Thanks much for this. Have to mention CCR DID get a #1 hit; albeit on Cash Box when Lookin' Out My Back Door hit #1 in October 1970. The article also made me think of the Partridge Family/David Cassidy, who had four Top 10 hits inside two years including two Cash Box #1s. And whenever I read about Lesley Gore I must remind everyone she belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As does Connie Francis at this point; both should have received the honor while still with us.
Yes, YES, and Hell YES on Leslie Gore and Connie Francis belonging in the RoR HoF! I'd add Chic to that list. Had I counted David Cassidy & The Partridge Family as one artist, they'd have had 4 songs spend 23 weeks in the Top 10 over a 57 week time span, which lands them between The Lovin' Spoonful (#16) and Amy Grant (#15).
