(Finished February 20th, 2023) Part 1 of The Best 37 Songs from 50 years Ago

Hello,

These countdowns are from Billboard Hot 100 countdowns. 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 have decided to go with all the great songs on that week's countdown.

1) Elton John "Crocodile Rock" (1):

2) Carly Simon "You're So Vain" (2):

3) Stevie Wonder "Superstition" (3):

4) Steely Dan "Do It Again" (9):

5) Wings "Hi, Hi, Hi" (10):

6) Billy Paul "Me and Mrs. Jones" (11):

7) The Spinners "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" (13):

8) John Denver "Rocky Mountain High" (14):

9) King Harvest "Dancin' In The Moonlight" (15):

10) Curtis Mayfield "Superfly" (17):
