- 'Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)' by Frank Wilson. This is the only single Wilson recorded, and just 250 copies were made, most of which were destroyed. A decade later a copy surfaced and the enthusiastic reaction encouraged Motown to rerelease the song.
- 'Out on the Floor' by Dobie Gray. This wasn't Gray's biggest U.S. hit—that was 1973's "Drift Away"—but in Britain it became a Northern Soul standard. The versatile Texan performed soul, pop, and even musical theater in a production of "Hair" before tilting toward country.
- 'You Didn't Say a Word' by Yvonne Baker. Baker's tune became known as "the James Bond song" because its melody resembles the 007 theme. Earlier she had performed with the Sensations, a group that attracted attention because it was one of the first to include a female lead vocalist and male background singers.
- 'The Snake' by Al Wilson. Wilson got his break when early pop icon Johnny Rivers signed him to his new label, Soul City Records. Wilson’s first single was a hit in 1968, and five years later his “Show and Tell” reached No. 1 on Billboard.
