Each week I feature 10 groovy tunes that reached the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart during the last 50+ years. You can vote for your three favorites, and the five with the most votes move on to the following week when five new songs will be added to the list.
After 13 weeks in the Top 10, we bid a fond farewell to Cher's "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" and welcome a new #1 tune, Barbra Streisand's "The Way We Were", which received 33 votes out of the 170 cast. And this week Barbra will be challenged by Al Green, Rod Stewart and Madonna.
