KFXM September 26, 1969
Suspicious Minds-Elvis Presley #1 Highest debut Lodi-Al Wilson #24 New Ball Of Fire-Tommy James & The Shondells
1969 turned out some of the most "religious" hits to grace the charts: --OH HAPPY DAY --JESUS IS A SOULMAN --I GUESS THE LORD MUST BE IN NY CITY --WITCHI TAI TO (kinda religious)
yes, Anony, i seem to recall The Winston's 1969 Top 40 hit, "Colour Me, Father (Colour me Love)", "God, Love & Rock 'N' Roll" by Teagarden & Van Winkle, and Neil Diamond's "SOOLAIMON" as other examples of faith-based/religious-oriented pop recordings... as a matter of fact, the 1969-1970 era produced the most popular mass appeal recordings of this genre -- then-called "Jesus Rock" (e.g., Ocean's "Put Your Hand In The Hand", Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In The Sky", "One Toke Over The Line" by Brewer & Shipley, and George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord").
