For the decade of the 1960's they list for #10. Desmond Dekker & The Aces: "Israelites" (1969)

It was on during the summer when they landed on the moon.

This is a long forgotten song. I was surprised. I haven't heard it in years. I would hear it in the 70s. Once in a blue moon on oldies stations in the 80s, but I haven't heard it since. Kinda cool to find out about the singer etc.
