312. Say It Loud! I’m Black and I’m Proud: James Brown- How about an Undercover Brother II?
313. That’s Entertainment: The Jam- Popular Euro group no one in America knows!
314. Why Do Fools Fall in Love: Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers- Lymon hit it big in 1956 and OD’d on heroin in 1968. He was 25.
315. Lonely Teardrops: Jackie Wilson- In 1975, Wilson sang the line “My heart is crying” and collapsed on stage. He entered a coma and died in 1984.

318. Wake Up Little Susie: The Everly Brothers- This song about a teen couple innocently falling asleep got banned in 1957.
319. In Dreams: Roy Orbison- This turned Orbison into a headliner. His opening acts? The Rolling Stones and Beatles.
320. I Put a Spell On You: Screamin’ Jay Hawkins- Look up the video on you tube. It’s worth it.
321. Comfortably Numb: Pink Floyd- Another song that’s about 300 spots too low. A lot of people consider Gilmore’s solo the best of all time.
