I LIKE IT LIKE THAT...Chris Kenner, 1961...Was a MONSTER hit in this area, stayed #1 on WKEE-AM 6 weeks

HEY JUDE...Beatles, 1968...Claimed by some to be the best-selling Beatles' single of all, it's actually in second place behind "I want To Hold Your Hand". Both were monsters in the Tri-state area.

THEME FROM "A SUMMER PLACE"...Percy faith & his orchestra, 1960-Possibly the greatest instrumental hit in the Tri-State area, at least since I've lived here.
