This week, the numbers were more to my liking. Join me on a trip to 1964. Sorry screaming teenage girls, no Beatles this week. All five of these songs were relative newcomers to the Top 100, the longest on the charts was Cliff Richard at 6 weeks, and Cliff was still trending upwards. The charts at this time were in a flux with groups like Jan and Dean and the Ripcords singing about car racing and Bobby Vinton sitting in #1 position for a second week.
47 “It’s All In The Game” Cliff Richard
61 “My One and Only, Jimmy Boy” The Girlfriends
63 “Watch Your Step” Brooks O’Dell
73 “Snap Your Fingers” Barbara Lewis
99 “Coming Back To You” Maxine Brown

I really like the intro riff of this one, but I think overall it was probably my least favorite of the bunch here.

@Repairatrooper Do you randomly pick numbers in the top 100?

I use Random.org to generate the date and 5 numbers between 1 and 100. I was looking to find lost nuggets to present and this completely eliminates any bias I might add.

The Birth of Mötley Crüe
On this day in music, January 17, 1981, heavy metal history was made when bass guitarist Nikki Sixx left the band London to begin rehearsals with drummer Tommy Lee and singer/guitarist Greg Leon, effectively marking the beginning of Mötley Crüe. While Leon would depart within months, the group eventually cemented their legendary lineup with vocalist Vince Neil and guitarist Mick Mars. Fame would be their next stop, as they went on to be one of the most successful bands of their genre.
I know their first album wasn’t released until later that year, but

There’s an Elvis Costello song with the same title but otherwise different
