"Detroit City" (Tom Jones) #27 4/22/1967

Before and after World War II, a lot of rural folks moved up north in search of jobs and a better living for their families. Many of them really wanted to go home, but couldn't. This song certainly summed up their angst and was a hit for Bobby Bare in 1963. Tom Jones remade it, just as his previous record was a cover of a hit country song.
