This week, the week of January 18-22, 2016, we will be looking at the year 1966!

We call it:  "50/50!"

January 19, 2016

Note:  Not all the titles will be great!  LOL!

We tend to put a lot of emphasis on random anniversary numbers over others.  The 50th anniversary of anything tends to get more attention than 48 or 49 because we like our round numbers I guess.

So let's look at the top five songs of the year 1966!

For a year that saw the Beatles in the middle of the amazing run, the birth of the Monkees, and an ever growing cross over in media from movies to music the songs that ranked the highest for the entire year might be a bit of a surprise!

Coming in at #4, is a song recorded for Motown records and produced by Holland-Dozier-Holland.  And if you don't know how they shaped the sound of the 60's please go read about it.

Spending two weeks a top the Billboard Hot 100 in October of 1966.  The Four Tops entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

Tomorrow: Blue eyed soul!
