WLS Top 30 for Week of October 12, 1970-- Part 4: "It Don't Matter to Me"

15.  ^ IT DON'T MATTER TO ME--  Bread    #10   These guys could really make a great slow song.  But if you listen to their "On the Waters" album, they could also do that uptempo stuff.  Follow up to "Make It With You."

14.  I KNOW (I'M LOSING YOU)--  Rare Earth  You've just got to love how the song started.  But that long version is way too much.  Short version better.  Much better.

13.  ^ JOANNE--  Michael Nesmith  What?  No more Monkees?  A great country song.

12.  ^ LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO MY SONG, MA--  New Seekers   #14   Covering a Melanie song.  British-Australian group formed after the breakup of the Seekers.  Hence the new name.

11.  DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO--  Five Flights Up    #37     I don't remember ever hearing this one which is too bad.  This was one great slow Soul song.  It did well in Chicago with it going to #9 on WCFL and #6 on WLS.  Make sure you play the flip side of this on You Tube  "Black Cat."  One of the best Soul songs I've ever heard.  I'm really surprised this group did not do better.  I can just about hear Herb Kent (The Kool Gent) playing this song right now.
