We’re not too far away from the year 2017. My has the time flown by! We remember 2007, 1997, 1987 and 1977 like it was yesterday. After that it might get a little fuzzy! With it being so close to 2017 we decided to take a look at what the top songs were 40 years ago. What were the top songs in 1967? Check out this playlist…
1.) To Sir With Love – Lulu
2.) The Letter – The Box Tops
3.) Ode to Billy Joe – Bobbie Gentry
4.) Windy – The Association
5.) I’m a Believer – The Monkees
6.) Light My Fire – The Doors
7.) Something Stupid – Frank and daughter Nancy Sinatra
8.) Happy Together – The Turtles
9.) Grooving – The Rascals
Prologue: “To Sir with Love” became controversial as it was from the Sidney Poitier movie about an African American teacher in an all-white British classroom. Jose Feliciano had an ever bigger hit with the Doors classic tune a year later. The Frank and Nancy song is the only instance in music history of a father and daughter hitting number one with a duo.
