Okay,to "Reminder",when I said Gord had not charted "top 40" since 1978,I was talking about the Pop/Hot 100.
To reiterate,his last Hot 100 hit as a recording act was "Baby Step Back" (#50 in May of '82).
Nothing from "Salute" or "EOM" made the Hot 100.
I do recall "Anything For Love" making the C & W chart (which I still feel is an odd place for it to have charted.)
Brink,thanks for the compliment. I've known these stats. for so long,I can pretty much do them from my mind. There's a thread here somewhere in which I quoted these same facts,most likely in 2003.
Ah,Rez...if you re-read my last message,I stated that only "other" recording artists had some luck with GL's songs on the chart. I also stated that I checked back as far as 1965,so "...Read my Mind" is his first solo chart hit here ever. He had none before on his own.
Later!
P.S.-I have a very good copy of Acker Bilk's "Stranger On The Shore" LP. I love that song.
(Andy Williams did a vocal version,I wonder what that's like?)
