As with people, these songs -- the 11 Top 40 hits of the '50s, '60s, and '70s which thanked someone in their titles -- say "thank you" in various ways: they can be heartfelt, sappy, ironic, or sardonic. But while some got their chart mojo from their gratitude, others relied less on what they were saying than how they were saying it. Rock and roll, in other words. See if your favorite song of thanks made it to the list!

THIS was just an album cut, not a single, but it’s still among my favorite “Thank You” songs.
