Also debuting at #98 is a pop-rock quintet from Dallas named Rose Colored Glass. "Can't Find The Time" would peak at #54. Not bad. Sounds a bit like "Too Late to Turn Back Now" by Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose. Agree. Vaguely recall hearing this song on some station I could only pick up at night back in '71, maybe KOMA? Not to be with the similarly-titled song from a similarly-named group, "I Ain't Got Time Anymore", by The Glass Bottle, which would debut on the Hot 100 three months later and would reach #36 in September.

Hi, everyone! I'm sorry I wasn't able to get last week's BOTC up on time, because my computer decided to not let me get on here. Turns out our modem no longer worked because one of the parts inside broke loose. Now that I have a brand-new modem, I can make up for last week.

jmorgan, the Bob Welch song in the anchor position on the 5/19/1979 Hot 100 was "Precious Love", not "Sentimental Lady".

Interesting that the #100 songs on both charts were former #1 songs.
