15.  *IF NOT FOR YOU--  Olivia Newton-John     #25     Bob Dylan wrote it.  I don't now who I had a bigger crush on back then, Linda or Olivia.   Her first hit.

14.  *DON'T PULL YOUR LOVE--  Hamilton, Joe Frank, & Reynolds      #4       Why did Frank have a first name and the other two didn't?   Dan Hamilton and Tommy Hamilton in case you're wondering.

13.  I'LL MEET YOU HALF WAY--  Partridge Family     #9     Co-written by Carole's hubby, Gerry Goffin.  Well, then there was also that Susan Dey.  Wow!  Their last Top Ten.

12.  *DON'T KNOCK MY LOVE--  Wilson Pickett       #13     Mr. Wicked Pickett shows off his Soul.   Went to #1 R&B.

11.  NATHAN JONES--  Supremes       #16    Definitely a different Motown sound on this one.
