Notes:
- Although Bobby Sherman's "Early In The Morning" peaked at only #113 in 1973, it was a Hot 100 chart hit for both the Tokens and Gene Pitney in 1970 as "She Lets Her Hair Down (Early In The Morning)," the tune of which originated from a TV jingle for a shampoo. "She Lets Her Hair Down (Early In The Morning)" was also performed by Don Young in 1969, peaking at only #104.
- Bob Seger was born in Dearborn, MI and raised in Detroit. "Brand New Morning" was on the 1971 Bob Seger album "Brand New Morning" (Capitol ST-731), all selections of which were written and arranged entirely by Seger.
- The gospel-influenced "Delta Dawn" was a chart topper for Australian-born singer Helen Reddy in 1973 and was also country singer Tanya Tucker's Pop/Rock chart debut song in 1972.
- "Evening Gown" by the classically-influenced rock group, the Left Banke, was included on their 1967 album "Walk away Renee/Pretty Ballerina" (Smash MGS-27088). The Left Banke had the distinction of being singled out by the late conductor Leonard Bernstein as "the perfect example of what rock music could be."
- "Mamie In The Afternoon" as performed by Bobby Lewis (#110/1962) was from the Broadway musical "A Family Affair."
- The Monkee's psychedelic "Early Morning Blues And Greens," which features Davy Jones as lead vocalist, was on the 1967 album "The Monkees' Headquarters" (Colgems COS-103). "Early Morning Blues And Greens" is included on the CD Headquarters.
