    21. I Got What It Takes Ko Ko Taylor

    Did not know this, and the version I found first is a later one, but
    better than the '64 version IMO.

    It's just "Millie". There is no "Small"--that only appears on later
    issues (as in USA). I got tired of this one fairly quickly. JUst a 6

    106 ¦ The Boy From New York City ¦ Ad-Libs
    #126 - 7
    108 ¦ Iko Iko ¦ Dixie Cups

    only #1 here) its not up there with their best for me.

    171 ¦ In My Lonely Room ¦ Martha & Vandellas

    #294 - 7
    183 ¦ Downtown ¦ Petula Clark
    #149 - 7. Veteran UK songstress (going right back to the late 1940's)
    with easily the best thing she ever did IMO

    191 ¦ Oh No, Not My Baby ¦ Maxine Brown1
    #23 - 8
    200 ¦ Wish Someone Would Care ¦ Irma Thomas
    #4 - 10
    209 ¦ I've Got No Time To Lose ¦ Carla Thomas
