I went with Ray Charles - one of his best!

[55dodger]

Tough choice on the poll between three excellent R&B classics, Save the Last Dance for Me, Chian Gang, & Georgia on My Mind. Finally went with Chain Gang. Great song.

[shaunsmorninggirl]

A very tough choice. I adored Ray, but I had to also go with Chain Gang.

[Ken]

I think I'll go with The Drifters

[H2IZCOOL]

I went with Poetry in Motion, Johnny Tillotson's only real venture into rock in a career that was primarily country.

But a lot of other great ones in the top 10:
Save the Last Dance For Me
Chain Gang
You Talk Too Much
Devil or Angel and
Georgia on My Mind being among my favorites.

Other faves i the top 50 include:

So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad)
Blue Angel
Theme From "The Apartment"
Stay
Mr. Custer
Kiddio
To Each His Own
Alone At Last
It's Now Or Never
New Orleans
Diamonds And Pearls
A Thousand Stars
Walk--Don't Run
Tonights The Night

Went with Brenda Lee's "I Want to Be Wanted."

Great tune!
