WLS Top 40 for Week of July 13, 1970-- Part 2: "Silver Bird"


(D) means debut.  The number after the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

35.  GOOD MORNING FREEDOM--  Daybreak    #94   Great song.  Makes me think of a TV theme song.  Never heard it before.  Canadian group.

34.  WESTBOUND #9--  Flaming Ember      #24     (D)  I always thought this was a black group.  Turns out they were white.  A lot of comments on the video said the same thing.   White soul-rock band from Detroit.

33.  LOVE ON A TWO WAY STREET--  Moments    #3    A great slow-dancing song.

32.  SILVER BIRD--  Mark Lindsay    #25    (D)     What?  No Raiders or Paul?   In Vietnam, servicemen thought of the big silver birds that would take them home after their enlistment expired.

31.  BOYS IN THE BAND--  Boys in the Band   #48     Southern Soul.  From the Warner Brothers movie "Phynx."  Never heard it before.  Full title:  "(How Bout A Little Hand For) The Boys In the Band."

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "And Lost It On A Lonely Highway."  Answer below.  --RoadDog


"Love On A Two Way Street"
