"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart. (Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65, so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").) "xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The secret way you hold my hand To let me know you understand The wind and rain upon your face The breathless world of your embrace #01) Anka, Paul: "(All of a Sudden) My Heart Sings" (1958/59) [15] {-} <42><205> Who's tripping down The streets of the city Smiling at everybody she sees Who's reaching out to capture a moment #02) Association, The: "Windy" (1967) [1] {-} <93><225><306> I may go out to Alberta Weather's good there in the fall Got some friends that I could Go to working for #03) Bare, Bobby: "Four Strong Winds" (1964) [60] {n/c} <212> Well folks (he said blushing and shuffling his feet) it turns out that this is actually a song that was not eligible due to the "re-use" rule. It was used as a tie-breaker in GOLQ 334 (as by Ian & Sylvia) so it does not meet the 2 year minimum time period criteria. Fortunately, all the entrants knew at least the song title so I treated this as usual for scoring purposes. I am awaiting sentencing for my crime at the hands of the GOLQ executive committee. I hope they will temper justice with mercy, but I hear they can be pretty harsh. Dale Latimer commented: Most commonly associated with Canadian folk icons Ian & Sylvia, who (AFAIK) never charted with it stateside. The Brothers Four bubbled under with it in 1963, while Neil Young took it to #61 in 1979. Saving up your money for a rainy day Giving all your clothes to charity Last night the wife said Oh boy when you're dead #04) Beatles, The: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" (1969) [8] {-} <126><258> Team Teitelbaum: Written by John during their honeymoon. Only he & Paul appear on the recording; John doing lead & rhythm guitar, and Paul bass & drums. Now it will be My favorite memory That vision of you Standing there Oh, there in the mist How you sighed when we kissed #05) Boone, Pat: "With The Wind And Rain In Your Hair" (1959) [21] {-} The only girl I care about has gone away Looking for a brand new start But little does she know that when she left that day Along with her she took my heart #06) Cascades, The: "Rhythm Of The Rain" (1963) [3] {7} <16><88><139> Lead singer John Gummoe was born in Cleveland OH. Since my love has left me I'm so all alone I would bring her back to me But I don't know where she's gone I don't know where she's gone #07) Clark, Dee: "Raindrops" (1961) [2] {3} <22><120> A heart beats softly About to die Wandering alone at night Waiting for the Storm to pass away #08) Critters, The: "Don't Let The Rain Fall Down On Me" (1967) [39] {-} <204> And we went a little further You wanna hear the rest of it I might as well The wind blew her hair in the street #09) Diddley, Bo: "Say Man" (1959) [20] {3} <103> Although uncredited on the record, this insult fest features Diddley band member Jerome Green. Once on a high and windy hill In the morning mist Two lovers kissed And the world stood still #10) Four Aces featuring Al Alberts: "Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing" (1955/56) [1] {-} <140><267> In the spring of my life She came to me She brought sunshine Where winter winds had blown #11) Goldsboro, Bobby: "Autumn Of My Life" (1968) [19] {-} <218> Everything that's wonderful Is sure to come your way When you're in love to stay #12) Gore, Lesley: "Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows" (1965) [13] {-} <29><129> Thunder, lightning, wind and rain Love is storming inside my brain #13) Hamilton, Roy: "Don't Let Go" (1958) [13] {2} <4><139><279> Wind and storm Gone's the sun From the stars My dark has come #14) Hyland, Brian: "Tragedy" (1969) [56] {-} Several entrants said they were not aware of this version, but the lyrics pretty much duplicate the Thomas Wayne tune of 10 years earlier. If you have not heard it previously, here is a Youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXaq4xkxTd4 Caught up in a summer shower Drying while it soaks the flowers Maybe we`ll be caught for hours Waiting out the sun #15) Lovin' Spoonful, The: "Rain On The Roof" (1966) [10] {-} <36><192> You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me, and with your kiss the world begins You're Spring to me, all things to me You're life itselF #16) Mathis, Johnny: "Wild Is The Wind" (1957/58) [22] {-} <139> Now the days are lonely The song of love is still They say that I'll forget you But I say I never will #17) Mendes, Sergio, & Brasil '66: "Constant Rain (Chove Chuva)" (1966/67) [71] {-} A nod to the Olympic games in Rio.

Dale Latimer commented: Produced by Bo Gentry, co-written by Joey Levine (Ohio Express, Reunion, etc.), lead vocal by Tony Orlando. My sweetheart's name is Sally Brown She used to live in Nassau town In a jealous fight I shot a man Now I have to run away to a far-off land So I roamed and I roamed for a long long time Trying to find peace of mind #T1) Aleong, Aki: "Trade Winds, Trade Winds" (1961) [101] {-} This song strongly reminds of of "Jamaica Farewell" See if you agree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9IPPRA9BIY . Dale Latimer: Much better known as an actor with 60 years of experience in films and TV. The lovely day we met I still remember well Who cared if it was wet 'Cause like the rain we fell An April afternoon #T2) Carson, Mindy: "A Rainy Day Refrain" (1950) [24] {-} I included this song for a couple of reasons. It fit the theme and it happens to be one first songs I can remember hearing on the radio often enough to sing(?) to my mother (poor Mom). At four years old my vocal talents had not yet come to full bloom. What I remember most is the "Da-dim Da-dum" part and probably drove Mom nuts with it.

The first column indicates the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by number of entrants). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Avg.

"I'm A Nut" scored much higher on the country charts, so I thought there would be more recognition carry-over. |

"Tne Silver Streak" is a different movie, from about 45 years earlier. I haven't seen it, but if I recall correctly it's also a train movie. > I will take this under consideration. but only if Mark provides a > sufficiently specific explanation of the blue lines in hockey for the > rest of us. As I put it once to a friend, crossing the blue line is the moral equivalent of making a first down -- or if you prefer, of reaching a base. On a standard 200-foot rink, the blue lines were traditionally 60 feet apart, dividing the area between the goallines into three equal zones. In the last decade or so, though, the goallines and the blue lines have both been moved a couple of feet toward center ice. The primary rule about blue lines is that you're not allowed to advance the puck from the center neutral zone into your opponents' zone when anyone on your team (including yourself) already has both skates in the opponents' zone. If you do, the linesman calls an offside. Normally, this means play is stopped and a faceoff is held on the nearest faceoff dot, which will be in the neutral zone near the blue line. However, if you release control of the puck before it goes across the blue line and one of your opponents takes control of it inside their zone, then it's a "delayed offside" and play is only stopped if you or your teammates stop or delay your opponents getting the puck back into the neutral zone. Also, if you pass the puck forward from inside your own zone across *both* blue lines to a teammate who does not receive the pass until inside the opponents' zone, then it's an "offside pass" and again play is stopped and the puck brought back for a faceoff, which takes place in your own zone. This is a pretty rare occurrence now, but until sometime in the last decade or so, the rule applied if the pass was received on the opponents' side of the center line, and naturally, that happened more often. But you knew this. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "I wish to God these calculations had been msb@vex.net | executed by steam!" -- Charles Babbage, 1821 My text in this article is in the public domain. |
