Happy October! I thought it would be pretty neat to take a look back to see what we were listening to as October started fifty years ago.

Back in October of 1970, Diana Ross had a huge hit with Ain’t Not Mountain High Enough, CCR’s Lookin Out My Back Door was at it’s highest position on the charts at #2, and the trio Dawn, led by the one and only Tony Orlando, was at #3 with Candida which stayed on the charts for 11 weeks.

Here are the top five for your listening pleasure!
