[78-L] top ten radio tunes on Dec 7 1941-?

[David Lennick]

YOUR HIT PARADE, December 6, 1941:

1.  TONIGHT WE LOVE (Wouldn't you know it! I'm barfing already)
2.  ELMER'S TUNE
3.  CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO
4.  SHEPHERD SERENADE
5.  I DON'T WANT TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE
6.  THIS LOVE OF MINE
7.  YOU AND I
8.  JIM
9.  A SINNER KISSED AN ANGEL
10. EV'RYTHING I LOVE

This reminds me..back in 1977, we did a series of weekend specials on CHFI 
called "10 Unforgettable Days". One of the days we re-created was December 7, 
1941. I seem to recall that we interrupted "I Don't Want to Set the World on 
Fire" with the Pearl Harbor announcement.
