Posted June 16, 20169 yr http://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/tbacig/cst3010/images/1960s_logo.gif :cry: 1960s Top 40 Rate - The 'Impossible' Part 4 :cry: Numbers 35 and 36s While there were several different UK singles charts during the 1960s (with the NME weekly chart being the most widely followed), the Guinness Book Of Hit Singles and, subsequently, the Official Charts Company use the Record Retailer chart as their reference during this period, so that's the one we'll be using here. The 'Official' Singles Charts, as we know it, didn't begin until February 1969. These series of rates will cover March 1960 (when the chart expanded to a Top 40 for the first time) to December 1969. Due to the relatively obscure nature of the tracks below you can vote as follows: +10 +9 +8 +7 +6 +5 +4 +3 +2 +1 If you can't pick ten songs, you can try four: +10 +7 +4 +1 And alternatively, if you can only pick three: +10 +5 +1 Number 35s Marv Johnson - I Love The Way You Love Jimmy Jones - I Just Go For You Harry Simeone Chorale - Onward Christian Soldiers Tony Bennett - Till Burt Weedon - Ginchy Kokomo - Asia Minor Dinah Washington - September In The Rain John Barry Seven - Cutty Sark Johnny Burnette - Clown Shoes Frank Sinatra & Count Basie - My Kind Of Girl Helen Shapiro - Woe Is Me Duane Eddy & The Rebelettes - Lonely Boy Lonely Guitar Ray Charles - No One Ken Dodd - Still Cilla Black - Love Of The Loved Trini Lopez - Kansas City Paramounts - Poison Ivy Del Shannon - Mary Jane Sounds Incorporated - Spanish Harlem Long & The Short - The Letter Ronettes - Do I Love You Francoise Hardy - Et Meme Drifters - At The Club Everly Brothers - I'll Never Get Over You Searchers - When I Get Home Joan Baez - Farewell Argentina Tom Jones - Thunderball Billy Fury - I'll Never Quite Get Over You Sam & Dave - Soothe Me Otis Redding & Carla Thomas - Knock On Wood Pyramids - Train Tour To Rainbow City Spencer Davis Group - Mr Second Class Massiel - La, La, La Equals - Laurel And Hardy Barron Knights - An Olympic Record Eric Burdon & The Animals - Ring Of Fire Roy Orbison - My Friend Blood Sweat & Tears - You've Made Me So Very Happy Booker T & The MG's - Soul Clap '69 Trash - Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight Number 36s Norrie Paramor Orchestra - Theme From 'A Summer Place' Ronnie Carroll - Footsteps Jerry Lordan - Sing Like An Angel Sammy Masters - Rocking Red Wing Jan & Kjeld - Banjo Boy Tommy Bruce - Broken Doll Buddy Holly - Learning The Game Makadopoulos & His Greek Serenaders - Never On Sunday Danny Rivers - Can't You Hear My Heart Nat 'King' Cole - The World In My Arms Max Bygraves - Bells Of Avignon Floyd Cramer - San Antonio Rose Anthony Newley - What Kind Of Fool Am I?

June 21, 20169 yr 36's Just note that if gene pitneys brilliant original version of mecca had been the hit single instead of a rubbish cover it would have topped this list! Knock off rubbish british covers were a total disease in the 60s :P The Jack Jones version of Nilssons brilliant Without Her is also better than Herb's decent version. Fab song. n_IXw1UOQJ8 mqlG1K6bbCc +10 Herb Alpert - Without Her +9 Crystals - I Wonder +8 Sly & The Family Stone - Everyday People +7 Makadopoulos & His Greek Serenaders - Never On Sunday +6 Creation - Painter Man +5 Edwin Starr - 25 Miles +4 Chris Andrews - Stop That Girl +3 Ray Charles - Eleanor Rigby +2 Skatalites - Guns Of Navarone +1 Gene Pitney - It Hurts To Be In Love
