Yeah, that shocked me. He got votes on several different songs but not consensus on any. Praying "Suspicious Minds" makes the 60's list

ctrl + f doesn't really work very well if you spell "Mingus" as "Mignus", as it turns out ...

I'm pleasantly surprised to see these land as high as they did. I didn't know Blind Willie Johnson even had a following here. I certainly highly recommend his recordings to those who haven't already checked him out.

I think Norman stacked the deck by mentioning this song ahead of time. 
Seriously, though, it's a great song that didn't quite make my list. Certainly worth celebrating even if only for its social significance.

I expected this to land at #1 and it looks like it came quite close. Jazz brilliance.

8. "So What" - Miles Davis
10. "Better Git In Your Soul" - Charles Mingus
14. "Blue Train" - John Coltrane
20. "In The Mood" - Glenn Miller And His Orchestra
21. "'Round Midnight" - Thelonius Monk Quartet
26. "Moanin'" - Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
30. "Take Five" - The Dave Brubeck Quartet |
Overall, I'm happy about the number of instrumental jazz numbers that made it, considering how many great ones there were from this period. Five of these were on my list and all are worthy, IMO.

6. "Tutti Frutti" - Little Richard
17. "Peggy Sue" - Buddy Holly
22. "I Got A Woman" - Ray Charles
27. "That'll Be The Day" - The Crickets
28. "Wake Up Little Susie" - The Everly Brothers |
There's less rock/R&B than I expected, but these are pretty good picks. I had three of them on my list... but yeah, no Elvis is kinda crazy.
