Now that you know who you are What do you want to be? And have you travelled very far? Far as the eye can see #02) Beatles, The: "Baby You're A Rich Man" (1967) [34] {-} Beamer & Trav: From the "Magical Mystery Tour" soundtrack, though originally intended for "Yellow Submarine." The B-side of the 60's anthem, "All You Need is Love," it took just one 6-hour recording session to complete. The trumpet-like instrument throughout is in fact an early synthesizer called a Clavioline (played by John). Howard Teitelbaum and Bonnie Teitelbaum: Recorded May 11, 1967, for the "Yellow Submarine" movie. Released as the B-side of "All You Need Is Love" on July 7, so it was not included on the movie soundtrack LP. However, it was included on the late-'67 "Magical Mystery Tour" LP. ("MMT" was a 6-song double-EP in the U.K., but due to the unpopularity of the EP format in the U.S., an LP was issued, with Side 2 being a catchall of 5 other songs from '67; this LP was finally released in the U.K. in 1976.) While shepherds watched their flock by night Them see a bright new shining star Them hear a choir sing The music seemed to come from afar #03) Belafonte, Harry: "Mary's Boy Child" (1956/57) [12] {-} EJ's: A beautiful Christmas song featuring William Lorin's orchestra. In 1978, the West Indies vocal group Boney M paired "Mary's Boy Child" with "Oh My Lord" for a Christmas single of their own. Funny how a word can mean everything That's why I want you to talk to me To hear you say my name, I'd do anything Only you can decide what my future will be #04) Benton, Brook: "Think Twice" (1961) [11] {6} The R&B singer and songwriter was born Benjamin Franklin Peay in South Carolina, 1931. It should never, ever end If it's wrong to really love you I'll forever live in sin #05) Bernard, Rod: "This Should Go On Forever" (1959) [20] {12} A Louisiana R&B singer/guitarist. You know I'm hooked for you, mama That's why you sling your weight around Ahhh, but as long as your lovin' beats your arguin', little girl I'll never put you down #06) Charles, Ray, and His Orchestra: "But On The Other Hand Baby" (1961/62) [72] {10} The flip side of "Unchain My Heart." "The Genius" was in the first group of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Now you turn to the left when I say "gee" You turn to the right when I say "haw" #07) Checker, Chubby: "Pony Time" (1961) [1] {1} EJ's: One of Checker's two #1 hits, the other being "The Twist," which was #1 twice (in 1960 and 1961); "Pony Time" was #1 in Winter 1961, sandwiched between the two "Twist" chart appearances. "Pony Time" also charted for The Goodtimers in 1961. A little bit of lovin' makes everything right And I'm gonna see my baby tonight #08) Crickets, The: "Oh, Boy!" (1957/58) [10] {13} EJ's: Music and lyrics by Sonny West, Bill Tilghman and Norman Petty; produced by Norman Petty. Originally written as a country song, but transformed by The Crickets into a rockabilly hit. Rick Schubert: The A-side of "Not Fade Away." Now don't you fret Don't you worry 'bout me 'cause I'll never forget How much you mean to me I'll love you, I'll love you my whole life through #09) Darin, Bobby: "Irresistible You" (1961/62) [15] {-} EJ's: A cover of the 1960 single by R&B singer Bobby Peterson. L'Equipe: Flip side: "Multiplication," from the motion picture "Come September." When she kissed me I was born Then she said goodbye Then I knew right away I was born to cry Now I'm happy and the joke's on her #10) Dion: "Lovers Who Wander" (1962) [3] {16} Jamie Lubin & Barbara Cruse: Written by Ernie Maresca and Dion. Cole & Cole: As part of the introduction, these lyrics are not on all golden oldie versions of this song. EJ's: The Del Satins provide the backup vocals. L'Equipe: Flip side: "(I Was) Born To Cry." Who cares what picture you see When you're hugging with your baby last row in the balcony? #11) Drifters, The: "Saturday Night At The Movies" (1964/65) [18] {n/c} EJ's: Johnny Moore as the lead singer. This is the last Drifters song to chart in the Top 20. That's how this refrain goes So come on Join in everybody #12) Gore, Lesley: "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" (1965) [13] {-} From the Frankie Avalon movie "Ski Party," in which Lesley appears. Someone's dropped a bomb somewhere Contaminating atmosphere and blackening the sky #13) Hedgehoppers Anonymous: "It's Good News Week" (1965/66) [48] {-} EJ's: Produced by Jonathan King. The only charted single for the British rock group. L'Equipe: A bunch of Royal Air Force guys who recorded the song for a laugh. And when we take our stroll Tonight if it's cold We'll cuddle up close And baby, baby, baby, I'll kiss you, baby We'll be as one A-yeah, yeah, yeah, I love my baby We'll have some fun #14) Jive Five (featuring Eugene Pitt): "I'm A Happy Man" (1965) [36] {26} EJ's: The last single to chart for the quintet from Brooklyn, their second most successful, after "My True Story." Come-a come-a come-a come-a come come-a come-a Yaaaaaaay-yay-yay-yeah #15) Jones, Jimmy: "Handy Man" (1959/60) [2] {3} EJ's: Music and lyrics by Otis Blackwell and Jimmy Jones. During the 1950's, Jones had recorded with the Sparks of Rhythm, a New York City vocal group, who first released "Handy Man." This was Jones' first and biggest solo hit, a million seller. Also recorded by Del Shannon (1964) and James Taylor (1977, a Top 10 hit). Howard Teitelbaum and Bonnie Teitelbaum: Primarily written by Otis Blackwell, but Jones modified it enough to merit co-writer credit. Del Shannon's 1964 cover is quite similar to Jones', while James Taylor's 1977 version, at a much slower tempo, more closely resembles the Sparks of Rhythm version. Say that you love me Say that you need me Say that you want me Ain't gonna leave me #16) Lulu and the Luvers: "Shout" (1964,1967) [94] {-} EJ's: Lulu's first charted song; it barely made the Hot 100 twice - in 1964 and re-released 1967, both times peaking in the 90's. It was also recorded by The Isley Brothers (1959, re-released in 1962), Joey Dee & the Starliters (1962), and The Chambers Brothers (1968). Wicked Boys: Also recorded by Otis Day (born DeWayne Jessie) and the Knights. High on a hill of happiness With someone that you've been dreamin' of You build a wall all around with a lot of lovin' All around your mansion of love #17) McDaniels, Gene: "Chip Chip" (1962) [10] {-} EJ's: The last of McDaniel's singles to chart in the Top 10. Backed by The Johnny Mann Singers. Just a passing glance Just a brief romance And I might have gone on my way empty-hearted #18) Morgan, Jane, and the Troubadors: "Fascination" (1957) [7] {-} EJ's: The music is a French melody, "Valse Tzigane." From the 1957 Gary Cooper-Audrey Hepburn film "Love In The Afternoon." Morgan's biggest hit on the pop chart. Also recorded in 1957 by Dinah Shore, Dick Jacobs And His Chorus And Orchestra, and David Carroll And His Orchestra (an instrumental version). From beyond the moat there arose such a clatter I jumped to the window to see what was the matter Like a bolt of lightning, it happened so quick And there in our midst stood old Saint Nick He began to dig down deep in his sack He came up with the traction for Igor's back #19) Pickett, Bobby "Boris", and the Crypt-Kickers: "Monsters' Holiday" (1962/63) [30] {18} EJ's: Produced by Gary Paxton. After the Halloween standard "Monster Mash" this novelty song is Pickett's most successful single. All the stars will tell the story Of our love and all its glory Let us take this night of magic #20) Presley, Elvis: "Surrender" (1961) [1] {-} Beamer & Trav: Recorded in Elvis' second post-war session, on the 30th and 31st of October, 1960. "Surrender" has the distinction of being the only non-religious/gospel track coming from this session. Delphi Trivia Club: Adapted from the Italian song, "Come Back to Sorrento." You listen while I talk to you now Tell you what we're gonna do now There's a new thing a-going around, yeah #21) Redding, Otis: "Shake" (1967) [47] {16} Howard Teitelbaum and Bonnie Teitelbaum: "Live" recording, covering Sam Cooke's first posthumous hit (1965). Long before your arms can beg me stay For one more hour or one more day After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall #22) Sinatra, Frank: "Softly, As I Leave You" (1964) [27] {n/c} "The Chairman Of The Board," perhaps the most famous popular singer of the 20th century, died on May 14, 1998. At the 1994 Grammy Awards, Bono of U2 introduced him by saying, "Rock and roll people love Frank Sinatra because Frank has got what we want - swagger and attitude. He's big on attitude." EJ's: Matt Monro had recorded it in 1962, but his version failed to crack the Hot 100. Come in here, woman, stop all that yakety-yak Don't make me nervous when I'm holding a baseball bat #23) Turner, Joe: "Honey Hush" (1959/60) [53] {-} EJ's: Music and lyrics by Joe Turner. A remake of Turner's million-selling 1953 recording which was #1 on the R&B Chart. This was Turner's last charted single. Rick Schubert: Cordella Dimata recorded an answer song titled, "I Ain't Gonna Hush." My name should be "Trouble" My name should be "Woe" For trouble and heartache is all that I know #24) Twitty, Conway: "Lonely Blue Boy" (1959/60) [6] {27} Alice Perry: This song, written by Fred Wise and Ben Weisman, was originally recorded by Elvis as "Danny" (for the movie "King Creole"), but never released as a single. L'Equipe: Also recorded as "Danny" by (Sir) Cliff Richard on his very first album, "Cliff." And now you're slipping through my fingers Like the ripples in a stream Oh oh, darling, you can say How love has seen its day But I'll forever go on feeling blue #25) Wilson, Jackie: "The Tear Of The Year" (1961) [44] {10} The flip side of "My Empty Arms." ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ If your time to you is worth saving Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone #T1) Dylan, Bob: "The Times They Are A-Changin'" (1964) [-] {-} A classic, redone by many. Only Peter Antell hit the pop charts with the song (#135 in 1965). Easily one of the most recognizable tie-breakers ever, with a recognizability index of 16.7 (on a scale of 0.0 to 20.0). The previous most recognizable tie-breakers, with their indices: 19.4 Holly, Buddy: "Everyday" 18.2 Beatles, The: "Back In The U.S.S.R." 17.6 Rolling Stones, The: "Under My Thumb" 16.4 Armstrong, Louis: "What A Wonderful World" 16.0 Diddley, Bo: "Bo Diddley" Told the judge he did it for a thrill Got 60 days, spent it fine Thanked the judge for being so kind #T2) T. V. Slim: "Flatfoot Sam" (1957) [-] {-} Released originally on Argo 5277 as "Flat Footsam" [sic] by Oscar Wills, it was released again a couple of months later on Checker 870 as listed above.
