singing lead on "Precious And Few".

Nice show as usual. That Bobby Vinton song is the last #1 hit before the Beatles invaded. In case anyone is wondering why the chart date went from Nov. 26, 1961 to Dec. 1, 1962 in the same week of the year, in January 1962, the chart date shifted from being on a Monday to Saturday as it has been ever since.
That Frank Sinatra debuted and peaked at 25 with that children's song did not surprise me. But how did the Everly Brothers do the same at 22 with their song, a normal hit record? (Rhetorical question).

That's neat. 4 versions of "Everlasting Love". In 4 different decades and in 4 different sections of the top 40. 30s in the 80s, 20s in the 90s, teens in the 60s and top 10 in the 70s.
Great move playing that answer record. BTW, the son is correct that all wars are not necessary. They may have been all necessary as of 1960. Not so much since.

Great move playing that answer record. BTW, the son is correct that all wars are not necessary. They may have been all necessary as of 1960. Not so much since. I was looking forward to hearing the 'song' "An Open Letter to My Teenage Son" by Victor Lundberg also. In December of 1967 I was a 13 year old 8th grader, so I guess technically I was a "teenager", but the song was directed to the older teenagers in my opinion. I remember hearing the song occasionally on the one station I listened to at the time, but I really didn't remember it well. I'm sure I heard it at least 15 times, maybe as many as 50 times, but at the time I wasn't very interested in being lectured to by an adult who was 40-something, so I usually tuned the record out mentally, just like you do when a commercial comes on. I was listening for the music, not a speaking song. I had never heard any "answer letter songs" or even knew they existed, so I am glad you played the response right after the playing of the "lecture" song. I'm sure it had been 48 years since I heard that "song".
