One of my favorite late 1975 tunes makes a nice leap within the top 10. Pete's top 100 of 1976 thread re-inspired my thought on that very song, which is a shame that it didn't make either the 1975 or 1976 top 100. Glad it did on vince's recalculated year-ends. |

CHART DATE: November 22 If FT20 had a "bullet" or "star" policy, the song at #5 would earn one for sure. But one thing it won't do is turn up at #18. That's been done!
