This week five of the top ten songs in the Billboard Hot 100 were by soul artists. Gladys Knight and the Pips, The Four Tops, Stylistics, Roberta Flack and War ( with the then #21 soul tune 'Cisco Kid') all celebrated top 10 hits. More interesting is the Soul Top 20. This is also the week Billboard predicted a "can't miss hit" called "So Very Hard To Go" by Tower of Power while Sylvia's sexy "Pillow Talk" was burning up the charts on its way #1.
