The year before the death of Dr. King....
Arthur Conley had a big big hit record "Sweet Soul Music":
Place from the beginning to the end of the 1967 song "Sweet Soul Music", the verses which discuss the following artists (the last verse ending with "He's the king of them all, y'all)
1 - James Brown
2 - Wilson Pickett
3- Lou Rawls
4- Otis Redding
5- Sam and Dave
(The five verses were, more or less, in increasing order of reputation, and, I think, those reputations have been preserved to the current day)

Everybody must have Spring Fever.

I think Sprots is right Doc.
It looks like it is just the 3 of us.
Maybe next week?

Does it sound like I have no idea? Right you are!
The board already is acting wonky for me, so if I disappear, it will not be of my own choosing.

Well, not only did Sprots and Christie have the same answer, a chance which I calculate as 1/5!, or 1 in 120.
But the answer does not contain a single song at the proper place.
A chance which I calculate as 4! / 5!, or 1 in 5.
Any othre answerers?

Maybe others can't get in here. I've been bounced three times in the last 20 minutes, and the only way I've gotten back is to close out Explorer and start all over again.

And it takes six digits for me to write down five numbers. Yes, indeed.

Silver is very close.

Lou Rawls _ "singing Love's A Hurtin Thing"
Sam and Dave "singin Hold on I'm a Comin"
Wilson Pickett 'that Wicked, wicket Pickett,singin Mustag Sally"
Otis Redding , singin Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa,etc
James Brown , he's the king of them all.
Rawls, Pickett and Brown died in the same calendar year, recently.
