October 26th, 1970


"We've Only Just Begun" replaces "Indiana Wants Me" at #1 this week (up from #4 the week before) and The Partridge Family make another impressive leap to land at #4 this week (from #15 the week before, a move of 11 places.)

The big mover of the week is Canned Heat's "Let's Work Together," which jumps 16 places to land at #19 (from #36 the week before) ... but Christie's "Yellow River" and "Still Water (Love)" by The Four Tops both climb over ten places this week as well.


All three of last week's Hit Bound tracks make the Top 40 this week, leaving room for only one new premier ... and it belongs to Joe Cocker for his remake of the old '50's torch song crooner "Cry Me A River" done up NOTHING like the style we all became used to way back when!
