Hi Brat!  :)

I'm sorry, but that is incorrect.  Oh, and just to let you know...I wouldn't include the title within the lyrics because that would be too obvious.  ;)

Incorrect maybe, but there is a Smokey song in here...

#8. 'Being With You' - Smokey Robinson (not his best...Karen & I have ascertained what that is...but not bad...)

#18. 'I Saw The Light' - Todd Rundgren (great song...)

...and I'm going to have one of my legendary swipes at...

#12. 'You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine' - Lou Rawls...I keep running the song through my head, but these lyrics don't quite seem to fit - worth a guess, tho'...wonderful song...

Nice work, Paul!  :)

And just to let you know, the lyric I chose for "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" comes right after 'the rhythm, the rhyme' part.  ;)

Hey!

Okay, you got the right artist but wrong song.  I believe the song in question was on the same album as the one you mentioned... :)

from the hint, I'd say #11 is the (Young) Rascals

from the lyric, I'd guess "A Beautiful Morining"

Hi Karen...

...since you bumped us all very nicely, I'll attempt the clear-up...!

#19. judging by the clues is The Rolling Stones, and the only #1 they had in '69 both here and in America was 'Honky Tonk Women'...

...here comes the 'but' - after repeated plays, I can't find these lyrics anywhere...!! I'll go for it anyway...

The title for #20. is 'It's My Turn' (which I had to dig out for confirmation...not heard it in years...)

Once again, another good 'un, Karen...

Sometimes it doesn't to pay to go from memory.  Perhaps I misheard these lyrics somewhere along the line.  At any rate, you nailed the song, Paul.  Pretty good if you can pull this from my sloppiness.... ;)
