"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart. (Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65, so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").) "xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I look into your big brown eyes It's so very plain to see #01) Jewel Akens: "The Birds And The Bees" (1965) [3] {21} <29><146><263> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaaVbWD3USI He died at 79 on 3/1/13. According to his AP obit, he was lead singer of a group called The Turnarounds when they were offered this song. The other members of the group disliked it, so Jewel recorded it as a solo effort. We'll settle down in a bamboo hut And he will be my own little coconut Then we'll be beachcombin' royalty #02) Annette with The Afterbeats: "Pineapple Princess" (1960) [11] {-} <60><146> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imEefjrmRN8 Annette Funicello died at 70 on 4/8/13, after a 25-year battle with multiple sclerosis. Song was written by Robert & Richard Sherman; the Sherman Brothers were then Disney staff songwriters. Minus one point if you forgot The Afterbeats. Without a warning You broke my heart You took it, darling And you tore it apart #03) Bobby Bland: "Turn On Your Love Light" (1961) [28] {2} <50> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StdN_CiCNS4 Bobby "Blue" Bland died at 83 on 6/23/13. He was a member of both the Blues and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame. When I hold you in my arms I know that I can't do no wrong #04) James Brown and The Famous Flames: "I Got You (I Feel Good)" (1965/66) [3] {1} <1><227> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o2MGRsatwQ (Yvonne Fair, "I Found You", 1962) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rV_mqosIVQ (1964 version; movie lip-sync) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mz6SfBhA1g (1965 hit version) Written by JB. An early version by one of his revue members, Yvonne Fair, was released on a single in 1962 as "I Found You." In 1964, JB himself recorded his first version, released on the LP "Out of Sight" - this features a prominent baritone sax part, rather than the alto in the 1965 hit version. James lip-synched to the earlier ('64) version when the group appeared in the 1965 film "Ski Party" (2nd link above). Minus one point if you forgot the Famous Flames. Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss Soften my dreams with your sigh #05) The Casinos: "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" (1967) [6] {-} <1><151> http://myspace.com/afrogroove/music/song/then-you-can-tell-me-goodbye-71258828 (Don Cherry, 1962; click on the "01" to left of title to play) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghq7vjUwoD0 (Johnny Nash, 1964) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcqOmm-g6w4 (Casinos, 1967) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9F4coqVcO0 (Loudermilk, 1967; starts at 5:14) Written by John D. Loudermilk. First recorded in 1962 by Don Cherry, then by Johnny Nash in 1964 (uncharted single; B-side of "Always"). The composer released his own solo acoustic version in 1967 on his "Suburban Attitudes in Country Verse" LP; in the last link above, the song starts at 5:14 (link contains the entire album). You changed like night and day Just upped and walked away When she came along #06) Patsy Cline: "Strange" (1962) [97] {-} <220> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDstIvyUx_4 B-side of the #14 hit "She's Got You." Backing vocals by The Jordanaires. Alone and far away from home A boy stands in a foreign land Lonely is he, and in the dark he wipes away a tear #07) The Dells: "Does Anybody Know I'm Here" (1968/69) [38] {15} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G11KG_lfx5o Marvin Junior died at 77 on 5/29/13. He was one of the group's founding members in 1952, and was with the group for its entire nearly 60-year run. Wait until the war is over And we're both a little older #08) The Doors: "The Unknown Soldier" (1968) [39] {-} <93> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDUOVyiX9fk Keyboard player Ray Manzarek, who essentially assembled The Doors, died at 74 on 5/20/13. He knew Jim Morrison from film school at UCLA; after graduating in 1965, Ray ran across Morrison, who showed him an early version of the lyrics to "Moonlight Drive." Ray suggested they form a band, and Manzarek then recruited guitarist Robbie Krieger and drummer John Densmore, both of whom he knew from a Transcendental Meditation class. If you want him to be The very part of you Make you want to breathe Here's the thing to do #09) The Exciters: "Tell Him" (1962/63) [4] {5} <8><134> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEvSZjWGQFI (Johnny Thunder, 1962) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah-tui1ubnU (Exciters, 1962) Written by Bert Berns, under his frequent pseudonym of Bert Russell ("Russell" being his middle name). Originally recorded earlier in 1962 by Johnny Thunder (later of "Loop de Loop" fame) as "Tell Her," with Berns producing. The Exciters' rendition was produced by Leiber & Stoller. The link above shows the group lip-synching to the record, for a '60s "video jukebox" format called Scopitone. Hey, baby Could you maybe Have some love for me? If you think so Then, well, I'll know All my possibilities #10) The Five Stairsteps: "Danger! She's A Stranger" (1967) [89] {16} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-q7LrBt--s A family group, comprising four brothers and a sister. (A younger sibling, brother Cubie, was credited on some of the group's subsequent recordings.) Lead singer Clarence Burke Jr. died at 64 on 5/26/13. Through these walls so thin I hear my neighbors when They say "She don't love him, she don't love him" They say my heart's in danger 'Cause you're leaving me For the love of a stranger #11) The Four Tops: "Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)" (1966) [18] {5} <52><166> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC3QkJm8Yoo Gee, girl Why can't I make you see, girl? Just what you mean to me, girl Then you would know I'd never go away without you #12) Gene & Debbe: "Playboy" (1968) [17] {-} <43><192> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ih10_0m6RM Although not an intended part of the "recently deceased" theme, the EJs noted that Gene Thomas of the duo died fairly recently, on 8/26/12. On your mark (on your mark) Get set (get set) Now ready (ready) Go! #13) Bill Haley and His Comets: "Razzle-Dazzle" (1955) [15] {-} <48><220> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbShZQdvlNo Bassist Marshall Lytle died at 79 on 5/25/13. He joined what was then Bill Haley & The Saddlemen in 1951, and left The Comets after a salary dispute with Haley in late 1955. In 1987, he was one of the surviving members of the mid-'50s Comets who met for a reunion show; they continued to tour on-and-off for decades, with Lytle retiring in 2009. Compliments to you From all the people we meet #14) The Impressions: "I'm So Proud" (1964) [14] {n/c} <56><246> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow00BrG6K9I I see you standin' in the alleys and the hallways (wait a second!) You're gone now I run to touch you but you vanish through the doorways #15) Tommy James and The Shondells: "Mirage" (1967) [10] {-} <36><97> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXMEhRmKeyM While trying to create a follow-up to the smash "I Think We're Alone Now," producer Bo Gentry accidentally threaded a copy of that song backwards in a reel-to-reel tape deck. The group liked the sound of the earlier song's chorus progression (A-E-D-A) played in reverse order (A-D-E-A), so that sequence became the basis of "Mirage." That my four little children will not come up In the same young days that I came up within But they will be judged on the basis of the content of their character Not the color of their skin #16) Rev. Martin Luther King: "I Have a Dream" (1968) [88] {-} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvzI2ye1GD8 In 1963, Dr. King gave two versions of his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. The first, lesser-known version was from the Walk to Freedom March in Detroit on 6/23/63. The more famous one was from the March on Washington on 8/28/63. In that year, Motown issued (via its Gordy subsidiary) a pair of LPs comprising speeches from both events: "The Great March to Freedom" and "The Great March on Washington," respectively. Also in 1963, Gordy issued a single containing excerpts from King's speech in Detroit (from the earlier event/LP), backed with Liz Lands' rendition of "We Shall Overcome" (from the latter). The single was reissued shortly after his 4/4/68 assassination. And as I take your hand Say that you'll be mine tonight #17) Billy J. Kramer with The Dakotas: "From A Window" (1964) [23] {n/c} <24><123> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me9D3Yt52ko A Lennon-McCartney composition (one of Paul's, actually). Paul is reported to have attended the recording session, and to have harmonized on the song's final syllable. Well, I guess I've had my day And you let me go my way Now it's me who has to pay #18) Little Anthony and The Imperials: "I'm On The Outside (Looking In)" (1964) [15] {n/c} <38><247> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc_oLZuFwaI He said, you'd be surprised at the things you do now That you're still gonna do Oh, but you will #19) The Miracles: "(You Can't Let The Boy Overpower) The Man In You" (1964) [59] {n/c} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALW5l47GAso Bobby Rogers, long-time member of the group, died at 73 on 3/3/13. He was born on the same day (& in the same hospital) as Smokey Robinson, and they started singing together in the mid-'50s, when they were in high school. A long time ago, now, now sweet thing I made a big mistake, honey I say, I said goodbye (bye-bye, bye-bye, bye) #20) Diana Ross and The Supremes: "Someday We'll Be Together" (1969/70) [1] {1} <78><239> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU_sFZWUK_g (Johnny & Jackey, 1961) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hKA0ZXlNo4 (Diana Ross, 1969) Written by Jackey Beavers, Harvey Fuqua, and Johnny Bristol; Bristol and Beavers released the original version in 1961 as by "Johnny & Jackey," on Fuqua's Tri-Phi label. In 1963, Berry Gordy (then Fuqua's brother-in-law) bought the label, and Bristol & Fuqua became Motown staffers. In 1969, Bristol was preparing a version of this song for Jr. Walker & the All-Stars, with the instrumental track and female background vocals already recorded. Gordy decided it would instead be a perfect solo debut for Diana Ross, who was exiting from The Supremes. As a way of coaching Diana through the song, Bristol sang a few lines of counterpoint, including ad-libbed words of encouragement. He didn't initially intend for his voice to be in the final mix, but they liked the effect of his interaction with Diana, so it was retained. Ultimately, Gordy decided to release the song as the final "Diana Ross and The Supremes" record, even though Mary Wilson & Cindy Birdsong weren't involved in the recording at all. It's a light and tumble journey From the East Side to the Park Just a fine and fancy ramble #21) Simon & Garfunkel: "At The Zoo" (1967) [16] {-} <65><253> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HPmg8sYSkY (demo; different lyrics) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xKLBne1CoI (released version) The first link contains an alternate version (demo, presumably), with the same melody but almost entirely different lyrics and subject - a few phrases, such as "light and tumble," survived to the final version. In addition to its single release, "At the Zoo" was the final track on the 1968 "Bookends" LP. In 1991, Simon released a children's book by the same title, with Valeria Michaut's illustrations accompanying the lyrics of the song. A few amusing changes made the book appropriate for kids, including adding a beaver named Rum (because "the zookeeper is very fond of rum") and showing the hamsters having headlights (because "hamsters turn on frequently"). You gotta hug 'em (hug 'em) Then you kiss 'em (kiss 'em) You gotta love 'em (love 'em) Then you miss them (miss them) #22) The Spinners: "That's What Girls Are Made For" (1961) [27] {5} <49> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6Uf88ZV4P8 Bobbie Smith, a founding group member, died at 76 on 3/16/13. This song was the first release on the Tri-Phi label (also see notes for song #20). Label owner Harvey Fuqua often sang/arranged with the group, and some sources list him as lead vocalist here. However, both Fuqua's and Smith's recollections confirm that the latter sang lead on this track. The childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty See, I was born and raised in the slums of a city It was a one-room shack that slept ten other children beside me We hardly had enough food or room to sleep #23) The Temptations: "Cloud Nine" (1968/69) [6] {2} <95> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBqzikC_sGE Each of the group has a turn singing lead; this opening section features Dennis Edwards. To hear her say "Darling, I do" #24) The Velvets: "Tonight (Could Be The Night)" (1961) [26] {-} <29> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQEmrG_AKEQ Virgil Johnson, lead singer, died 2/24/13 at age 77. He was a junior-high English teacher, and organized the group with several of his students. Virgil eventually became a school principal before his retirement. The roses all have left your cheek I watched them fade away and die Your voice is sad when you speak And tears bedim your lovin' eyes #25) Slim Whitman: "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen" (1957) [93] {-} <230> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLqcUFRTeJI (Walter Van Brunt, 1916) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdUTeWZ5784 (Slim Whitman, 1957) Slim died on 6/19/13 at age 90. This song was written in 1875, with countless versions recorded; first link above is a hit version from 1916. Mike Weaver noted the use of Slim's 1952 recording of "Indian Love Call" in the 1996 sci-fi spoof "Mars Attacks!" - the sound of Slim's yodeling proves lethal to the Martian invaders, thus saving the Earth. ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ Wearin' pearls and a diamond ring Got bracelets on her arm and ever'thing #T1) Shorty Long: "Devil With The Blue Dress" (1964) [125] {n/c} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm5z3gp9gLk (Shorty Long, 1964) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAClxmXqX0M (Mitch Ryder medley, 1966) Co-written by Shorty with Mickey Stevenson (then Motown's A&R head), and released on Motown's Soul subsidiary. The song is probably best known as part of the 1966 uptempo medley by Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels, "Devil With A Blue Dress On & Good Golly Miss Molly." Ryder sang the 2nd line as "Got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything." I've been watching you for days, now, baby I just love your sexy ways, now, baby You know my love will never stop, now, baby Just put your lovin' in my box, baby #T2) Sam & Dave: "Wrap It Up" (1968) [-] {-} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTaxwnhUb-o (Sam & Dave, 1968) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKZvCwwCQEg (Archie Bell & Drells, 1970) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBZRmoOnMsE (Fabulous Thunderbirds, 1986) B-side of the #9 hit "I Thank You." Later, a minor hit for Archie Bell & The Drells (1970) and for The Fabulous Thunderbirds (1986). _____________________________________________________________________________ The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
