THE TOP 10 OF 13 NOVEMBER 1965

The Vogues started out on a small Pittsburgh label whose owners sounded like the bomber crew out of a World War II movie: Cohen, Cellini, Hakim and Moon. They had given Lou Christie a break before he decamped to MGM Records in L.A. The Vogues would have a string of hits before they bolted to Warner Brothers in L.A. and became an easy listening band. This was a Petula Clark song written by her longtime collaborator Tony Hatch. The Vogues record it in B-flat, and it wasn’t until I sat down at the piano that I realized that the chorus takes up only a perfect fourth: B-flat to E-flat.

The Vogues: “You’re the One”

Compare and contrast. This was never a single, but simply a number from Clark’s first disk. She records it in E-flat, and it sounds more comfortable in that key. Hatch gives the song a kind of Hot Country feel.

Petula Clark: You’re the One”

[Drumbo]

Me too. But it was never a hit for the group or even widely popular until John’s death in 1980 when it suddenly became the soundtrack of every memorial feature including a cover by his ex-wife Cynthia. It surprised me that it showed up on this slightly Beatle heavy list. I grew up with and love The Beatles, credit them with my career and I love that song, but it would never make my 100 Greatest Songs of all time (while Paul McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” or George’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” might). I think the folks who compiled this list were on drugs.

I would personally have limited multiple appearances by the same artist’s in the Top 100. 10 Beatle songs, 5 Presley’s, 4 Dylan’s (5 counting Hendrix’ Watchtower), and 3 each for the Beach Boys, The Stones and Chuck Berry eats up over 30% and seems a bit obsessive. IMO “Heros” is nowhere near Bowie’s best work, Ike and Tina’s cover of “River Deep” was a Phil Spector abortion compared to Ashford & Simpson and no Creedence fan considers “Fortunate Son” their best and the same goes for The Kinks’ “Waterloo Sunset”. Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac, ElO, ZZ Top, Phil Collins, Steve Winwood, Jeff Beck and anything mildly progressive is missing. ... Too much pot in the RS boardroom imho.

Len Barry, a.k.a. Leonard Borishoff, had been the lead singer of the Dovells in the early Sixties (“Bristol Stomp”). He was later to become a record producer, a part of the Philly Sound of the Seventies. This was the first of the three hits he would have as Len Barry.

The song was written by Barry, John Madara and Dave White. John and Dave had written a number of hits on their own to include Lesley Gore’s famous “You Don’t Own Me”. Dave had been with Danny & the Juniors. This was a conjunction of talents from the doo-wop era,

Johann Seastian Bach had written a number of cute little tunes for his second wife, and this sweet little minuet was rendered from triple-time to duple-time to create a one-time hit. The Bach conversion was handled by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randall, songwriters of some of the great 4 Seasons hits.

One great thing about the Rolling Stones was that they never got stuck in a rut and recorded the same song many times under different names. They were as original and versatile as you can get. They far outlived the Beatles who burned out in less than a decade. This was their followup to “Satisfaction”, and it’s a great tune.

The Rolling Stones: “Get Off of My Cloud”
