Willie Nelson recorded Let It Be Me on February 9, 1982. His version was released as a single in July and reached #2 on the country chart (behind Ronnie Milsap's He Got You) and #40 on the Hot 100 in October 1982. Let It Be Me was adapted from Je T'appartiens, a French-language song written by Pierre Delanoë (lyrics) and Gilbert Bécaud (music). Bécaud's original recording was released as the B-side of Ça in September 1955.

With English-language lyrics written by Mann Curtis, the song became Let It Be Me. The song has also been translated into Dutch, Danish, Czech, Chinese, German, Hebrew, Finnish, Estonian, Greek, Spanish, Swedish, Hungarian, Icelandic and Portuguese. It has been recorded by more than 400 artists including Cliff Richard, Chet Atkins, Melanie, Dionne Warwick, Sandy Posey, Acker Bilk, Floyd Cramer, Andy Williams, Bobby Darin, Al Martino, Johnny Nash, Mitch Ryder, Tom Jones, Jim Ed Brown, Petula Clark, Dave Edmunds, B.J. Thomas, Sam & Dave, Kenny Rogers & Dottie West, Glen Campbell & Bobbie Gentry, Betty Everett & Jerry Butler, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, the Lettermen, the Fleetwoods, the Playmates, the Sylvers, the Everly Brothers, the Pointer Sisters, the Sweet Inspirations, the 5th Dimension, the Anita Kerr Singers and the Johnny Mann Singers.

The first English-language version was recorded on March 8, 1957 by Jill Corey and the Jimmy Carroll Orchestra and was released as a single just three days later. It reached #57 on the Top 100 in April.

 
Je T'appartiens means "I belong to you" in French. Here is Bécaud's original recording. It was the B-side of Ça, which Bécaud co-wrote with Charles Aznavour. In November 1955, the French newspaper Le Figaro began publishing a weekly top-ten chart based on sheet music sales. The monthly music magazine Music Hall also published a top-ten chart, which was based on record sales. Neither side of Bécaud's recording made either of those charts. Poor baby!

849ec66b71f5b46eaaf54fdc6fd56492.jpg


02 02 STEVE MILLER BAND - ABRACADABRA
My guess

01 01 JOHN COUGAR - JACK & DIANE
At least one other person guessed this so I lose.

#76 Yaz "Situation"
#79 Missing Persons "Destination Unknown"
#83 Eddie Money "Shakin'"
#94 Huey Lewis & The News "Workin' For A Livin'"
#96 Clash "Should I Stay Or Should I Go"
Good/great songs
 
#76 Yaz "Situation" - Disappointing
#79 Missing Persons "Destination Unknown" - Surprise.
#81 Cheap Trick "She's Tight" - A little bit of a bummer. I thought it would have made it to 60 or the high 50's.
#83 Eddie Money "Shakin' - Shocker
#94 Huey Lewis & The News "Workin' For A Livin'" - Shocker
#96 Clash "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" - Big surprise.

I think I need to see if we have a thread for horribly sappy songs like this, and Feelings by Morris Albert, and After the Loving by Englebert Humperdink. They deserve to be singled out.

Agree.
 
I think I'm missing one or two in the "later" section

OCT 1989

EARLIER
Fine Young Cannibals "Good Thing"
Prince "Batdance"
Richard Marx "Right Here Waiting"
NKOTB "Hanging Tough"
Paula Abdul "Cold Hearted"

Roxette "Listen To Your Heart"
Milli Vanilli "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You"
Janet Jackson "Miss You Much"

LATER
Bad English "When I See You Smile"
Billy Joel "We Didn't Start The Fire"
Milli Vanilli "Blame It On The Rain"
 
Haven't listened to the VJ yet. Not looking at what anyone has posted since my post. Just adding a late thought about 89. I'd like to add "Don't Want To Lose You" by Gloria Estefan to my EARLIER list.
