Aretha Franklin had her best year in the charts in 1968 and she appropriately is the only artist that has more than one song in the mix (and of course the pic is of her). The Title of the mix is also from lyrics in her song See Saw (track 13).
One song, track 10, hit the charts in the week ending 11/16/68, and two songs, tracks 15 & 26, in the week ending 11/30/68, all peaking in early 1969.
Songs that didn't make it into the mix were: Till and You are My Special Angel by the Vogues, Put Your Head on My Shoulder by the Lettermen, Little Green Apples by O.C. Smith, Help Yourself by Tom Jones, I Love How You Love Me by Bobby Vinton, The Straight Life by Bobby Goldsboro, Indian Reservation by Don Fardon, Over You by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Bang-Shang-A-Lang by the Archies, Hi-Heel Sneakers by Jose Feliciano, Sweet Blindness by the 5th Dimension, Alfie by Eivets Rednow, and Peace of Mind by Nancy Wilson. To access the mix, just click the link on the first song title.
