Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Apparently 1969 was a great year for hits (with parentheses).......2004-02-10

The final CD in the "EW" year by year look at the hits of the Sixties ends on a strong note with "Entertainment Weekly: The Greatest Hits 1969." There are only a pair of #1 hits from 1969 included in the dozen tracks collected here, but they are the only two songs to hold the top spot for six weeks: The 5th Dimension's fun medley of "Hair" songs, "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures), and the greatest one hit wonders of the decade, "In the Year 2525 (Exordius and Terminus)" by Zager & Evans. Apparently you needed parentheses to have a really big hit that year.

In terms of signature songs by other artists you have "It's Your Thing" by the Isley Brothers and Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man." You will not find the big hits by the biggest groups, but decent songs by the next tier of groups, with "These Eyes" by the Guess Who, "One" by Three Dog Night, and "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James & The Shondells. The problem would be that you probably have all of those, so your willingness to pick up this CD is going to be based on whether you want to add the other hits by the Friends of Distinction, Harry Nilsson, and Spiral Starecase. In the one hit wonder category there are two notable tracks with "Worst That Could Happen" by Brooklyn Bridge and "Get Together" by the Youngbloods.
