Hi Steve.
First of all, I would like to compilment you on your writing.
I kind of feel my writing is somewhat simplistic now, but I'll try anyway.
<<<<< Jim, did you buy 'My Girl' when it was #12, 8, 9, or 1, etc ? :-) >>>>>
To tell you the truth back then I was about 12 years old, so I did go by what was played on the radio often.
But in later years as I got older and my taste for music progressed, I used the national top 100 charts as a shopping list (if you will) of singles that a particlar artist(s)released.
It really didn't matter to me then what it's charted position was.
I pretty much bought without even sampling the song.
Most of the time I was satisfied with a hidden good quality tune.
