Attentive listeners to this classic "love generation" song will also hear the "Marseillaise", "Greensleeves", some Bach, a lick from "In the Mood", and "She Loves You" woven in. The song was written in May '67 as a message to the world and was shown being recorded in June as part of the first live worldwide TV program, "Our World." It was released as a single in the U.K. two weeks later, where it took 5 days to reach #1. Jamie states: "Mick Jagger & Keith Richards sang in the chorus." Delphi Trivia Club remarks: "It was included on the Magical Mystery Tour album in 1967, even though it didn't appear in that film. Then in 1968 it appeared again on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack album, and it does appear in that film." Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet #02) Pat Boone: "April Love" (1957/58) [1] {-} #1 for 6 weeks, on the Pop charts for 26 weeks; from the movie of the same name, starring Pat Boone and Shirley Jones; B-side: "When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano." Do you think she loves you? Do you think at all? Soon she's going to fly away Sadness is her own Give herself a bath of tears And go home #03) Buffalo Springfield: "Bluebird" (1967) [58] {-} David Ewing said that it was written by Stephen Stills and appears on their second album, "Buffalo Springfield Again." Mitch H. and Barry C. point out, "People from the West Coast have an advantage on this one. It did not chart in Detroit or Chicago." Pete Olden commented: The group was: Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Richie Furay all doing vocals and guitars, Dewey Martin on drums, and Bruce Palmer who was later replaced on bass by their engineer Jim Messina. They came from the US and Canada, and met in LA in mid '60s. Looking out the window of their manager's house on Fountain Ave. in Hollywood, they watched a Buffalo Springfield steamroller [Buffalo Springfield is to the steamroller industry what Ford is to the automobile industry] and took their [unsymbolic] name from it. The group's creative genius and wonderful melodies and harmonies are not at all reflected in their only Top 40 hit "For What It's Worth," IMHO. Their musical abilities are more apparent in this song, written by Stills, particularly in the 9-minute version from which the single was extracted. Oh, S.O.S. me, mama, Switch me to heaven, get me through Telephone operator, my lovin' future hangs on you #04) Freddy Cannon: "Buzz Buzz A-Diddle-It" (1961) [51] {-} The Boston area's own Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon still tours, and performed in Boston this June 10th. This song was derived from music by a high school "garage" band and lyrics added by Frank Slay and Bob Crewe. Tony Weatherly relates that it was a hit in the UK for Matchbox in the mid '70s. Barry Silk writes, "A Connecticut group, the Saturday Knights, provide the backing. This is Cannon's favorite of his songs." Don't you know I love her so And that I'll never, never let her go No matter what the people may say or try to do #05) Dave Clark Five: "Can't You See That She's Mine" (1964) [4] {-} Written by Dave Clark and Mike Smith; it was one of their dozen top 20 songs in the two years following their March '64 "Ed Sullivan Show" appearance. From the Great White North, Denis says, "On some Canadian releases the title is listed as 'Can't You See That She Is Mine'." Save it for a rainy day For love may come and tap you on the shoulder Some starless night And just in case you feel you want to hold her #06) Perry Como: "Catch a Falling Star" (1958) [1] {-} B-side: "Magic Moments." Perry is ranked by Whitburn's books as the top singles artist of the '50's, ahead of Eddie Fisher, Nat "King" Cole, Patti Page, Frankie Laine, and Frank Sinatra. This is Perry's only "gold" (i.e., Record Industry Association of America-certified million-selling) single. Jamie notes this song was on the charts for 23 weeks. Denis says: "The single was backed with 'Magic Moments', an early Burt Bacharach-Hal David composition (the second, I believe, for the earliest I am aware of was Marty Robbins' 'Story Of My Love')." The EJs purport that backing vocals were sung by the Ray Charles Singers. Gee, I feel just about ten feet tall Havin' a ball Guess you might call me a Pollyanna #07) Doris Day: "Everybody Loves a Lover" (1958) [6] {-} Her last top-10 hit, ecrit Denis. The song's middle portion is an overdubbed self-duet. The EJs mention that Day is accompanied by Frank DeVol's orchestra, and that this song was a hit for The Shirelles in 1962-63. Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms Makes me love you more each day In your arms I wanna stay Wanna thank you for the joy you've brought me #08) Elgins: "Heaven Must Have Sent You" (1966) [50] {9} Written by Holland-Dozier-Holland; redone by Bonnie Pointer in 1979. The way you treat me is a shame How could you hurt me so bad? Baby, you know that I'm the best thing that you ever had Kiss me once again #09) Aretha Franklin: "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" (1967) [9] {1} The EJs note: "Written by Ronny Shannon. Produced by Jerry Wexler. A landmark record for Aretha: her 1st Top 10 hit, her 1st million- seller, and her debut on Atlantic Records, the label on which she recorded all her hits during the rest of the '60s and '70s. Recorded in the Fame studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, using the same rhythm section that had worked with Wilson Pickett." The 1st woman inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One can talk about being in love Two can say how it really feels One can wish upon a star Two can make that wish come true, yeah #10) Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston: "It Takes Two" (1967) [14] {4} Partly written and produced by Weston's husband, Motown's Mickey Stevenson. The other cowriter, Jamie relates, is Sylvia Moy who also co-wrote Honey Chile, Ma Cherie Amour, etc. The EJs add that the song was produced by Stevenson and Henry Cosby. Kim Weston's biggest hit. But I cry, because your love has passed me by You took me by surprise You didn't realize that I was waiting Time goes slowly but carries on And now the best years have come and gone #11) Guess Who: "Laughing" (1969) [10] {-} Written by the group's Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings; B-side: "Undun." The EJs write: "A million-seller, produced by Jack Richardson, who produced all but one of The Guess Who's 21 hits." The Delphi Triviots mention that the band is from Winnepeg, Manitoba. Love of a woman is a wonderful thing (oh yeah) But the way we treat 'em is a cryin' shame (oh yeah) One day, one day, and it won't be long (oh yeah) 'Til all these fine girls'll be gone (oh yeah) #12) Eddie Holland: "Leaving Here" (1964) [76] {n/c} Sung by the last third of the song's writers, Holland-Dozier-Holland. The Crandalls got this because Ron is familiar with The Who's version, recorded in July 1964 when they were known as The High Numbers. I thought we had a love so strong It would take a lifetime to break us apart, oh yeah But I found out today I was wrong #13) Gladys Knight & the Pips: "Letter Full of Tears" (1961/62) [19] {3} One of a handful of pre-Motown singles. Yesterday we were together And life was sweet Today you're gone My life is sad #14) Claudine Longet: "Love is Blue (L'Amour est Bleu)" (1968) [71] {-} "... / And love is blue." Mostly in French, this spoken section in the middle is in English. French conductor Paul Mauriat's orchestral version spent 5 weeks at #1 the same year. Funny how precious memories linger on So long after you've gone Now precious memories that only make me cry But I keep holdin' on Oh, why do I? #15) Martha & the Vandellas: "Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" (1965/66) [70] {22} Written by Holland-Dozier-Holland; the B-side of "You've Been in Love Too Long." Stir carefully through the days See how the flavor stays These are the dreams you will savor With His blessings from above Serve it generously with love #16) Dean Martin: "Memories are Made of This" (1955/56) [1] {-} With Orchestra conducted by Dick Stabile. #1 for 6 weeks; on the charts for 24 weeks. The EJs elaborate: "Dean Martin's biggest hit, a million-seller. Capitol Records reportedly didn't want Martin to record the song, but Dean thought it had potential. The folk trio The Easy Riders--made up of the song's three writers, Terry Gilkyson, Richard Dehr, and Frank Miller--provided the backing vocals. Also hits for Gale Storm and Mindy Carson in 1955-56, and for The Drifters in 1966. No arms but your arms can banish all my fears No charms but your charms could last a thousand years #17) Johnny Mathis: "No Love (But Your Love)" (1957/58) [21] {-} With Ray Conniff and His Orchestra; B-side: "Wild is the Wind." Well, I've played this game with other hearts But I never thought I'd see The day when someone else would play Love's foolish game with me #18) Ricky Nelson: "Poor Little Fool" (1958) [1] {3} The first single to top Billboard's newly introduced "Hot 100" pop chart; written by Sharon Sheeley, who along with Gene Vincent survived the car crash which killed her boyfriend, Eddie Cochran. Aside from "Travelin' Man", this song was the teen idol's only #1 hit. Ricky represents the middle link of three generations of Nelsons to sit atop the pop charts (father Ozzie in 1935; sons Gunnar and Matthew in 1990). Jamie adds, "Hit #3 on C&W charts." The Crandalls write: "According to folklore, she hid on Nelson's street waiting for him to appear, then gave him the song. She didn't think he'd take her seriously, so she told him that her father had written the song, and that he was going to give it to Elvis Presley. Ricky first recorded the song as a throw-away album track, then released it as a single when it received a good reaction." Wrap your presents to your darling from you Pretty pencils to write, "I love you" #19) Roy Orbison: "Pretty Paper" (1963/64) [15] {-} A Christmas tune written by Willie Nelson and sung by the man Elvis (that's Presley, not Costello, young 'uns) once proclaimed had the best voice in rock and roll. Barry mentions that it was recorded in London. Rick Schubert adds: "Also #27 on the Christmas charts in December 1964. Oh, carry my loved one Home safely to me She sailed at the dawning All day I've been blue #20) Platters featuring Tony Williams: "Red Sails in the Sunset" (1960) [36] {-} Yet another successful Platters' rerecording of a big hit (#1 for both Bing Crosby and Guy Lombardo in 1935). Denis writes: "This song first charted in 1935. It was also recorded by a variety of artists from Bing Crosby to the Beatles. Here are some of them: Louis Armstrong, The Beatles, Bobby Bland, Frank Chacksfield, Nat 'King' Cole, Perry Como, Crazy Otto, Bing Crosby, Martin Denny, Fats Domino, Pete Drake, Tab Hunter, Jack Jackson, Spike Jones, Sammy Kaye, Guy Lombardo, Mantovani, Dean Martin, The Originals, Sandy Stewart, Jerry Vale, Billy Vaughn, Dinah Washington, Young-Holt Unlimited and can also be heard on the soundtrack release of 'The Way We Were'." T.P. opines, "My favourite version is the one recorded by Ray Sharpe for the flip side of his 1959 hit 'Linda Lu'." Never missing an opportunity for the last word, the EJs add, "It's a British song that first caught America's attention in the Broadway musical 'Provincetown Follies'." We had a quarrel A lovers' spat I write, "I'm sorry" #21) Elvis Presley: "Return to Sender" (1962/63) [2] {5} With the Jordanaires. Sold more than 2 million 45s (EJs). Perhaps The King's biggest hit not to reach #1; B-side: "Where Do You Come From"; both from the Elvis movie, "Girls! Girls! Girls!" Co-written by Otis Blackwell, who also penned "Don't Be Cruel" and "All Shook Up." The Delphi Trivia Club noted that Elvis did not reach #2 again until his comeback in 1969, when he had his last number 1 hit with "Suspicious Minds." I'm married to the universe My brother is the sky Stars can see to make a wish And hearts with wings can fly So come with me and see, my love So we can never die #22) Rascals: "See" (1969) [27] {-} Written by lead vocalist/organist Felix Cavaliere; off the album of the same name. My love is yours, baby Oh, right from the start You, you, you possess my soul now, honey And I know, I know you own my heart #23) Diana Ross and the Supremes: "Someday We'll Be Together" (1969/70) [1] {1} Diana's grand swan song with The Supremes before going solo (and being replaced by Jean Terrell). Upon the occasion of their final engagement together (in Las Vegas, with this song still on the charts), Ed Sullivan, on whose show the Supremes appeared 20 times, wired them: "Tonight one of the greatest attractions of the '60s becomes two of the greatest attractions of the '70s." Jamie elaborates, "actually recorded by just Ross with some Motown studio musicians & singers; the last #1 song of the 60s." The EJs conclude, "the last #1 song for The Supremes, with or without Ross." Ever since that night we've been together Lovers at first sight, in love forever #24) Frank Sinatra: "Strangers in the Night" (1966) [1] {-} From the movie, "A Man Could Get Killed." Jamie: "'66 Grammy Record Of The Year." EJs: "The music was written by German orchestra leader Bert Kaempfert, with lyrics by Charlie Singleton and Eddie Snyder. Ernie Freeman's orchestra backed Sinatra on this million-seller." Song giving rise to the famous graffiti: "To do is to be"--Kant; "To be is to do"--Goethe; "Do-be-do-be-do"--Sinatra. Now that you've left me How can I live Through another day? #25) Sonny and Cher: "What Now My Love" (1966) [14] {-} John Politis notes that the song was also recorded by Mitch Ryder, Jean-Paul Vignon, and Herb Alpert (instrumental). Rick Schubert adds that it was written in France in 1962 by Gilbert Becaud as "Et Maintenant." Unbeknownst to listeners in 1966, the surprising answer to the song's title would eventually turn out to be: "a critically acclaimed acting career and federal elective office." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tie-Breakers ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Turnin', turnin', turnin' I'll be yearning, yearning For love's precious flame #T1) Kay Starr: "Wheel of Fortune" (1952) [1] {-} #1 for 10 weeks; one of only 25 or so post-World War II singles to sit atop the pop charts for 10 weeks or more. Some other acceptable artists: The Bell Sisters, The Cardinals, Dinah Washington, Bobby Wayne, and Eddie Wilcox & His Orchestra. Redone in 1960 by LaVern Baker. EJs: "Bobby Wayne's was his biggest hit. Henri Rene's Orchestra accompanied the Bell Sisters on their version. And Eddie Wilcox's recording--his only Top 20 hit--featured Sunny Gale on vocals. In the rock era, The Knightsbridge Strings charted with an instrumental version in 1959." T.P. offers: "To me, the best example of exquisite early fifties East Coast doo-wop, along with the Clovers' 'Skylark,' also on Atlantic." And crave the love You threw away The time will come When you'll be blue #T2) Hank Williams & His Drifting Cowboys: "Your Cheatin' Heart" (1953) [25] {-} "... / Your cheatin' heart / Will tell on you." The EJs wrote: "It was written by Hank, and his version was a #1 C&W hit. It was also his last single to make the Top 25; it did so three months after his death on January 1, 1953. But Joni James' recording was a bigger pop hit, a million-seller. In the rock era, George Hamilton IV charted with it in 1958, Ray Charles in 1962, and Billy Vaughn And His Orchestra did an instrumental version in 1959." One of the classic C&W recordings, selected to the Grammy's Historic Recording Hall of Fame; #1 on the country charts; the B-side of "Kaw-Liga", itself a #1 country hit. This song is a prime example of what a friend once described as "what truckers a thousand lonely miles from home and driving across Oklahoma tune their radios to." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Puzzler Answers ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #P1) Yo!

The Dutch Officials got 9, Dave Tartaglia got 8, and Tom O'Connor, Team Teitelbaum, and Sanford Stein solved 7. Many other entrants figured out some of the anagrams. We are pleased that many people enjoyed the puzzler, but we were very disappointed that only the Schuberts made any attempt to comply with our submission instructions. In their GOLQ78 entry, they included a scanned image of the back of a US$20 bill with the border containing the complete set of puzzler answers.

What's more, all 27 songs are in alphabetical order by title as well as by artist. Theme IDed by: the Crandalls, Team Silk, Tom O'Connor, the Schuberts Whole Lotta Love All songs contain a form of "love" in the title or lyrics, a feature hinted at by the opening lyrics of the quiz. Theme IDed by: the Crandalls, Team Silk, Tom O'Connor, the EJs, the Schuberts, the Baileys, and Delphi Trivia Club. Minor themes: Top Of The Charts Songs #01, #02, #06, #16, #18, #23, #24, and #T1 were #1 Pop Hits. #09 was a #1 R&B hit, #T2 was a #1 Country hit, and #14 and #20 were #1 hits by other artists. Theme IDed by: the Crandalls, the EJs Clues You Can Use Veering from usual practice, we did not hesitate to choose lyrics containing significant words from their titles, namely songs: #01, #02, #06, #10, #18, #19, #20, #22, and #24.
