Great songs (most of 'em), no doubt about that...but only a handful charted here! What were we buying?
1. Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tennille 5, well-polished and a helluva catchy number...about their best...
2. When Will I Be Loved - Linda Ronstadt 3, if you've been reading these threads long enough you know my thoughts on Linda's 're-treads'...however, this wasn't half bad, but once again, not a patch on the Everlys' original...
3. Fallin' In Love - Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds 4, nice inoffensive song...'Don't Pull Your Love' was better...
4. Bad Blood - Neil Sedaka 3, okay...but not as good as some of his stuff from his 'comeback' period...(see #1, which he co-wrote...)
5. Sky High - Jigsaw 5, superb piece of 'orchestral' pop from a group who'd been making records since 1968...
6. Get Down Tonight - KC & The Sunshine Band 4, marvellous sound and infectiously catchy...
7. Fire - Ohio Players 3, competent slice of pop-funk, if a bit repetetive...
8. At Seventeen - Janis Ian 5, with no hesitation, tremendous! Fantastic song which she had no end of trouble following-up...
9. Feelings - Morris Albert 3, which broke most records for schmaltz...heard almost everywhere you went...bearable, if sugary...
10. Best Of My Love - Eagles 5, well lebeiw, it's not the Emotions' song, but it's an absolute killer of a song despite that! Great performance...
11. Nights On Broadway - Bee Gees 4, a fine song which was covered extremely well here by Candi Staton (her version being more familiar to British ears...)
12. Miracles - Jefferson Airplane 4, one helluva transition from psych heroes to this, but this is a super tune...
13. Have You Never Been Mellow - Olivia Newton-John 4, ...as is this, fine and, er..mellow...!
14. Chevy Van - Sammy Johns 4, catchy piece of soft-rock...
15. You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker 2, impassioned but needlessly over-the-top...
16. Fame - David Bowie 2, somewhat lacking a killer blow, trucks along okay...
17. My Eyes Adored You - Frankie Valli 4, good big ballad, well performed by 'that' voice...
18. Shining Star - Earth, Wind & Fire 3, inoffensive piece of stuff...good in its own way, but they've done better...
19. Rhinestone Cowboy - Glen Campbell 4, super-commercial piece of country, which I attacked in a karaoke session many moons ago...Mr Campbell needn't worry...!
20. I'm Not In Love - 10cc 5, probably heard one too many times for my liking, but no doubting the groundbreaking production, which was about half a decade before its time...awesome...

No no, lebeiw! This is an entirely different song than that by The Emotions. It's a rather slow song for The Eagles, and IMO not their best, but believe it or not it made it to #1 on the charts! If you have The Eagles Greatest Hits then you should have the song. I forget, but I think it's on the first volume. :)

Ohhh! I just popped in the CD and gave a listen--of course I know this one. I just didn't recognize it by title at first, probably because I was thinking of the Emotions.
You know, who knows how many songs that we don't recognize just by the titles, but have actually heard! :o :)
I give this one a 3... I like the Eagles' more upbeat stuff, or at least songs that aren't as slow as this. :-/
