1. The Loco-Motion - Grand Funk Railroad
2. The Streak - Ray Stevens
3. Dancing Machine - Jackson 5
4. The Entertainer - Marvin Hamlisch

8. TSOP (The Sound Of Philadelphia) - MFSB
9. (I've Been) Searchin' So Long - Chicago
10. Midnight At The Oasis - Maria Muldaur

 Not bad, but not exactly stunning.  As with yesterday, here's 5 of my favorites from deaper in the charts:

• Another Park, Another Sunday - Doobie Brothers (#61) [aside:  The Doobies were probably my favorite band in this time period, clear up until Michael MacDonald joined.  I saw them in 1976]
• La Grange - ZZ Top (#68)  [not that I had a clue what it was about when I was not quite 14]
• If You Wanna Get To Heaven - Ozark Mountain Daredevils (#75)  [I bought this album just for this song, without realizing just how atypical it was.  But that's good, it's a great song from a great band!]
• Rikki (Don't Lose That Number) - Steely Dan (#84)
• Radar Love - Golden Earring (#99)
