(VANITY) TOURNAMENT OF CHART-TOPPERS ('60S) - ROUND 2

me | 1/19/20 | me

[the OlLine Rebel]

Nifster - did you deliberately not vote on many of the early pairs?

[Nifster]

First time I voted was January 12 on chart toppers. The next notice I hit was this set of pairings

Any others I didn’t vote on was inadvertent. Just meant I didn’t see the post

I meant specifically this round and that post. You are missing about 5 pairs - should have 32 picks but only show 27.

Did you mean to leave out those pairs of songs? That is OK, I just like to know.

OK, thanks!

Thank you!

[the OlLine Rebel]

Cboldt - did you mean to ignore this or just a mistake?

[Cboldt]

-- did you mean to ignore this or just a mistake?
2 1960 "He'll Have to Go" Jim Reeves
6 1960 "I'm Sorry" Brenda Lee --

I meant to not choose from that pair. Neither title rang a tune in my head. Thanks for asking, and thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[Tanniker Smith]

Some of these were picked because I’m only really familiar with one of the two (so did the other not make an impression or have I really never heard it?). Some are a coin toss because I don’t remember either. But how do you choose between Louis Armstrong and Roy Orbison??
