1-Drowning In A Sea Of Love - Joe Simon (feel his pain....soul to spare)

2-Warm Love - Van Morrison (it's ever present, everywhere)

3-River - Joni Mitchell (check out the version by Kenny Lattimore-Awesome)

4-Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group (Stevie Winwood was 16 when he recorded this...the boy was motivated)

5-Evil Woman - Electric Light Orchestra (Jeff didn't really mean it)

6-Way It Is, The - Bruce Hornsby & The Range (with a lil Bonnie Raitt thrown in)

7-Do It Again - Steely Dan (and again and again)

8-(We're gonna) Rock Around the Clock - Bill Haley and his Comets (Rock History 101)

9-Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' - Journey (sounding like Sam Cooke)

10-Redneck Friend - Jackson Browne (Would've been my teen-age anthem if it had come out 20 years earlier)

Toughest list in the past few weeks for me.

PROPHETIC QUOTE FROM TOP TEN #37. :shades:

I think the keyboard's the best part of all 8 1/2 minutes plus of "Won't Get Fooled Again" (WGFA). Let's see what happens when I nominate "Happy Jack". At 2 minutes 10 seconds it'll probably only get a quarter of the votes that WGFA does.

For private psychic readings, please contact me. :shocked:

Special !!! Normally $100 US, 10% Discount to Songfactors. That may sound expensive, but it's only a Medium price.

:doh:

Mmmmmmmmmmm.................going into trance.....

My son, as only you and Judo will vote for it, I

predict 17 !

That'll be $25.00 U.S. Dappled. Sorry - $22.50 with your Songfacts disccount - call it $20.00. I'm just an old softie.

;)

That song was a #1 Hit in 1927 for a popular singer of that time, Gene Austin. How would I know that if I wasn't a genuine Medium?

(No extra charge).

OK, thanks, maybe Danny Boy would be a better choice??

Our $ is very strong against the US$ Kevin, even though two of your racehorses took $3.75 million from us last Tuesday in the Melbourne Cup.

:)

Dappled, I'll waive the fee, because it was 1928 that Ramona was first #1. Another Batchelors' cover, Charmaine, was #1 in 1927. Who needs Google when I have my beloved books !

Of course, there's probably not too many people besides me who'd want to know what was #1 almost 80 years ago. You'd be surprised at how many songs from that era have been brought back and become Hits for other artists.

:P
