1973 In Music - January's Almost Made the Charts.

So, with my ongoing series of posts on music from 50 years go, and what we were listening to, I've thought alot about adding a list of great songs that made the Hop 100, but didn't make the Top 40.  As I've started a new year (and a new spreadsheet) I figured I'd give it a shot.

SO, for January 1973, I looked at songs that dropped off the charts during the month, but never made the Top 40.  And for the month, I counted 22.  Here they are, with peak position noted:

• No - Buldog - 44
• Trouble In My Home - Joe Simon - 50
• In Heaven There Is No Beer - Clean Living - 51
• Let Us Love - Bill Withers - 47
• You're A Lady - Peter Skellern - 50
• I Got A Bag Of My Own - James Brown - 59
• We Need Order - The Chi-lites - 61
• Everybody Loves A Love Song - Mac Davis - 63
• Angel - Rod Stewart - 65
• 992 Arguments - The O'Jays - 68
• I Didn't Know I Loved You (Till I Saw You Rock And Roll) - Gary Glitter - 71
• You're A Lady - Dawn Featuring Tony Orlando - 70
• Anthem - Wayne Newton - 65
• Mama Weer All Crazee Now - Slade - 76
• One Last Time - Glen Campbell - 78
• You Can Do Magic - Limmie and Family Cookin' - 84
• Jesus Was A Capricorn - Kris Kristofferson - 91
• Knock Knock Who's There - Mary Hopkin - 92
• I'm Sorry - Joey Heatherton - 87
• Choo Choo Mama - Ten Years After - 89
• The Red Back Spider - Brownsville Station - 96
• She's Got To Be A Saint - Ray Price - 93

I have playlists of great songs that made the Hot 100, but not the Top 40.  But for this month?  Not so much.  There's a couple I remember, but none I own.  I'll keep this up for a few months, see how it works out!
