Well,I strictly go bby the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop-chart.

As most may know,Casey Kasum hosted a rdio show called American
Top 40 and those 40 songs came from the "forty" on that chart (#'s 40 to #1).

Some people feel,if you make the chart but not the top 40,it still counts as a "very mioner hit. To me,if you miss the top 40,it really is something most will forget,or have already forgotten.

I did have to erase "Save Your Kisses For Me" by Brotherhood Of Man from '76. Since they also had "United We Stand" in 1970. Different members but same name.

I'm sure ELP's "Lucky Man" was a big hit overseas but here in the states,it only made it to #48. "From the Beginning",however,slipped in at #39. No others made the top 40.

Freda Payne,again in the U.S. had 2 more hits after the #3 hit "Band Of Gold". (#1 in UK)

"Deeper And Deeper" #24 in 1970 (#33 UK) and "Bring The Boys Home" #12 in early 1971. (Didn't chart in UK.)

Then,strangely,nothing after that (both U.S. & overseas. Only making the Hot 100 3 more times.

P.S. - A late reply to Dave in Melbourne. I don;t know about other countries but Nesmith only had one solo hit here (With his "National band") "Joanne" hit #21 in 1970.

Charlene,as far as "Rainbow Connection" goes,in my top 40 book,the credit goes (As it should) to Jim Henson. He voice Kermit and also Ernie on "Rubber Duckie". While the labels said Kermit and also Ernie,in reality it's two hits for Jim Henson.

(My condolences to the Henson family for their recent loss by the way.)
