Subject: Instrumental Songs - #1 on charts

Written By: midnite on 04/07/08 at 10:51 pm

I just read that Love Unlimited Orchestra's "Love's Theme" was one of two instrumental songs to make it to #1 in the US.  I believe the other song is Vangelis' "Chariots Of Fire."

Are there any other good Instrumental songs out there that have or could have charted high on the MAINSTREAM charts?

1975 | The Homecoming - Hagood Hardy
1979 | Peter Piper - Frank Mills

"Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione was a hit.  I also think "Breezin" by George Benson may have been a hit.
