28. *ONLY YOU KNOW AND I KNOW-- Delaney & Bonnie #20 Written by Dave Mason. Follow up to "Never Ending Song of Love."
27. WEDDING SONG-- Paul Stookey #24 I wonder how many weddings this song has been played at? Where are Peter and Mary?
26. *SHAFT-- Isaac Hayes #1 "Theme from Shaft" One tough song in all aspects: from music to singing. Makes you feel invincible after hearing it. His biggest hit. Follow up to "Never Can Say Goodbye."
