It was 40 years ago today....




...according to my copy of The Billboard Book of Number One Hits, that two really great pop tunes were in the top five.


For the week of April 15, 1967, the number 2 song in the country was the Turtles' Happy Together, a song written by Gary Bonner and Allen Gordon (these guys also wrote She'd Rather be With Me.)

And the number 5 song was the Monkees' A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You, a song written by Neil Diamond. (I've yet to hear the Ventures' version, at least in its entirety.)

Both songs - I love them both - bring me back to more innocent days.
