This was the flip side of "Do You Wanna Dance". IMHO, one of the best Beach Boys' songs ever. I can't understand why it didn't chart higher and doesn't get the radio airplay it deserves. As I write this letter Send my love to you Remember that I'll always Be in love with you #02) Beatles: "P.S. I Love You" (1964) [10] {-} Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, of course. Howard Teitelbaum comments: Recorded in 10 takes and mixed to mono on 11 September 1962, and released as the B-side of "Love Me Do" in the U.K. on 5 October. It subsequently appeared on their debut LP "Please Please Me" (released in March '63). On this recording, journeyman drummer Andy White displaced Ringo. Why? Between the 6 June audition and their next recording session (4 Sept), Ringo had replaced Pete Best as the group's drummer; producer George Martin was dissatisfied with Ringo's drumming on 4 Sept, and so booked White for the 11 Sept date. On 11 Sept, Ringo played tambourine on a re-make of "Love Me Do," and maracas on the recording of "P.S. I Love You." Ringo was back in the drummer's chair to stay starting with their next recording session on 26 November. Come, come, I love you only My heart is true Come, come, my life is lonely I long for you Come, come, look at me face you My arms are aching Long to embrace you I love you only Come, come, I love you truly #03) Blue Notes: "My Hero" (1960) [78] {19} The EJs comment: The first Top 100 song for the Philadelphia soul group, and the only song of theirs to hit the pop chart for 12 years---until the 1970's when they would become much better known as Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes. The song itself was originally a hit for an opera soprano, Lucy Isabelle Marsh, in 1910; it is from the Broadway musical "The Chocolate Soldier." Howard adds: A #2 hit for Lucy Isabelle Marsh in 1910, from the Broadway musical "The Chocolate Soldier." Also recorded by Ralph Flanagan & His Orchestra in 1949 (pop #27). Mike Weaver mentioned an acapella version by Vito & the Salutations. She can be covered with a rash Long as she got some cash #04) Contours: "First I Look At The Purse" (1965) [57] {12} Written by Smokey Robinson and Robert Rogers. Produced by Smokey Robinson. These lyrics are the last lines of the song as the music fades out. The Delphi Trivia Club comments: Their biggest hit was "Do You Love Me?" in 1962. "First I Look At The Purse" covered (with more punch but less finesse) by J.Geils Band in their albums "J.Geils Band" and "Full house". Well I feel so good, everything is set on high You better take it easy 'cause the place is on fire Been a hard day, nothin' went too good, Now I'm gonna relax, honey, everybody should #05) Spencer Davis Group: "Gimme Some Lovin'" (1968) [7] {-} Jamie says it was written by Spencer along with brothers Steve & Muff Winwood. Howard adds it featured an incredibly mature sounding 18-year-old Steve Winwood on lead vocals. The EJs say: Written by Steve Winwood; produced by Chris Blackwell and Jimmy Miller. Winwood was 17 years old when he wrote the song, which became the Spencer Davis Group's biggest hit. Winwood's later group, Traffic, Etc., recorded it in 1971. It was also used on a 1978 disco single by Kongas, and the Blues Brothers recorded it for the soundtrack of their movie in 1980. Baby loves me Yes, yes she does Ah, the girl's out of sight, yeah Says she loves me Yes, yes she does Mmmm, gonna show her tonight, yeah #06) Neil Diamond: "Cherry, Cherry" (1966) [6] {-} The EJs comment: Composed by Neil Diamond; produced by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich. A live version from Diamond's "Hot August Night" album also charted in 1973. The Delphi Trivia Club noted this was Diamond's first charted hit. I kiss 'em and I love 'em Cause to me they're all the same I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em They don't even know my name #07) Dion: "The Wanderer" (1961) [2] {-} Jamie notes it was written by Ernie Maresca and backed by the Del Satins. The EJs add: produced by Gene Schwartz. Leif Garrett also recorded the song in 1978. EJ'S team member Vinnie recalls a good spoof on the song about Ted Kennedy entitled "The Philanderer." The Delphi Trivia Club say this was the follow-up to "Runaround Sue". UK #12 in 1962 and #16 in 1976. I have been told it was a country #1 in 1988. Like I was walkin' on a tightrope Swingin' in the breeze And though I try to keep my balance Well I just weaken in the knees #08) Connie Francis: "Fallin'" (1958) [30] {-} Written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. They also teamed to write "Where The Boys Are", "Stupid Cupid" and "Frankie" for Connie. Greenfield also co-wrote "Breakin' In A Brand New Heart" and "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" for her. Among his many other songs, Greenfield also co-wrote "Charms" for Bobby Vee (see #22). I've changed girls in my life As often as I've changed my shoes #09) Marvin Gaye: "Your Unchanging Love" (1967) [33] {7} Jamie notes it was written by Holland, Dozier & Holland; produced by Dozier & Brian Holland. The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him #10) Hollies: "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" (1969) [7] {-} Jessica Raine comments: A paean to Graham Nash's glorious tenor, and the harmonies foreshadow some of the things he was later to sing with friends Crosby, Stills and Young. Jamie adds: This song is based on the Father Flanagan Boys Town poster caption "He ain't heavy, father, he's my brother." Lyricist Bob Russell passed away while the song was in the top 10. Initially done, but never released, by Joe Cocker. Elton John plays piano on the Hollies' version. Rick Schubert notes that this was covered by Neil Diamond (#20 in 1970) and Olivia Newton-John (1976). A friend of a Delphi Trivia Club member reports: The track was reissued and reached #1 in 1988 in the UK (a TV beer commercial push, if my memory serves me well). Previously recorded by Kelly Gordon and Joe Cocker. Piano on track played by Elton John. Ninety days Thirty days for boog-a-loo Thirty days to learn how to shing-a-ling And thirty mo' for the Afro-twist #11) Shorty Long: "Here Comes The Judge" (1968) [8] {4} Written by Frederick "Shorty" Long, Billie Jean Brown and Suzanne De Passe. Shorty also co-wrote "Devil with the Blue Dress". Rick comments: there were also songs by this title in 1968 by Pigmeat Markham (#19), The Magistrates (#54), and the Buena Vistas (#88), but Whitburn's "Top Pop Singles 1955-1993" designates these as being different songs, all based on a running gag on "Rowan & Martin's Laugh In". Shorty Long's real name was Frederick Earl Long. Jamie adds that the record intro is by Sammy Davis Jr.; Judge played by Spinners' bass singer Pervis Jackson. So many days you passed me by You saw the tears standing in my eye You wouldn't stop to make me feel better By leaving me a card or a letter #12) Marvelettes: "Please Mr. Postman" (1961) [1] {1} The EJs comment: Written by Brian Holland, Robert Bateman, William Garrett and Georgia Dobbins; produced by Brian Holland and Robert Bateman. The first #1 song for a Motown label (Tamla), it was also the first and biggest hit for this girl group from Inkster, Michigan, #1 on the R&B chart for 7 weeks. A 22-year-old Marvin Gaye plays the drums. Garrett had written it as a blues song, but original group member Dobbins (who dropped out before the recording session to take care of her sick mother) rewote the lyrics overnight. The last #1 song for The Carpenters, in 1975, and a minor hit for Gentle Persuasion in 1983. The Beatles recorded a version which did not chart. Favorite line sung by lead Gladys Horton: "Delivah da lettah/De soonah da bettah!" We have so much in common It's a phenomenon We could pool our resources By joining forces from now on #13) Johnny Mathis: "Small World" (1959) [20] {-} Jessica and the EJs comment: This is from the Broadway musical "Gypsy." Written by Stephen Sondheim and Jule Stein. With the Glenn Osser orchestra. Although your love wasn't right for me Good for another it well may be Some girls just aren't made for some guys Now I've got to make myself realize #14) Miracles: "My Girl Has Gone" (1965) [14] {3} Written by Smokey Robinson, Marvin Tarplin, Warren Moore, and Ronald White. Produced by Smokey Robinson. Talk about a girl with a sweet disposition You ought to have a room full of ribbons And wear them in your hair everyday of the week for me #15) Kenny O'Dell: "Beautiful People" (1967) [38] {-} Written by Kenny O'Dell, who worked with Duane Eddy at one time. He also wrote Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors". Bobby Vee had a version out at the same time as O'Dell. Vee's version charted slightly higher at #37. The doctor told me, boy, you don't need no pill Just a hand full of nickels and a jukebox will cure your ill #16) Carl Perkins: "Boppin' The Blues" (1956) [70] {-} Written by Carl Perkins and Curly Griffin. Perkins is probably best known for writing and recording "Blue Suede Shoes". Well they say that goin' steady is not the proper thing They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring I only know I love, love you and that you love me too Oh darling this is what I ask of you #17) Elvis Presley: "Wear My Ring Around Your Neck" (1958) [2] {1} Written by Bert Carroll and Russell Moody. Tom O'Connor says: This held the record for the highest debuting song on the Hot 100 for a long time. The first week on the chart it came in at #9! Amazingly, it never made it to #1. The EJs add: #1 on the R&B chart for three weeks, a two-million seller. Included on the album "Elvis' Gold Records-Volume 2." Rick notes: recharted in 1983 on the Country charts as the "B" side of "I Was The One". And the Lord said now that I've made a bird I'm gonna look all around for a little old word Sounds about sweet like turtledove And I guess I'm gonna call it love And He roamed the world looking everywhere Gettin' love from here, love from there And put it all in a little old part Of my baby's heart #18) Jimmie Rodgers: "Honeycomb" (1957) [1] {1} The EJs comment: Rodgers' first and biggest hit, a million-seller. First recorded by Georgie Shaw in 1954, "Honeycomb" was rearranged by Rodgers to match his style. He sung it as his audition for Roulette Records, and won the job. Backed by Hugo Peretti's orchestra. TV viewers may recall that the song was used as the theme in commercials for the breakfast cereal Honeycombs. You say you'll always be proud of me Well, I'm gonna see that you do, baby I'll be nobody, nothing If I do what you want me to #19) Royal Guardsmen: "Baby, Let's Wait" (1965) [35] {-} Written by Pamela Sawyer and Lori Burton. They also teamed to write "I Ain't Gonna Eat My Heart Out Anymore" for the Young Rascals and co-wrote "I'm Living In Shame" for the Supremes. According to the Gypsy's Caravan, this was originally done by the Rascals. You can tell her by the way she walks You can tell her by the way she talks And you can tell her by the way she smiles I guarantee you It would drive you wild #20) Edwin Starr: "Stop Her On Sight (S.O.S.)" (1966) [48] {-} Written by Albert Hamilton, Edwin Starr and Richard Morris. Starr also wrote "Oh How Happy" and co-wrote "Agent Double-O Soul" and "Twenty Five Miles". Hair soft like a baby lamb And I love to run my fingers through it I hope she digs me the way I am #21) Temptations: "My Baby" (1965) [13] {4} Written by William "Smokey" Robinson, Warren Moore and Robert Rogers. They teamed to write "Come On Do The Jerk" for the Miracles. See how they sparkle in the sun Ding dong ding Listen to them ring They seem to be telling everyone That you're my baby #22) Bobby Vee: "Charms" (1963) [13] {-} Written by Helen Miller and lyricist Howard Greenfield. They teamed to write "Foolish Little Girl" for the Shirelles and "It Hurts To Be In Love" for Gene Pitney. Greenfield teamed with Neil Sedaka on many songs: "Alice In Wonderland", "Calendar Girl", "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Little Devil" among them. They also co-wrote several songs for Connie Francis, including "Fallin'" (see #08). Jamie says Vee performed this with the Johnny Mann Singers. Get yourself a girl now Get out on the floor now Dance like you never danced Get down on your knees now Do the sweet pea now #23) Jr. Walker & the All Stars: "Do The Boomerang" (1965) [36] {10} Jr. Walker & the All Stars, an R&B group, formed in South Bend, Indiana. Jr. Walker was born Autry DeWalt II in Blythesville, Arkansas. It was written by Henry Cosby, Autry DeWalt and Willie J. Woods. DeWalt also co-wrote "Cleo's Mood", "Shotgun", "Shoot Your Shot", "Tune Up" for the All Stars to name a few. Cosby co-wrote several songs for Stevie Wonder: "Uptight (Everything's Alright)", "Fingertips", "I Was Made To Love Her", "My Cherie Amour" and "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day". Woods co-wrote other songs for the All Stars including "Cleo's Back". The EJs and Jamie note that Jr. Walker died from cancer recently. Oh Oh Oh Silly Lily You know she doesn't really Want you with a love that's true #24) Mary Wells: "The One Who Really Loves You" (1962) [8] {2} The EJs comment: written and produced by Smokey Robinson. First top 10 hit for Wells, and the first top 10 single by anyone on the Motown (not a subsidiary) label. Don't touch me baby Don't even call me on the phone #25) Kim Weston: "Love Me All The Way" (1963) [88] {24} Written by William Stevenson and Baldassare Ales. Stevenson co-wrote many other Motown songs including "Ask The Lonely", "Beachwood 4-5789", "Devil With The Blue Dress", "Needle In A Haystack", "Pride And Joy", "Playboy", and "He Was Really Sayin' Something". This was Kim's first charted hit. The Gypsy's Caravan was the only team to identify this song! ------------ Tie Breakers ------------ No one ever planned it But every day at four We would get together At the corner candy store We'd just ignore the sign "No Dancing Allowed" #T1) Lesley Gore: "The Old Crowd" (1963) [-] {-} Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. This song appeared on the flip side of "She's A Fool", although it probably deserved to be a single itself. Also recorded as a flip side by the Cookies in 1964 on their uncharted 45 "I Never Dreamed" (the Cookies last recording on the "Dimension" label. You're a girl that hates to see others happy Unless you're happy too So you've told the boy I love A lot of things that ain't true And it's breaking my heart Cause it's making us drift apart So humbly I ask of you to undo the wrong that you've done Please go to him Tell him before he finds someone new Cause if I ever lose him I don't know what I'll do #T2) Supremes: "He's All I Got" (1966) [-] {-} Written by Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, Eddie Holland and James Dean. One of the great Motown flip sides. This was the flip of "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart". Really Rockin' In Boston was the only team to identify this song. ______________________________________________________________________________ THEME - There was one mini-theme in this quiz: 11 songs are on the Motown (or subsidiary) label.
