I was 10 that year. This is top 40, people -- Casey Casen type stuff. Played on every radio, every day. When you look at the variety of this list, it is just mind boggling.

Here's my top 10 from that year:

8 I’M A BELIEVER – The Monkees (Sorry, the Monkees were cool -- and great writers were involved here -- Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart wrote tons of tunes for these guys.)

9 GROOVIN’ – The Young Rascals ("on a sunday afternoon")

10 RESPECT – Aretha Franklin (It's Atlantic records, but it still screams Motown to me, baby)

26 I WAS MADE TO LOVE HER – Stevie Wonder (was I a motown fan or what!)

44 EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR HEART – The Soul Survivors (beep-beep, It might not be a top ten now, but it was then -- hey, I was 10))

61 BROWN EYED GIRL – Van Morrison (Monster hit!)

62 PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY – The Monkees (Might a boy-band designed to insult the intelligence of human kind, but I watched every show -- write a song as good as this one is.)

67 (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) HIGHER AND HIGHER – Jackie Wilson (Probably the greatest soul song of all time -- Your love... I once was downhearted, disappointment was my closest friend)

69 FUNKY BROADWAY – Wilson Pickett (Now if you don't think this is funky, then you need to turn in your music card right now. I only got to 9 on my list, so I added this one in.)

77 SAN FRANCISCAN NIGHTS – Eric Burdon & The Animals (I am not sure why I loved this song -- but I did. I used to call the radio station to play this one.)
