And here was the NYC top 10 on my birthday, 11/24/65:
1 2 A TASTE OF HONEY - Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass 2 1 I HEAR A SYMPHONY - The Supremes 3 4 RESCUE ME - Fontella Bass 4 8 1-2-3 - Len Barry 5 9 I GOT YOU (I Feel Good) - James Brown & The Famous Flames 6 6 LET’S HANG ON! - The 4 Seasons 7 3 A LOVER’S CONCERTO - The Toys 8 7 YOU’VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY - The Silkie 9 5 GET OFF OF MY CLOUD - The Rolling Stones 10 13 HANG ON SLOOPY - The Ramsey Lewis Trio
I Hear a Symphony, The Supremes Turn, Turn, Turn, The Byrds 1-2-3, Len Barry Let's Hang On, The Four Seasons featuring the Sound of Frankie Valli Get Off Of My Cloud, The Rolling Stones Rescue Me, Fontella Bass A Taste of Honey, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Ain't That Peculiar, Marvin Gaye I Got You, James Brown Hey, You Got To Hide Your Love Away, Silkie
Little Jimmy Dickens reached #17 with "May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose" (and, no, I did not make that up). "Don't Think Twice," recorded by Wonder Who? was at #32. Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs returned to the charts at #36 with "Rand Dang Doo" (which I'm pretty sure I have never heard). S&G were in the Hot 100 with "The Sound of Silence"--at #65.

Thanks, Bill.
I believe it was "Ring Dang Doo" and I also believe Bill and I both know it.
Yes, I remember that one. It was a high here in Texas. Maybe not as big a one as it was on that survey for today, though.
