Thanks, Joe. I'll plan on listening to the show in the next few days. Is the show for the week ending May 11th or is it April 11th? It's April 11th.  I'll be listening in a few days, too...when I get a break in the work schedule. Thank you, djjoe1960! |

Not much sleep last night due to strong storms and tornadoes in the area last night/into the early morning hours.

Going back 50 years ago, here are the Top 40 songs from Cash Box magazine for the week ending April 11, 1970. As the world continues to practice social distancing, the song at #35 is sorta eerily prophetic--especially if you've seen the pictures of nearly empty cities. The song at #31 never reached the Top 40 in Billboard and you'll hear from an artist that had 4 #2 hits on the Cash Box chart but never reached #1. Enjoy, Joe
Joe: Really appreciate the extra countdowns. Without looking, I'm guessing the song at #31 personally describes all the efforts you're doing to provide these shows. All you need is a cape and super powers. It's "mighty" good! |

The idea to do the Cash Box Countdowns grew out of a conversation with a friend of mine at lunch one day since both of us were Beatles fans and grew up listening to AT40, we wondered what some of the competition was like during the 1960's on the pop charts. My friend suggested since I was an ex-DJ why not do a countdown show of the hits from the 1960's-- and now here's the chart from February 15, 1964 from Cash Box Magazine. The countdown features the original version of Harlem Shuffle (a song the Rolling Stones had a Top 10 hit with in 1986), and also features a song that peaked at #41 on the CB chart that reminds us we are never alone.

Thank you Joe. Hope you are getting well you and your family during that terrible period. Thanks for the kind thoughts--I am doing OK (except for a pesky roof leak). Our governor here in Georgia is going to let some businesses reopen this week end and next week--I hope it isn't too soon. How are things in France? |

Glad to know you're fine.
France is going better and now we are about to face the end of the lockdown around May 11, it won't be easy to organize...

Since Kenny Rogers passed away over the week end, I posted a countdown featuring his first hit with the group The First Edition. It's from the Cash Box chart for the week ending March 30, 1968-- archive.org/details/1968033001By the way, the song at #1 didn't reach the top in Billboard. Thanks-- Joe This must have occurred to some folks back then. At the moment Kenny was on the radio somewhere singing from the Top Ten about being "eight miles outta Memphis", James Earl Ray was eight miles outta Memphis on some highway. |

Hey here's some Cash Box Countdown Trivia.
What 1959 motion picture inspired two Cash Box Top Ten hits between 1965 and 1969?
(There may be more than one answer to this question but I can think of only one).

It's another Pandemic Monday (with apologies to Prince and the Bangles)--And here's another Cash Box Countdown; this one from the week ending March 1, 1969. The show features a song by a singer born in 1913, a song by the Association that was the theme to a movie (did not make the Top 40), and a chart topper by a band out of England (a song that did not reach #1 in Billboard).

Time to catch up on another Cash Box Countdown--this one for the week ending March 9, 1968. A couple of observations--The Lettermen's medley of Goin' Out Of My Head / Can't Take My Eyes Off You--the music always sounded like the jazzy stuff played on the Jonny Quest cartoon; I wonder how many times the word 'No' is said in Nobody Like Me by the Human Beinz, and I correct Georgie Fame's poor geography in the song The Ballad Of Bonnie & Clyde. Enjoy, Joe
