" Oh, Pretty Woman” spent three weeks at number one on the
Billboard Hot 100.

“Eve of Destruction” was written by P.F. Sloan in 1965. Although Several artists
have recorded it, the best-known version was cut by Barry McGuire. The vocal
track was a rough mix and was not intended to be the final version, but a DJ
obtained a copy of the recording and began airing it. The song became an
instant hit and a more polished vocal track was never recorded.

Barry McGuire will be 76 on the 15th of October

“Cherish” remained in the top position for three weeks

“The Letter” by the Box tops held the #1 position for a total of four
weeks and was ranked as the #1 record of 1967.

The song “That’ll Be the Day” had its genesis as the result of a trip to the
movies by Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison and Sonny Curtis in June 1956. The
John Wayne film The Searchers was playing at the theater. Wayne’s
frequently used catchphrase…”that’ll be the day” inspired the
musicians and this song was written.
