Only one song i like in there, My cherie amour.I've got a huge dislike for the Rolling Stones.I only own one of their songs, Anybody seen my baby which was great.There were much better stuff from the 60s, The Turtles, Dusty Springfield and the Burt Baccarach songs.

[Earl Purple]

End of an era. The Beatles had just had their last #1 and the Rolling Stones were on theirs. I don't know that many of the songs on that chart, to be honest, apart from the obvious big hits.
