I was doing a little research on WWIN, Baltimore. I used to have over 100 different Top 40 Sheets that they issued in the 1960's. I wish I still had them, but it caused me to do some research to see if I could locate any via the internet.

It is interesting to note that 7 of the top 40 or 18% were Motown songs. Especially noteworthy was that the Top 4 on the list were all Motown.
1. Tracks Of My Tears - Miracles
2. Since I Lost My Baby - Temptations
3. First I Look at the Purse - Contours
4. Down to Earth - Billy Eckstine
19. I'll Keep Holding On - Marvelettes
20. Pretty Little Baby - Marvin Gaye
25. It's the Same Old Song - Four Tops
What surprises me the most about the survey is #4. I do have this 45 in both vinyl and in the Complete Motown Singles series. I must admit I do not recall any of the song whatsoever. I will have to get it out and check it out. I am shocked it hit #4.
