WLS Top 30 for Week of August 10, 1970-- Part 4: "Big Yellow Taxi"

*  Means dropping on the chart.

15.  *THE LOVE YOU SAVE--  Jackson Five    #1     That was quite a string of hits they had when they first burst on the music scene.  From late 1969 to the spring of 1971 they had four straight #1s and then two straight #2s.  Not bad for a start.

14.  HAND ME DOWN WORLD--  Guess Who    #17    Burton Cummings and gang.  First hit after  Randy Bachman left the band.

13.  WAR--  Edwin Starr     #1    As in Vietnam.  Well, it's 1-2-3 What Are We Fighting For?"  His biggest hit.

12.  BIG YELLOW TAXI--  The Neighborhood     #29   Great take on the Joni Mitchell song.  One comment said they were from Chicago, but I am unable to find anything about them because of another band called Neighbourhood.

11.  *BAND OF GOLD--  Freda Payne    #3    It was #1 in UK for six weeks.  One comment said:  ""Got out of Navy in the summer of 1970.  Every dive bar in San Diego was playing this song."

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Anybody Here See The Noise, See The Fear And Commotion."  Kind of appropriate to today, isn't it?   Answer below.   --RoadDog
