As if to usher in the singer-songwriter era, it seems only fitting that Simon and Garfunkel should top this chart. That The Guess Who are at #3 with "American Woman"is surprising. A superb heavy track, that it was the third best-selling record of the year shows how far heavy rock had made it into commerciality
Similarly, "Spill The Wine", another fine song, making the top 20 is not one you'd think would be so high, whereas I thought "Fire & Rain" would have been a top seller.
As ever, Motown's presence is striking. The amount of best-selling singles the label had is extraordinary.
