A4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, June 17, 1981 Pop music guide By Mike Cochran FORT WORTH, TEX, (AP) — In 1942, the world was at war, but Bing Crosby had North America dreaming of a White Christmas, It was the runaway hit song of the year and would, of course, become an American classic — quali- fications enough to earn a place in a recently-pub- Tished book by Elston Brooks. Called the ultimate guide to popular music, T've Hard Those Songs Be- fore is the only known compilation of the Top 190 songs since 1980, listed week-by-week. Hardly earth-shattering perhaps, but Songs ia al- most as much fun as it is informative. And, as Brooks, .long- time show business colum- nist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, says: “At Jeast it will eliminate all those 1 a.m. barroom bet phone calls...” In case you've ever won- dered, the song longest on Your Hit Parade, the Sat- urday night radio netword show launched in 1935, was People Will Say We're In Love, The year was 1948 and the record was 80 weeks. Belly dancers An Arabian treat. An Arabian treat awaits those who attend the “Middle Fretina, Fantasy” on Friday evenin, The Brothers of the Baladi, a professional band touring the province will provide the music for this Arabian night of entertainment. The Broth- ers play a wide variety of music using an assortment of exotic instruments such as the dumbeck, the mizmar, the nai, the deff and an oud. Besides middle eastern, : melodies they also do blues, 4 But the tune that remained No. 1 the longest was Too Young, Nat King Cole's Ulting love sone of 1951, Tt was No. 1 for a dozen weeks, You may be surprised to learn tha Stardust never made it to the top. Even stranger, the No, 1 tune of hte depression year 1930: Happy Daya Are Here Again. Ls How about 1969, when: U.S. astronauts were put- ting footprints on the moon? Or 1974, when Pres- tdent Nixon resigned? And 1956, the year of Elvis Presley? In'1969 it was Aquarius and in 1974 it was-1 Hon- estly Love You. Elvis was all over the 1956 Hit Parade with such tunes as Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, and Love Me Tender. But the winner, with seven weeks as No, 1: Canadian Sunset. Elvis never had a single son dominate the charts long ‘enough to win yearly honors, but the Beatles did. It was I: Want to Hold’ Your Hand in 1964, Incidentally, it was Goodnight, Sweetheart and All of Me that mon- opolized the top spot dur- ing the 1991-1992 origin- ation year of Stardust, ' rock and folk, plus a pot- pourre of other types of tunes which they label “ba- joulay." The Brothers will also be accompanying more than 20, dancers from the Castlegar and Nelson belly-dancing classes. The girls and their instruc- .tors Jane Duryea from Nel- son and Melinda Morgan from Castlegar will be pre- senting trios, duets, and .at least one solo dance.
