(Finished February 20th, 2023) The Best 17 Songs from 60 years Ago

Hello,

On this President's Day, thoughts are with Jimmy Carter as he's in hospice care. And much respect to President Biden for actually venturing into Ukraine. God bless America!!

These countdowns are from top40weekly.com, I supplemented with Billboard countdowns where needed. By best songs, obviously that's perfectly subjective. I'll include the band, name of song and where that song ranked that week.  Any spaces between songs indicates that I didn't think that was a Top 17 quality song for that countdown. On this countdown I had to work hard and do a lot of research to come up with 17 songs.

1) Paul and Paula "Hey Paula" (1):

2) The Four Seasons "Walk Like A Man (3):

3) The Cascades "Rhythm of The Rain" (5):

4) Ned Miller "From A Jack To A King" (6):

5) Bobby Vee "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes" (7):

6) The Miracles "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" (8):

7) The Drifters "Up On The Roof" (10):

8) Steve Lawrence "Go Away Little Girl" (14):

9) Eydie Gorme "Blame It On The Bossa Nova" (18):

10) Dickey Lee "I Saw Linda Yesterday" (25):

11) Paul Anka "Love (Makes The World Go 'Round)" (26):

12) The Exciters "Tell Him" (29):

13) Dionne Warwick "Don't Make Me Over" (35):

One of the all-time greatest songs!! 14) Skeeter Davis "End of The World" (36):

15) Peggy Lee "I'm A Woman" (66):

16) Baby Jane and The Rockabyes "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" (69):

17) The great Patsy Cline "Leavin On Your Mind" (84):
