Subject: Help with "You got what it takes" song.
Written By: Bethey on 12/07/04 at 6:52 pm
Okay, I'm making my Dad a CD of oldies for Christmas and he LOVES this one song that goes:
"""You don't drive a great, white car, you don't look like a movie star, and on your money we won't get far, but BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY, You got what it takes.
"'''You don't like in beautiful place, you don't dress in the best of taste, and nature didn't give you such a beauitful face, but BABYYYYYYY, You got what it takes!"
Can anyone get a song title and singer out of those words? This is one of his favorite songs! ::) 8) ;D :D :) :\'(

Well, you've answered half your question in your post title, Bethey...
It is indeed called 'You Got What It Takes' and was a big hit for Marv Johnson back in 1960...fine song too...
(Stay away from Dave Clark's version tho'...!!)

Marv Johnson's version hit number 10 on the Billboard charts and it hit the top 40 in late 1959 (into 1960)
The Dave Clark 5 version hit number 7 on the Billboard charts and it hit the top 40 in spring 1967.
That's according to the Billboard book of Top 40 hits... ;)
