Pixies Three Song List Catalogued and mp3'd From My Collection:

I only have the Whitburn Top 40 Book so maybe someone could check to see how high these songs went:

House Party
Cold Cold Winter
Birthday Party
442 Glenwood Ave.
Our Love
Summertime USA
Torn Between Two Loves

There may be others, those are the only ones I can find immediately.
 
Top 40 Hits by Whitburn for Pixies Three only ilsts Birthday Party on Mercury - and a short bio. Nothing else.
 
The family trio The Browns sang about the three highlights of Jimmy Brown's life -- birth, marriage, and death -- in their #1 song from 1959, "The Three Bells," which was based on a French tune.
 
Remember The BELL Notes, with I've Had It, ("yeah, i've had it"), with an indian like tom-tom beat. Yeah, you remember that one.

P.S. My 2nd favorite song ever is Kind Of A Drag. (Not that anyone cares).
 
It was a blue record label called "Time," and in 1959 in contained The Bell Notes' "I've Had It," and on the flip was a great rock n roll side called "Be Mine."

The Bell Notes' "I've Had It," is a gem. Great to hear that one in stereo.

Speaking of "mine", the Fireflies had a great one called "You Were Mine."

Thanks, Mayberry. Re; Chicago, Bob Lamm and Danny Seraphine were buds of mine growing up in the city. I also went to high schoo with Denny Tufano of the Buskinghams.

You know those Chicago founding members? They're my second favorite- or depending on how I feel in a particular day - my favorite group behind The Beach Boys, one of the greatest rock and roll groups of all time.

Speaking of City, Jan and Dean had a goodie called Drag City from 1964.
 
And speaking MORE of city, I LOVE the Stampeders and Sweet City Woman.
 
Hello everybody, I'm Archie Bell of The Drells
And we not only sing, but we dance as good as we walk.

That may have been from "Tighten Up," but Archie & The Drells had another great tune called "Soul City Walking."
 
Correction;
Hello everybody, I'm Archie Bell of The Drells from Houston, Texas And we not only sing, but we dance as good as we walk.

"Soul City Walking" did not perform as well as their other top 10 hit (#9) called "I just Can't Stop Dancing."
 
As lead of the Temptations, Eddie Kendricks sang on some of the best R&B singles ever recorded, but he may be best remembered for popularizing a 1970s phrase with his biggest solo effort "Keep On Truckin' (Part 1)."
 
While we are the subject of "highway songs" how about Willie Nelson , "ON THE ROAD AGAIN" or Dave Dudley, "Six Days on the Road."
 
Wow - Bobby Bare. Shame on Me and Detroit City both come to mind. Also under a pseudonym (Bill Parsons) Bobby sang The All American Boy.
 
Hijacking!

I couldn't let the previous one pass without mentioning "Nashville Cats" from John Sebastian and The Lovin' Spoonful from '66!
 
You know they took their name from the song SPOONFUL originally by Howlin' Wolf, that Etta (James) & Harvey (Fuqua) covered well in 1961.
 
"At Last" by Etta James. I MUST play it (during the lunchtime music I dj) at the nursing home where I'm the Chaplain for a couple married in 1960.
