"The Race Is On" (Jack Jones) #15 4/17/1965

Pop music throughout the years has seen many whitebread remakes of R&B and country hits - Pat Boone made a career of it - but this one is right up there as far as removing all emotion from the song. George Jones in 1965 (the original version) and Sawyer Brown in the 80's both reached the Top 5 on the country charts with this one. MOR (middle-of-the-road) got in on the "fun" with Jack Jones.
