based on the requests, I'm predicting a General Johnson twin-spin of sorts.

BOS James Gang!

this one is #49 and I know there's a Funk 48... so there must have been 47 others before they got it right.

I'd hate to hear #s 1-47  ;)

Proxy of GazWOS, Canned Heat. Even I prefer the Wilbert Harrison version of this one, now now people.

Sort of an election theme today? Ball of Confusion and American Woman>womens' rights clip certainly seem to fit.

BOS Melanie, Candles in the Rain.

That's my take on it. 1970 was also a midterm election.

Tomorrow: Giants victory set?

This was the first time I've heard the original "Lay Down (Candles in the Wind)," but I'm familiary with it because Hits 106 played a remake by Meredith Brooks, of all people.  I don't think her version went anywhere on any chart.

The Meredith Brooks/Queen Latifah version came out in late 1999, and also received a couple of plays on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, Hot AC version. It also spent four weeks at #1 on somebody's personal chart, but nationally I don't believe it charted anywhere.

EDIT: None of the singles from "Deconstruction" charted, but the album did manage to peak at #12.
