Top Pop Songs USA 1967

Year-end charted and peaked songs of the American Radio top 40 Charts

[@jenniferdnoseworthy2348]

I was born in 67. I always say 15 yrs too late, love the music.

[@KristenOckertFineArt]

My mom was 15 and my dad was 18 in 1967. I am almost 40 but I grew up on this music thanks to their great taste 👍

[@GenericUsername1388]

Nice! My parents were both born in the 60s but I was born in 2004. They didn't really introduce this music to me, more like I just found it myself during covid lockdowns and loved it ever since 😁

[@strickly60s45]

Yes Kristen..I can relate to your position...in 1967 I was 16...the teens of that time that were music lovers had a Tremendous Selection Of Great Songs And Genres Back From 63-69. My daughter was born in 1983 and you can be sure that I introduced her to these lovable winning tunes from an early age...I still can recall her singing "Bang Bang" by Sonny & Cher. Great Tunes Here. Thanks.

"My Cup Runneth Over" is a beautiful song.

[@barbarapatterson4308]

I Love hearing these songs from when I was growing up.

[@johnnytoobad7785]

1967 was the year The local jukebox guy started giving me 45 rpm records. After 200 plays they would typically replace the record. My dad owned a bar so I got to hear a lot of this music..on a real juke box. There were two records that constantly got replaced. Gimme some lovin' and You've lost that loving feeling. When my dad sold the bar in '73 those two songs still had high "play counts". Those tunes by the Rascals and the Stones weren't far behind. I ended up with a few scratchy copies of Gimme some lovin'. Still love it.

The Monkees dominated in ‘67! Whoooo Hoooo!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!

They were very good, yes, also for some songs not played in that video , as 'A little bit me...', 'She', 'The girl I knew somewhere', 'Sweet young thing' , 'Saturday's child', 'Words', 'Pleasant valley Sunday', that they played in 1967 or even before, in the end of 1966, I believe. And they still did even very good songs afterwards, but I won't cite them all...

It amazes me that while "To Sir With Love" by Lulu was a huge hit here in the United States, it didn't chart in the UK. True story.

[@trevorbailey1548]

In the UK it was the B side to the top 10 hit Let's Pretend

[@robertewalt7789]

I recall Lulu having a TV show in the UK, in 1968.

[@kentonwatts504]

the song was also a movie with the same title as the song in America with one of the greatest actors Sidney Poitier among others including LuLu who sang the song in the movie. If your ever inclined to see a classic this is one worth the time. Then I think you'll discover why. My older sister had the single in her high school years and on weekends when she was dating I would seek into her room and play all her music.

Just like all the other years,so many great songs came out in '67! I'm surprised there's only one song of The Doors on here! A good while back I watched a documentary about the Cowsills. It was excellent & ended very sadly.

One of my first albums, though, was The Fifth Dimension. Then it was The Temptations, Puzzle People, Cloud Nine and Psychedelic Shack.

[@racketman2u]

It's sad that the 5th Dimension are almost forgotten now; hearing "Up, Up and Away" recently for the first time in decades really put a smile on my face.

[@derricklogan2058]

But for those of us who still have 45's, 33 1/3rds and cassettes and maybe an 8 Track or Reel-to-Reel, groups like these will always be remembered! And surprisingly, many young people now are actually rediscovering our musical treasured youth experience, so all is not forgotten yet! Because of my parents influence and my brother and sister enjoying some music 🎵 which I had never considered, I just listened to so many cultures from around the globe! All of this "Booming Madness" with no singing, no instruments is what I want to forget! It's just ANGRY "music!" (If one can even call it music).

5:15 Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love 5:43 Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth. Weak performance, but unusual music. The fashion for this will come in the mid-90s, they performed it back in 1967 a quarter of a century earlier. 11:37 I'm a Believer - The Monkees

[@VERMALA]

: Effectivement , une place de 40 ième pour ce groupe (Procol Harum et son titre ... ) ne me parait pas représentatif au vu du succès rencontré par ce groupe avec ce titre de légende ( du moins en France ) . Idem pour Scott McKenzie et son titre "San Francisco " ...

La chanson des Moody Blues n'a pas fonctionné aux States en 1967. En revanche, la réédition en 1972 a mieux marché (tu peux le retrouver sur le top 1972). "Good vibrations" a été un énorme succès en 1966 (pareil, tu peux le retrouver dans le top 1966) ;)

Francis, I love this video. If you don't mind my saying, there is one song that I wish that you had included. I so wished that you had included "To Love Somebody" by The Bee Gees. I know there was a reason it wasn't, but I think that is the definitive version of the song. I know you have Nina Simone's version in another video, and Michael Bolton's version in yet another. Both are great versions. I know there was a reason for not having it, and I do understand that.

They also weren't being fair to other more deserving artists during that time like all the surfer rock, doo-wop and the more edgier fare from the late 60's by hogging up the top charts from them and they were also facing problems during that point from behind-the-scenes drama, turmoil and don't get me started on the infamous "Popular than Jesus" phrase that got redneck America all up in arms despite that it was just taken out of context.
