Our Favorite Song(s)

by Posted on

We close out the month of June with WESU’s Favorite Song……well, both of them! After the original tally of our staff and listener ballots, a clear winner topped our charts. But during the daily posting of our songs, we noticed that due to typos, a beloved local song’s votes were split among the different spellings. And so, instead of just one #1 Favorite song, check out our….

Favorite Song from the Original Tally:
That’s the Way of the World by Earth, Wind & Fire

Year Released: 1975
Released On: That’s the Way of the World
Nominated by Michael Benson of 75% Folk
Nominated by Madman Donovan of Reggae Voyage who says: The song talks about how the world is so cold but we can make a difference if we look deep in our hearts.
Nominated by Cath from Buffalo who says: EWF was such an important part of may high school and college listening!

Mathematically Demonstrable Favorite Song:
In the Still of the Night by The Five Satins

Year Released: 1956
Released On: Standord
Nominated by Tom and Stan from North Carolina.
Nominated by Larry of Moondog Matinee who says: The definitive doo wop song of all time that defined and set the tone for that era.
Nominated by Jim ‘The Curator’ of The Wax Museum Show who says: Number 1 Doo-Wop of all time. Recorded at St. Bernadette’s church basement in New Haven.
Nominated by Robbie of Homegrown who says: This doo top classic, recorded in the basement of a New Haven Catholic school never made the top of the charts- yet remains one of the best known doo-wop songs of all time. Freddie always was appreciative of the love from WESU’s Oldie’s Block.
