This track as far as I know was by 'Hotlegs' who evolved into 10CC later in their careers brilliant site thanks for all your hard work Pete W

Ah, we understand the question. As it explains in the FAQs we sometimes use a "better known" version of a group's name to make it easy for readers to identify linked songs, for example we use the name "Prince" to label songs that were originally credited to a range of names.

The fact that "Neanderthal Man" was credited to Hotlegs is pointed out on the 10cc page.

Error/Melanie

The song "Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)" (#62 - 1970) should be listed as Melanie with The Edwin Hawkins Singers

First you need to read the FAQ "Why are the names of songs and artists changed in these list?". Secondly all collaborations are listed as "XXX & YYY", not "XXX with YYY" or "XXX v YYY", or "XXX featuring YYY", life is too short to sort out all the potential variations.

Finally according to Billboard the assigned artist in the US was just "Melanie", the US had the biggest market for this song so the name assigned there is the one we would tend to favour.

So, thanks for the suggestion, but the current artist name stays

GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS

Isn't in the list of 70's ??

This is the list of songs from 1970, the most successful song they had that year was "If I Were Your Woman" which was well outside the top 100 for the year.

Two Little Boys

OK, so what about this one?

Unfortunately the Rolf Harris song "Two Little Boys" (1969) was not a hit in the USA (we have entries listed as "UK 1 - Nov 1969 (25 weeks), Eire 1 for 6 weeks - Dec 1969, Australia Goset 8 - Jan 1970 (22 weeks), Springbok 16 - Feb 1970 (3 weeks), Australia 24 of 1970, TOTP 32, UKMIX 74, RYM 124 of 1969")

So not enough to make the world's top 100 (in 1969 or 1970).

Rolf's biggest hit (beating "Two Little Boys" by a narrow margin) was "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" (1963) - Australia 1 for 3 weeks - Jun 1960, Australia 2 of 1960, US Billboard 3 - Jun 1963 (11 weeks), NZ Lever 4 - Aug 1963 (3 weeks), UK 9 - Jul 1960 (13 weeks), RYM 19 of 1960, Canada 20 - Jul 1963 (4 weeks), US Radio 53 of 1963 (peak 3 7 weeks), WABC NY 80 of 1963

Even that didn't make the top 100 for its year

find a 1968 or early 1969 song

Song is by a mans name & his __------------------ about a woman with multiple voice of base, tennor high pitch a little.

Thank you from a Coma survivor. I must find this song to sing in Karaoke. I can not work, but I can sing and dance at age 61

Joseph Sablic

The "woman with multiple voice" doesn't jog any memories

The most popular artist from that era that matches would be Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra.

Other potential matches would be:

Paul Mauriat & His Orchestra - "Love Is Blue (L'Amour Est Bleu)" (1968)

Paul Mauriat & His Orchestra - "Blooming Hits" (1968)

Paul Revere & the Raiders - "Cinderella Sunshine" (1968)

Paul Revere & the Raiders - "Too Much Talk" (1968)

Paul Revere & the Raiders - "Don't Take It So Hard" (1968)

Pete Drake & his Talking Steel Guitar - "Forever" (1964)

Cab Calloway & His Cotton Club Orchestra - "History Repearts Itself" (1966)

Hope some of that helps
