50 Love Song - Sara Bareilles | Hot 100 Peak: No. 4 (2008)
The singer from Eureka, Calif. made her chart debut with this song. Although it didn t reach No. 1 on the Hot 100, it topped the Adult Contemporary and Adult Pop Songs charts and was the No. 1 song of the year on the annual recaps of those two lists.
49 Baby Love - The Supremes | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (1964)
When this song reached the top of the Hot 100, the Supremes became the first Motown act to have two No. 1s. Just a few months earlier, they were known around Berry Gordy s company as the no-hit Supremes, but that changed when their previous single, Where Did Our Love Go, achieved pole position.
Aug. 18 marked a century since the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the right to vote in the U.S.
Marilyn McLeod, the League of Women Voters of Columbia-Boone County president, spoke to the Boone County Muleskinners on Friday â four months after the anniversary â about womenâs suffrage, the progress that has been made and what is still to come.
McLeod explained to the Muleskinners the controversy that is womenâs rights and why it took so long for women to gain the right to vote: âPeople have trouble with change.â
âHere were these women who wanted to vote, and not only was it a major change in their role in society, but it was also a . suggested possibility of a loss of power or a sharing of power,â McLeod said.
