Very sad, but in Aus - Footloose - Kenny Loggins
USA - Let’s Hear It For The Boy - Deniece Williams
Brit - The Reflex - Duran Duran

I must say, not my favourite decade generally. I can handle what came before it and some of what came after, but not much from the decade I was born into. :p

In the UK when i was born (1945),there was no 'hit parade',that came much later & then was related to sales of sheet music rather than sales of the actual records.I wouldn't know where to look for a #1 song for Jan.'45,but i have a 'long' memory & i remember songs by Fred Astair & Ginger Rodgers & Bing Crosby & many others being played on English radio,

OMG the music has gotten better since then! Thank God and/or drugs for the 60s!!! :) Also around my birthday, the Grand Old Opry banned Hank Williams for drunkenness and no-shows, and he died that New Year's Eve. :( I believe also the Berlin Wall was started on my birthday, which I share with Alfred Hitchcock, Fidel Castro, and Annie Oakley.

Things had definitely improved by my 18th bithday:

US - (They Long To Be) Close To You - The Carpenters
UK - The Wonder Of You - Elvis Presley
AUS - Up Around The Bend - Creedence Clearwater Revival

I'll agree with the Aussies, thank you! :mandosmiley: Those other two are pretty schmaltzy ...

It tells me mine was something called "Mr. Cluster" by Larry Verne. I think that is a mistake...it surely was Please Mr. Custer...which fits, as I'm really interested in the history of the American West.

In the UK it was Tell Laura I Love Her - Ricky Valance, and in Oz it was It's Now or Never by Elvis.

Just want to point out quickly before people start going nuts - this is true. "Tell Laura I Love Her" was a #7 hit in the US for Ray Peterson in 1960, then remade that same year by Ricky Valance (not Ritchie Valens, who had died years earlier), and this remake went to #1 in the UK.

"Please Mr. Custer" is correct, a novelty tune cowritten and produced by Al De Lory, who, among other things, produced three albums for Glen Campbell during his heyday, and a beautiful and talented daughter, Donna De Lory, who has released several fine albums and also has toured for nearly 20 years as one of the two featured dancers for Madonna. She had a duo called "Bliss" with cellist Cameron Stone, but has yet to use mandolin. There is still hope, though ... :mandosmiley:

Raindrops didn't go to #1 until January of '70, BTW. I could never stand that song. Thought it was about the lamest thing I'd ever heard. :)

Excerpting for emphasis ... Well, it's all a matter of taste. "Raindrops" is a bouncy little number that's 1) a lot more easy on the ears than "2525," which is godawful and was inescapable back then; 2) less soupy than anything by Henry Mancini except "The Pink Panther Theme"; and 3) ... "Dizzy?" You really want to use THAT in a discussion about song quality? :disbelief: But I would take none of these with me when I go, if I have a choice.

I will say this though: "Raindrops" was most likely the worst song B.J. Thomas ever sang - remember, this is the guy who introduced a generation to Hank Williams - and still to this day ranks as one of the least time-appropriate songs used in a movie, ever. How it got to be used in "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" is a complete mystery, probably the result of a deal done between a film producer and a record company exec involving lots of moolah and overseen by the devil. ;)

Well, it was only a list of all the #1s from '69 except "Sugar, Sugar." It wasn't intended as a sampling of great music. I actually hated radio music already by then and of that list only could stand the Beatles' and Stones' songs. And, I'm sorry, but 2525, silly alarmism and all, is more tolerable to me than the love theme from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Didn't even fit the movie, IMO.

Sometimes a song is a favorite because it can instantly take you back in time. Raindrops... takes me back to the good times of that very confusing year.

I may be a bit harsh on the tune - it is eminently whistleable, after all :whistling: - but it's mostly because it was SO out of place in the movie. Somehow it's really hard for me to separate the song from that context. Speaking of context - in the context of B.J. Thomas songs ... well, it's relative. He was one of my favorite solo artists in the 60s, and this was later in his career, so it suffers by comparison. His "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is still my favorite Hank Williams cover, forty years later. The improvising at the end still gives me goosebumps.

Well, it was only a list of all the #1s from '69 except "Sugar, Sugar." It wasn't intended as a sampling of great music.

These lists are misleading, as they reflect the gathering of information from a great number of sources all muddled together. Also, so many great songs never make it to #1. The music got better overall than the #1s would indicate - worse too, of course. ;) But such lists do have value as a start for conversation, though not as a definitive conclusion.

No, I meant it. No tell-tale smilies, just the mandosmiley, which I often use to indicate "ta-da!" Music has come along way since then, for better or worse. There have been some trends I've liked, trends I could do without, trends I've tried real hard to ignore, trends that have driven me away from listening to the radio. One can argue as to the extent of progress or evolution, of improvement or deterioration. I have heard a lot of good music along the way, so I'm leaning, or slouching, toward the side of progress. :mandosmiley:

I was implying that those kinds of songs were pervasive back then but gone now. "How Much is That Doggie in the Window" would be a flop now, and I expect "Right Round" would have flopped then, so how that would gauge "progress" is anyone's guess. I haven't heard "Right Round," but if I may assume it's similar to what I've heard from him, of these two I also would take that dog with the waggly tail, as I am a big fan of catchy melodies. I say this despite knowing that songs like that were exactly what the early rock 'n' rollers were rebelling against. And if I had been a teenager at the time I would have been too. But given a choice between those two examples, I'm waggin', yes indeed, I'm waggin' ... :grin:
