WAGRadio wants its older listeners to answer the question - - what was your top 20 or 40 or 50 or whatever from the years 1955 [or earlier] to 1960 ? ?

maybe you will have to make a project of it . . . and look stuff up on the net and at the library etc.

Hey Sky Valley Radio
Thank you
Great top ten
WOW !!
That is a lotta luv for Joe Jones "You Talk Too Much" - it is a wonderful tune (#126 but could be much higher).
DJZigZag tells me he never listened to "Senor Blues" by Mr Silver when it came out and that's why it isn't on the Reiter Record Relic list.
Oh oh!! Omission!?? Omission???
DJZZ can never remember listening to "One For Daddy-O" by Cannonball Adderley - - he will make that a priority in the near future ! !
Thank you Sky Capn'
Sky Captain !
Ah Yes !
Now I remember the Cannonball tune "One For Daddy-O" with Miles on trumpet.
It was cut into Pt. 1&2 and put on a 45. I never heard it on as a single release.
Once again, thank you for a great top ten.
DJZZ - You're right "One For Daddy-O has the LP cut chopped into parts 1 & 2. Some more songs I should have added:
11.Bill Doggett - Honky Tonk(Parts 1 & 2
12. Slim Harpo - King Bee
13.Bo Diddley - Bring It To Jerome
14.Harry Belafonte - Day-O
15.Clue J & His Blues Blasters - Salt Lane Shuffle
16.Howlin' WOlf - Smokestack Lightnin'
17.Chuck Berry - Ridin' Along In My Automobile
18.Miles Davis - So What? (7" version)
19.Mose Allison - Seventh Son
20.Muddy Waters - I'm Ready
go ahead and publish my Top 20 with my name...dat is kool!
Sky Captain
You owe the loyal fans of WAGRadio and Da Zagster two more tunes cuz
"Ridin' Along In My Automoble" isn't a Chuck Berry 45rpm release and the Slim Harpo single "King Bee" (if it was a single?) came out in the mid-60's!
As a matter of fact the Berry tune you refer to - "No Particular Place To Go" was also released in 1964, and I think that the list was from 1955 to 1960.
Hey PorgyFrumDaHeights!
Mike Cherry may have been off on the title and date of the C. Berry 45 but he wasn't wrong with the Slim Harpo single.
"(I'm A) King Bee" was Mr. Harpo's first release on Excello records in 1957.
So the Sky Captain only owes me one to make up a top twenty.
