Looks like number 1 on the charts for the longest, nine weeks in 1960 goes to Percy Faith, Theme from “A Summer Place”. Back when music was actually good (I’m only 37yrs old). Interesting that an instrumental was so popular, beating a lot of Elvis songs that year.

November 14, 1973 -- Eddie Kendricks, "Keep on Truckin'"

Seems entirely appropriate for a 45+ year old airplane.

Carole King - It's Too Late / I Feel The Earth Move. I've heard of Carole King but have no idea what the song is.

Edit - I went and looked it up and I have heard that song before. Not bad for 1971.
