Probably "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was chosen because of it's impact on the music industry. This was thier first big single in the US; the Ed Sullivan show appearance; the beginning of the British Invasion.

It was HUGE. Landmark status single; surely, not their most brilliant song.

Oh no...NOT ANOTHER LIST TO TYPE!!!!

OK, well I pulled it out...so I'll bring it in and transcribe....later.

It's pretty good, I think. Rolling Stone did an updated version of this in the 90's...but RAP & BRITNEY!!! had curiously crept into it. So, I didn't pay it much attention.

I made a series of tapes (5 or 6) of the 1988 Top 100--counting down from #100 ("People Get Ready" by The Impressions) to #1. I then duped them and gave them as Christmas gifts to all my co-workers!!! That was a lotta duping, dude!!!

Someone broke into my car and stole my tapes, so I lost my copies. Maybe I'll redo them from CD. I used all vinyl the first time, so I could blend one song into another with the mixer. Hmmmmm..... Yeah, I guess I should reuse the vinyl. DUH :roll:

Oh Marky, you know I just love those lists... :D :D

Besides, it's not just for my entertainment... the whole community will enjoy. Peace

"I Want You", the song, every time I listen to the start of it... I somehow end up wondering if I've put "Theme From Shaft" in the record player by mistake...

Lovely song, though!

Has anyone here heard the new “Grapevine” version by Ralph McDonalds?

It's playing in my local smooth station, he did a pretty good job covering this one; it is off a new Motown tribute CD of his.
I like the CCR version as much as Marvins’, for some reason I though Fogerty wrote the song but Marky set me straight on that a while back… I need to check on Glady’s version I think it’s on a ‘Best Of” LP around here…
