- #3: “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” by Connie Francis
Brenda Lee performed “I’m Sorry” at just 15 years old, and it went on to hit #1 on the Billboard chart. It’s had a bit of a modern renaissance with appearances in Beyonce’s 2016 “Formation World Tour” concert movie.- #2: “Quarter to Three” by U.S. BondsYou’ve probably heard of “Animal House,” the frat movie that launched a genre of gross-out comedies. “Tossin’ and Turnin’” was featured on the soundtrack, though it had a successful Billboard run on its own back in ’61.
performed by “Game of Thrones” star Kit Harington and Coldplay, though, didn’t do much for its reputation.- #2: “Windy” by The AssociationDon’t give the British all the credit, though; Americans eventually caught on to the style: With its jazzy drums and catchy electric piano riffs, “Light My Fire” catapulted Jim Morrison and the Doors to stardom in the United States, with a subsequent cover version by Puerto Rican artist José Feliciano bringing it even higher.
