I want to go back to Arthur Conley, Jr. and The Supremes for a moment.  Arthur Conley had soul...

No soul at all here...

Another #2 hit by the Who in UK was "I'm A Boy" (1966):


Love that song! The first time I played it in the car the kids were like "WHAT is this song about??" Too funny.

I had no idea -- or I forgot -- that it did that well on the UK charts. Cool.

It's interesting to see which song was at #1 at the moment the mentioned song reached #2, as Hello Goodbye is doing.

These were the #1 hits of my previous #2 mentions:

"She's Not There" (The Zombies) was second to "Mr. Lonely" (Bobby Vinton) in December 1964.
"Barbara Ann" (The Beach Boys) was second to "We Can Work It Out" (The Beatles) in January 1966.
"Daydream" (The Lovin' Spoonful) was second to "(You're My) Soul And Inspiration" (The Righteous Brothers) in April 1966.
"Never My Love" (The Association) was second to "The Letter" (The Box Tops) in October 1967.
"Born To Be Wild" (Steppenwolf) was second to "People Got To Be Free" (The Rascals) in August 1968.
"Proud Mary" (Creedence Clearwater Revival) was second to "Everyday People" (Sly & The Family Stone) in March 1969.

In a couple of cases I'm not familiar with the #1 hit!

"Mellow Yellow" (Donovan, 1966)
! No longer available


It was second to "Winchester Cathedral" (New Vaudeville Band) in December 1966.

The 5th Dimension's medley Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In, also from Hair, held onto the #1 position in the spring of 1969.

Wait!  I just noticed that Roger Daltrey didn't twirl his microphone.  Now that would have helped too.

Maybe the censors told him he couldn't.  ;D

It's not often easy and not often kind but The Rolling Stones' Paint It Black held onto the #1 spot.

Was it reality or just a dream to me that The Monkees' Daydream Believer kept this song from being #1?

You're very observant to have noticed that! What a cute kid Barry Cowsill was. He and Susan were especially cute in a family of cuteness. I feel very bad for their loss.

A pair of 45s made me open my eyes, my temperature started to rise when this song couldn't top Gilbert O'Sullivan's Alone Again (Naturally).  Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress had it all!

What is the make of the guitar being played? I can't make out the logo on the tuner head. It's a nice looking guitar.

Bill Cowsill is playing a Hofner single cutaway custom six-string electric guitar.  His brother is playing a Hofner 500/1 bass.
