WLS Top 30 for Week of September 14, 1970-- Part 2: "Hand Me Down World"

The number behind the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard Hot 100.  * Means the song was on its way down.   

25.  HAND ME DOWN WORLD--  Guess Who     #17     From Canada.  Formed in Winnipeg in 1963.

24.  THAT'S WHERE I WENT WRONG--  Poppy Family     #29    Another Canadian band.  Were we having the Canadian Invasion back in 1970?  I'd forgotten this one, but it sure is a great song.  Too bad it was so overshadowed by their first song which went to #2 earlier in the year.  And that would be "Which Way You Going, Bo;;y."

23.  SIGNED, SEALED DELIVERED, I'M YOURS--  Stevie Wonder    #3   That great Motown Sound.  How does it get any better.

22.  SOLITARY MAN--  Neil Diamond.     #21     My absolute all-time favorite Neil song. (With "Cherry, Cherry" next.)  This was the second time this song charted.  It was his very first charting song back in 1966 and went to #55.

21.  MAKE IT WITH YOU--  Bread      #1     I wonder how many times this song has been played at weddings?  Did they have deejays playing weddings back in 1970?

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Melinda Was Mine 'Till The Time That I Found Her Holding Jim."  Answer below.  --RoadDog
