We wrapped up the countdown of the #1 hits in 1966 on Thursday and as promised, today we’re playing a long medley of songs from that year that didn’t reach #1 but were still all classics.

I would humbly suggest that most of these songs were better than the songs that did top the charts in 1966, but maybe that’s just me.

I have listed the peak chart position of each song indicated in parentheses next to the artists’ name … with one exception. The final song in the medley was never released as a single but it’s included in the medley because it was one hell of a cover song!

I hope you have enjoyed the weeklong look back at an epic year in music. There’s another one coming up, beginning on Sunday!
