Poppy Family – Which Way You Goin' Billy?

"Which Way You Goin' Billy?" was a huge international hit for The Poppy Family in 1969 and 1970, racking up enough sales and plays to rank 38th all-time on RPM's Canadian Content Chart (1964-96). The song won a Juno award in 1970 for Best Produced Single.

"Which Way You Goin' Billy" ranked 19th in the Mart*Star's Canada 125 poll and 54th in Huntington Post's 2014 list of greatest Canadian songs. For some reason, I associate it with playing volleyball at Camp Aush-Bik-Koong, when I was only 15 and working as a dishwasher at youth camp.
