Good list but what does the "?" mean for #1?

For me I'll give 10+1 (in no particular order) and some interesting instrumentals

1. Oh How Happy -- Shades of Blue
2. Things We Said Today + Eleanor Rigby -- The Beatles
3. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me -- Mel Carter
4. Baby, Now That I've Found You -- The Foundations
5. Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing -- Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
6. Things I'd Like to Say -- New Colony Six
7. Something in the Air -- Thunderclap Newman
8. The Look of Love -- Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66
9. The Girl From Impanema -- Stan Gertz & Joao Gilberto
10. This Old Heart of Mine -- The Isley Brothers
11. Everlasting Love -- Robert Knight

And some instrumentals that sound good lately

Soul Coaxing -- Raymond Lefevre & His Orchestra
You Only Live Twice main theme -- John Barry
Midnight Cowboy main theme -- John Barry (Ferrante & Teicher version please)

;)
