Listening for the umpteenth time to 07/26/1969
Joe mentions that Neil said Sweet Caroline was inspired either by Caroline Kennedy - or by his wife at the time, Marcia.
Well, it isn't called Sweet Marcia, so there's a clue.
The same week as Chappaquiddick and two months from the debut of The Brady Bunch. Small world!

Listening now to Top 100 of 1965. What a great year. But - "trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock 'n' roll" still bugs me. I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock 'n' roll What is like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock 'n' roll? I assume he meant telling the listener about "the magic". Okay. But what about the magic is being told? And what about telling the listener about the magic is like trying to tell a stranger about rock and roll? And what is the big deal with telling a stranger about rock and roll? And what is being told about rock and roll? And why a stranger as distinguished from a familiar person? Other than needing to introduce yourself, and possibly not including some profanities, why would the information be conveyed differently in any way than if it had been told to someone you already know? Wow, Joe, you just gave a very brief emotionless introduction to Shake. What do you have against Sam Cooke?  |

Chris, I was somewhat disappointed that I didn't say Sam was caught in the act (so to speak) and tragically shot by a motel manager that felt threatened by a 'naked' man. I think I did attempt an intro that said that but didn't like it and went with a more sedate intro (as you implied). By the way, I am finished with the additional 1960's countdowns and will be posting them soon. |

It's a good idea to not post something if you have a doubt. Someday I might begin heeding that advice myself.  I'm looking forward to the new shows, and I know I'm not alone! We love the shows. |

I was surprised that Can't You Hear My Heartbeat finished the year higher than Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter. I thought it was a weird Cash Box thing. But no. It was also higher in Billboard's Top 100 of the Year and Vince showed here that it had more points. at40fg.proboards.com/thread/4951/billboards-singles-charts-revised-versions?page=2It was in the Top 40 for 2 1/2 months. I guess that was a long, long time for 1965! What a year those boys had. |

Chris, you will remember this was the same year that Cashbox made "Back In My Arms Again" the #1 record of 1965--so take the validity of the Top 100 of 1965 with a grain of salt. SMH |

SMH I know, right? #37 on Vince's list. I always think of Satisfaction first even though Wooly Bully or Back in My Arms Again or whatever. But maybe we're conditioned by our old Whitburn books to think of the song with the most #1 weeks as number one for the year. It's hard to break away from that impression. |

There's definitely something fishy about this 06/03/1967 Cash Box Countdown
COME ON DOWN TO MY BOAT
then the next hit
TOO MANY FISH IN THE SEA & THREE LITTLE FISHES
and the fish won't bite for the Music Explosion
and about a week late for FRIDAY ON MY MIND

I don't know who did the calculations for the annual Top 100 on Cashbox. I mentioned to Joe about the omission of "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" from the 1969 countdown. I think there was a song listed twice--maybe "Easy To Be Hard?" What about proofreading?

Anyway, here is a countdown from 1964--June 27, 1964 to be exact. Enjoy, Joe archive.org/details/cbc-1964062701 |

Everything seemed so bright and new and colorful. And I remember my sister taking me to see A Hard Day's Night. A HUGE deal! Someone my age now - then - would be remembering the summer of 1904. Ouch. |

Enjoy, Joe archive.org/details/cbc-1964062701There wasn't much in the way of the Beatles performing in the Top 40 in late June through mid July. I wonder if any of the experts thought that maybe their time was about to run out, even knowing the movie was on its way. I'm surprised that more songs from Please Please Me weren't released in the spring. It's a great LP. |

October 1969
And That Reminds Me by the Four Seasons - yikes it sounds SO MUCH like Philly Disco from '73 or '74. Was Barry White involved? I can't think of an earlier disco-sounding hit.
