I'm the beef fit with friends being fit This night is pain and pain is not Hi folks and welcome to the Quest for Silver. I'm Chris Tuffer on Lifestyles 55 and for the next hour, we're going to have some nostalgic pleasure with the help of some great old number two songs. The ball started rolling this hour with nits and pieces by the DC5. Dave Clark and Company had some banging big heads in the 60s and not unqualified big time. So let's stop that proverbial ball from rolling away and carry on with another big number two. The most common comment about these boys was that they were assumed to be singing another great Beatles song. Because they most assuredly sounded like the Beatles. But indeed, they were the Knickerbockers with a song called Lies!

SPEAKER_02 3:04

You're telling me that you'll be true. That's all I ever get from you. Cheers! Cheers! I shall make a cheers for you. Cheers, cheers, and now you'll love someone too.

When the T-Bones had a hit in 1966 with the single No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's In, Liberty Records quickly recorded an album of the same name using session musicians from the Wrecking Crew. But those musicians were not willing to go on tour to promote the album. They were making sufficient money doing sessions in Los Angeles. So Liberty created a different public key bones group to appear on record covers, TV, and in concert. The public key bones were John Hamilton and Ann Hamilton, Joe Frank Carello, and Tommy Reynolds, and Jean Bellow. None of them played on the hit record, nor did they play on the next album Simon and Jim. However, the public T-bones did record the T-Bones final album after Everyone's Gone to the Moon and other tricks. Dan Hamilton, Joe Frank Carollo, and Tommy Reynolds later formed the nineteen seventies soft rock trio Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds. Who knew it? The weekending January 29, the song leaped from number 15 to number two, and was in position to replace We Can Work It Out by the Beatles as the next number one song. However, my love by Patula Clark unexpectedly vaulted into the number one position the weekending February 5th, 1966. Consequently, Barbara Ann headed at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Torrence is not credited on the album, but Carl Wilson is heard saying the song's conclusion. Barbara Ann is a song written by Fred Fazard. That was first recorded by The Regent. Their version was released in 1961 and read number 13. The more famous version recorded by the Beach Boys was on their 1965 in-house live album, The Beach Boys Party. In December, Barbara Ann was issued as a single with the B-side Girl Don't Tell Me, peeking at number two.

My world is empty without you. Diana Ross and the Supremes. It was one of the few songs written by the team for the Supremes to not read number one. It was one of those songs that would definitely ring true with many relationships that did not make it. But for that reason, and probably others, it was besought with ambivalence, which is understandable, but somewhat disappointing. When their songs were often at number one, here they are, billed as the Supremes, with lead singing by the one and only Diana Ross.

SPEAKER_04 14:10

And as I go my way alone, I find it hard for me to carry on. I need your child, I need your gender touch, I need me love my dear, I miss so much.

Without a you fail, without a you pay, without a you pay, without a you The Beatles have broken more records than almost any other musical band in history, and they even weathered the storm of hate and had records physically destroyed due to the comment of Mr. Lennon stating that they were more popular than Jesus. However, they are mostly remembered for their incredible popularity in songs like this one, which broke away from the typical love songs. It was after struggling for several hours and trying to come up with one more song for the rubber soul album that John went for a nap, and during his rest it came to him with both a tune and lyrics.

This lovely ballad by Petula Clark was her last top ten song, and honors us as a silver medalist par excellence. Petula has had a wonderful life and still enjoys being outdoors and contemplating her eight decades of singing and performing for audiences worldwide. She has sold almost a hundred million records, and that's only surprising that it is not more than that. It might even be considered ironic that her last top ten song is entitled Kiss Me Goodbye.

SPEAKER_09 20:43

Love is never quite the same. I love you. Now I've lost you. Don't feel bad, you're not too blessed. So give me goodbye, and I'll try not to cry all these years in the world. For the last time, pretend you are mine and my darling. Kiss me goodbye. I know now I must go now, though my heart wants me to stay that girl is you up tomorrow. I belong to yesterday. So kiss me goodbye, and I'll try not to cry all the tears in the world which change your mind by you. So your heart will be reading and I hope you will survive like a friend just happen for the last time. Pretend you are mine, my darling. Kiss me goodbye, my darling, kiss me goodbye.

Bessie Banks recorded the very first version of the song Go Now and later commented, I remember back in November 63 when Kennedy was assassinated. It was announced over the radio. At the time I was rehearsing in the recording office. We had it for hours. Everyone was in the year to record. But they were not able to do better than this ever again. Go now by Stormy and Gabriel.

The group's fourth single, All Day and All of the Night, another Ray Davies hard rock tune, reached number two in the UK and number seven in the US. The next three singles, Tired of Waiting for You, Everybody's Gonna Be Happy and Set Me Free were also commercially successful. Tired of Waiting for You Now by the Kinks on L55 and the Q4S with me, Mr.

The most obvious song that was recorded by the Wrecking Crew under the name of Raiders with lead vocals by Mark Lindsay is their only number one song in the US about Indian reservation, element of the Cherokee Nation. Needless to say, this song was popular, and yet it was and is immersed in controversy due to the early claims of its origin and authenticity. Nevertheless, it was a huge success in the 70s and peaked in Canada at number two.

SPEAKER_01 38:23

So proud to live, so proud to die for whole Indian nation wants us all for reservation, who I winner's shirt and tie, I'm still a red man deep inside.

SPEAKER_00 42:46

Well indeed they were not brothers Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield and they formed a duo of amazing complimentary voices You are my soul and inspiration was a definitive silver selection in Canada to go all the way at home. Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield as the righteous brothers singing a song that disparited sessions to complete. But when they did in late nineteen sixty-five, it took hold and rose to the top in the US the following year. Peter and Gordon Waller, known by their first names only. Peter and Gordon and Great and Great Harmony. And several of their favorite hits were written by Paul McCartney, and of course credited to both he and John Lennon. World Without Love was their debut hit. But today we have the secondary song Nobody I Know, written by Lennon McCarthy, but of course we know Lennon gets credit even though he did not collaborate.
