The 101 number one song of the day spawned a lyrical mystery that puzzled listeners for years. It was actually the “B” side of a song that few people will remember but this was one flip side that made such an impact on the American scene that a movie was made about it 9 years after it was a hit.  It was written and performed by Roberta Lee Streeter who always felt that those pre-occupied by the mystery missed the point of the song, which she said was “sort of a study in unconscious cruelty. The real message revolves around the nonchalant way a family talks about a tragedy that affected a member of that family,” according to Streeter whose song was number one in the U.S. on August 27, 1967. By this time she had changed her last name to Gentry. Here’s Bobby Gentry with the 101 number one of the day (Ode to Billie Joe)

Yesterday we talked about the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and you can read about it in yesterday’s blog.  Today we came across the 100 Greatest Beatles’ songs of all time as determined by Rolling Stone Magazine.  Just the mere fact that a list can be compiled containing 100 songs from a single group should be indication enough that the Fab Four deserves the title as the “Greatest” but that remains to be seen.  In the meantime, the Beatles’ best song according to RSM is:

Here’s a list of the top 10:

1. “A Day in the Life”

2. “I Want To Hold Your Hand”

3. “Strawberry Fields Forever”

4. “Yesterday”

5. “In My Life”

6. “Something”

7. “Hey Jude”

8. “Let It Be”

9. “Come Together”

10. “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”

Just sneaking in at No. 100 is “Hello, Goodbye.”
