#1 at KRUX/Phoenix: “Do You Know What I Mean” by Lee Michaels for a second week.
Holding at #2 is former #1 “Maggie May,” the first big solo hit by Rod Stewart. Two other bona fide future classics are on this week’s list: “Won’t Get Fooled Again” (#8) by the Who and John Lennon’s “Imagine” (debuting at #27).
Climbing to #3 is Joan Baez’s version of the Band’s “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” Falling to #4 are the Carpenters with “Superstar,” written by Leon Russell (with Bonnie Bramlett).
Paul & Linda McCartney’s quirky “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey,” a former #1, slides down to #22.
Other notables include:
- the Guess Who’s catchy “Rain Dance” (#9);
- Bill Withers’ first hit, “Ain’t No Sunshine” (#16);
- “The Story In Your Eyes” (#20), one of the Moody Blues’ most rockin’est;
- the debut single for Yes, “Your Move” (new at #25) – the first segment of the “I’ve Seen All Good People” album track;
- “If You Really Love Me” by Stevie Wonder (jumping from #21 to #12);
- Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” (#25), the second of three socially conscious hits from his milestone What’s Goin’ On album;
- Olivia Newton-John’s rendition of “If Not For You” (#29), based on George Harrison’s version of the Bob Dylan song.
