Still in my heart I pray There soon will come a day When I will have him all to myself #02) Marcie Blane: "Bobby's Girl" (1962) [3] {14} Susan Maugham's cover version hit #3 on the British charts. Sometimes I feel like a motherless child No one cares for me I've never known sympathy I hide my needs from the world with a smile But understand, I'm only a man #03) Jerry Butler: "Need To Belong" (1963/64) [31] {n/c} Written by the late Curtis Mayfield, who passed away on December 26, 1999. The quiz includes three of his compositions (songs #03, #12 and #13). Do I find Peace of mind? Yes I do #04) Chordettes: "Born To Be With You" (1956) [5] {-} A remake by Sonny James hit #81 on the pop chart in 1968. One more thing If I can't stand to see you smile At someone, sometimes If I can't believe you could be out with the boys Just having fun, sometimes If I accuse you when I didn't see And let that hearsay, hearsay torture me #05) Mitty Collier: "No Faith, No Love" (1965) [91] {29} The excellent follow-up to Collier's biggest hit, "I Had A Talk With My Man". Based on James Cleveland's gospel song "No Cross, No Crown". Where are you With a love oh so true And a hand that I can hold To feel you near as I grow old #06) Bobby Darin: "Dream Lover" (1959) [2] {4} The Paris Sisters' version hit #91 in 1964. I know someday we will meet again But I don't know exactly where or whe-e-e-n But baby if fate has its way We'll meet again some other da-a-a-ay #07) Dick & DeeDee: "The Mountain's High" (1961) [2] {-} This classic pop record was the first and biggest hit for the duo.

They're so sure we will part But I know deep in my heart That they are wrong #09) Dixie Cups: "People Say" (1964) [12] {n/c} The follow-up to their one and only number one hit, "Chapel of Love". Come on pretty baby We gonna rock, we gonna roll till the broad day light #10) Fats Domino: "I'm Ready" (1959) [16] {7} T.P.Uschanov commented: Written by Fats with Bradford & Lewis (who were they?), who also wrote "Tears On My Pillow" for Little Anthony & The Imperials and "Right Now" for Gene Vincent. I left my baby and I feel so bad I guess my race is run #11) Bobby Fuller Four: "I Fought the Law" (1966) [9] {-} Mike Gessner noted that the original version of the song was recorded by the Crickets. There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own, believe me now Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner For there's no hiding place against the kingdom's throne #12) Impressions: "People Get Ready" (1965) [14] {3} Written by Curtis Mayfield. The song has become a standard recorded by countless others, including Jeff Beck & Rod Stewart, whose version hit #48 in 1985.

The first and biggest pop hit for Jackson, who had contracted polio at an early age and performed on crutches. As producer Carl Davis recalls, "This young man came out on these crutches, and I was a little taken aback. Then he began to sing, and I realized that in his mind, he wasn't handicapped. As a matter of fact, he had this wonderful gift of being able to communicate through the lyrics and tell a story." When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see #14) Ben E. King: "Stand By Me" (1961) [4] {1} Jessica Raine commented: "Used of course in the excellent 80s film of the same title, which introduced a lot of kids of my age to oldies rock". Ben E. King has said that "Stand By Me" was originally meant for the Drifters: "I had written it for them. Everyone had a part, the bass man had a part, it was really beautiful. George [Treadwell] came to me and said he didn't need it which really upset me. I had shown the lead part to Charlie boy but George just said, 'Naw, man, we got enough material. Thanks anyhow'. Later, I had my own session and Jerry Wexler was saying 'Do this, do that' and then we got to the end with 15 or 20 minutes left and he said, 'Do you have anything you'd like to do?' I said, 'I got one', and it was "Stand By Me". I had tears in my eyes when I sung it." I'll love and squeeze you A-ha, I'll try to please you 'Cause baby I want you to be my lovin' man #15) Brenda Lee: "That's All You Gotta Do" (1960) [6] {19} The flip side of "I'm Sorry". Well here I am Lord, knockin' at your back door Ain't it wonderful to be Where I've always wanted to be #16) Nilsson: "I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City" (1969) [34] {-} The similar-sounding follow-up to "Everybody's Talking". When it came to shooting straight and fast He was mighty good #17) Gene Pitney: "(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance" (1962) [4] {-} Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the movie starring John Wayne and James Stewart. However, the legendary director John Ford decided not to use the song in the film. I want you for my sweet pet But you keep playing hard to get I'm going around in circles all the time #18) Tommy Roe: "Dizzy" (1969) [1] {-} The second of Roe's two number one hits. Flowers are the things we know Secrets are the things we grow Learn from us very much Look at us but do not touch Phaedra is my name #19) Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood: "Some Velvet Morning" (1968) [26] {-} The last of the four Sinatra/Hazlewood duets that hit the Billboard charts. They say our love won't pay the rent Before it's earned our money's all been spent #20) Sonny & Cher: "I Got You Babe" (1965) [1] {19} Etta James also charted with the song (her version peaked at #69 in 1968). You belong to somebody else and not to me Right or wrong, that's not the way that it's gonna be I want you so much inside I'm throwing away all my conscience and pride #21) Dusty Springfield: "I'll Try Anything" (1967) [40] {-} A #13 hit in the UK. My every dream And every scheme They all include you Whenever I walk And each time I talk I find out that it's true #22) Timetones: "In My Heart" (1961) [51] {-} This uptempo doowop song is currently available on "The Doo Wop Box II: 101 More Vocal Group Gems From The Golden Age Of Rock 'N' Roll" (Rhino). Now that you've gone I'm left all alone All by myself to wander and roam #23) Richie Valens: "Donna" (1958/59) [2] {11} The flip side, "La Bamba" also charted and peaked at #22. Well I want you, I love you, I need you so much Why don't you give up with that magic touch You send me, you thrill me, baby you're so fine I want your lovin' baby all the time #24) Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps: "Lotta Lovin'" (1957) [13] {7} The record hit the Finnish top ten somewhat belatedly in 1964. We were out on a date in my daddy's car We hadn't driven very far There in the road, straight ahead A car was stalled, the engine was dead #25) J. Frank Wilson & the Cavaliers: "Last Kiss" (1964) [2] {-} The record was a number one hit on the Cash Box pop chart. Michael Gessner noted that the song was originally done by Wayne Cochran & the CC Riders. Jessica Raine wrote: "Recently re-recorded, for some inane reason, by Pearl Jam's lead singer Eddie Vedder. It was recorded as a special giveaway for members of some official Pearl Jam fan club, and proved so popular that they put out a mass release of the thing. It's not a bad cover, just completely unnecessary". Tie-Breakers: He tells me I'm pretty And then I feel pretty He says I make him happy And that makes me happy #T1) Cookies: "I Never Dreamed" (1964) [-] {n/c} Written and produced by Russ Titelman and Gerry Goffin and arranged by Carole King. The last of their five Dimension singles - the song on the flip side, "The Old Crowd", was also recorded by Lesley Gore, whose version was used as a tie-breaker in GOLQ#96. I met this chick, I thought I was hip She turned me so fast, she made me flip I worked all night, I worked all day At the end of the week I gave her my pay Doin' my work, throwin' garbage cans I looked up and saw her with another man #T2) Showmen: "Country Fool" (1961) [-] {-} The equally memorable flip side of "It Will Stand". _______________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to the least recognized. The third number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by the number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Rank Song Avg.

Otherwise here were no major surprises, although songs #19, #15, #08 and #03 did somewhat better than we thought they would. _______________________________________________________________________ ---Jyrki Ilva (ilva@cc.helsinki.fi) & Pekka Halonen (halo@sci.fi)
