Comment:

This is a mix of 10.5% of 257 songs that I reviewed from my frie_nd Jim's collection. Jim has a radio show called the Grinder's Grooveyard on KPOO radio (89.5 FM) on Monday nights for three hours be_ginning at 8:30pm, Pacific time. This may be the last installment in the series (at least for a while). The mix has two songs each by Ray Ch_arles and The Shirelles (pictured). The first ch_arted number given is how the song did as R&B and the second ch_arted number (or the one after the comma) is how it did as Pop.
