Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

WLS Top 30 for Week of September 14, 1970-- Part 3: 'Indiana Wants Me'

 * Means dropping on charts at this point.

20.  SNOWBIRD--  Anne Murray    #8    A great song that I haven't heard in a long while.  Evidently at one time she and her song were featured on Fox's sitcom "Family Guy" when Stewie and the dog had a crush on her.  This makes three Canadian performers or groups in the Top 30 in Chicago.  Was this the Canadian Invasion?  Her first hit.

19.  *HI-DE-HO--  Blood, Sweat & Tears    #14   Great horns and that David Clayton Thomas voice.  Was he from Canada?  Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin

18.  *SPILL THE WINE--  Eric  Burdon     #3    This song went a long way toward launching the career of the band War.   Born in 1941.

17.  *I JUST CAN'T HELP BELIEVING--  B.J. Thomas    #9    You know, that guy with the craggy voice.  In case you're wondering, the B.J. in his name stands for Billy Joe.

16.  INDIANA WANTS ME--  R. Dean Taylor   #5  It is an absolute guarantee that when I'm on the road and see a Welcome to Indiana sign that I will be singing this song.  Just ask my wife.  (Though she's not a fan.)  Wait a minute, he was born in Toronto.  I'm telling you, it's a Canadian Invasion!!

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Gonna Find Me A Piece Of The Sky."  Answer below.  --RoadDog
