* Means dropping on charts at this point.
20. SNOWBIRD-- Anne Murray #8 A great song that I haven't heard in a long while. Evidently at one time she and her song were featured on Fox's sitcom "Family Guy" when Stewie and the dog had a crush on her. This makes three Canadian performers or groups in the Top 30 in Chicago. Was this the Canadian Invasion? Her first hit.
19. *HI-DE-HO-- Blood, Sweat & Tears #14 Great horns and that David Clayton Thomas voice. Was he from Canada? Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin
18. *SPILL THE WINE-- Eric Burdon #3 This song went a long way toward launching the career of the band War. Born in 1941.
17. *I JUST CAN'T HELP BELIEVING-- B.J. Thomas #9 You know, that guy with the craggy voice. In case you're wondering, the B.J. in his name stands for Billy Joe.
16. INDIANA WANTS ME-- R. Dean Taylor #5 It is an absolute guarantee that when I'm on the road and see a Welcome to Indiana sign that I will be singing this song. Just ask my wife. (Though she's not a fan.) Wait a minute, he was born in Toronto. I'm telling you, it's a Canadian Invasion!!
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "Gonna Find Me A Piece Of The Sky." Answer below. --RoadDog
