Wow Craig, your 2nd clue was no help for me, then you mention "calypso is close" --and Belafonte was the first person I thought of yesterday, but could not find any song that charted low that matched the melody, and his stats were almost the same: one top ten (Day-o aka Banana Boat Song) but 7 USA top ten, not 8, and no peak at #66 on the chart I'm looking at, but 7 is so close and Belafonte is so Calypso that I feel the need to go examine closer his singles that charted low in the hopes that you were quoting different charts than I was looking at.

Once I've eliminated Harry Belafonte, though, I'm back at square zero...ugh...
