WLS Top 30 for Week of September 14, 1970-- Part 1: "I'll Be There"

From the Oldies Loon site.

The  number behind the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard National Hot 100.  An * means the song was dropping on the survey.

HBD (Hitbound)  I'LL BE THERE--  Jackson Five     #1   A slow one by this unbelievably hot group.  A good song for weddings.  The last of four straight #1s out of the gate, followed by two #2s.  Not a bad start at all.

30.  WE CAN MAKE MUSIC--  Tommy Roe     #49   Another Julie song.  I don't remember it.  Bubble Gum music.  I have always been a big fan of Bubble Gum music.

29.  ALL RIGHT NOW--  Free     #4    One of my all-time favorite songs.  This one grabs you right away.  Those first few notes.  Wow!

28.  PEACE WILL COME (ACCORDING TO PLAN)--  Melanie   #32    Follow up to "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)"  Born Melanie Safka in 1947 in Queens, New York.t.  A real One-Hit Wonder.  

27.  DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO--  Five Flights Up    #37   #10 on WCFL.  Never heard it before.  Soul group.  Real one-hit wonder group.

26.  *CLOSE TO YOU--  Carpenters    #1   How many times has this been played at weddings?

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Took Her Home To My Place, Watching Every Move On Her Face."  Answer below.  --RoadDog
