We wrap up our journey back to 1967 with songs that reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 – and as discussed throughout the week, that was no easy task.

The medley includes a song by the Rolling Stones that started out as a B-Side, a Turtles’ song mistaken for a love song when it was actually a fantasy (the first words – “Imagine me and you” – should have given it away), a song from the Doors’ debut album, the last single to feature the word “Young” for the Rascals, and a father-daughter duet.
And of course, the Beatles fit in quite nicely when you consider 1967 is fondly remembered as the “Summer of Love”.

Before you play the medley, I want to point out just a few other songs from 1967 that I didn’t have time to play this week (primarily because you probably don’t want 45- minute+ medleys every day).
Brown Eyed Girl, Up, Up and Away, Western Union, Release Me, C’mon Marianne, (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher, White Rabbit, My Back Pages, I Dig Rock and Roll Music, On A Carousel, Let’s Live For Today, Bernadette, I Think We’re Alone Now, The Beat Goes On, 98.6, I Can See For Miles and Pretty Ballerina.
None of them reached #1 but they were all part of that incredible year of music.

Now then, let’s get to that medley!
