These are two of my top 3 favorite songs ever, and have been #1 or #2 or #3 for almost 40 years now.

The Beatles ~ Yesterday

The Beatles ~ Help

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCGvZgDvtkU

In my opinion, "Yesterday" is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. 
"Help" is the one that I can relate to the most. Gives me chills every time I hear it.

Herman's Hermits recorded the song "Silhouettes " in 1965 after hearing the song on American Armed Forces Radio. It reached number 1 in Canada (In both RPM and CHUM charts). It became their third hit in the "British Invasion" of the US, reaching number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also reached the top 5 in the UK. Information from Peter Noone and others indicates that guitarist Vic Flick played on the track, and not Jimmy Page as previously thought.

A record that was made a hit purely by the efforts of pirate (illegal) radio...the BBC wouldn't touch it, saying it was too 'raunchy'! Eh?

In at #8 was Jack London and the Sparrows, a group that formed in Oshawa, Ontario in 1964.  After departing from Jack Sparrow (real name Dave Marden), they moved to California in 1967 and changed their name to Steppenwolf.  It is often said that the band formed in America in 1967, which is incorrect, however because they changed their name while living in America, they never qualified as a Canadian group by CANCON rules.  Here they are with Jack London when they were The Sparrows ...

Al Martino - Spanish Eyes


The man who will forever hold the achievement of having the first #1 record in Britain ('Here In My Heart' - 1952)

But 'Spanish Eyes' is what he's best remembered for - was a big favourite on easy-listening shows and finally became a huge hit here in 1973...

Another biggie on the the same easy-listening shows was this, but unlike 'Spanish Eyes', its success was instantaneous...

"Yesterday" is a song by the English rock band The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was first released on the album Help! in August 1965, except in the United States, where it was issued as a single in September. The song reached number one on the US charts. It subsequently appeared on the UK EP Yesterday in March 1966 and made its US album debut on Yesterday and Today, in June 1966. McCartney's vocal and acoustic guitar, together with a string quartet, essentially made for the first solo performance of the band. It remains popular today and, with more than 2,200 cover versions, is one of the most covered songs in the history of recorded music. "Yesterday" was voted the best song of the 20th century in a 1999 BBC Radio 2 poll of music experts and listeners and was also voted the No. 1 pop song of all time by MTV and Rolling Stone magazine the following year.

McCartney is the only member of the Beatles to appear on the track. The final recording was so different from other works by the Beatles that the band members vetoed the release of the song as a single in the United Kingdom, although other artists were quick to record versions of it for single release. The Beatles recording was issued as a single there in 1976 and peaked at number 8.

Il Silenzio (The Silence) is an instrumental piece, with a small spoken Italian lyric, notable for its trumpet theme. It released in 1965 by trumpet player Nini Rosso, its thematic melody being an extension of the same Italian Cavalry bugle call used by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky to open his Capriccio Italien (often mistaken for the U.S. military bugle call "Taps"). It has become a worldwide instrumental standard that has sold around 10 million copies. It was a number one hit in Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and sold over five million copies by the end of 1967. Rosso was awarded a gold disc. On 9 January 1965 it reached the Number 2 position in Australia and stayed in the charts for 19 weeks, and in the United Kingdom it peaked at number 8 on the Record Retailer singles chart. In the United States it reached #32 in the Billboard Easy Listening Charts. In Canada, the song reached #24 in the RPM Adult Contemporary charts.
