It Happened 50 Years Ago: The Music Explosion “Little Bit O’ Soul”

Mansfield, Ohio-based band The Music Explosion made just two appearances on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, with just one of those songs — their first charting single, “Little Bit O’ Soul” — reaching the Top 40. Not only did “Little Bit O’ Soul” reach the Top 40; it nearly made it to the top. Exactly 50 years ago, The Music Explosion’s biggest hit climbed to a peak position of number 2, where it would spend two weeks.
