| 1973 - The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia - Vicki Lawrence
| wiki wrote: |
The song was a number-one hit for Lawrence, then a regular on The Carol Burnett Show, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and also reached the top forty of Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart. "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" was first offered to Cher, but her then-husband and manager Sonny Bono reportedly turned it down (he was said to be concerned that the song might offend Cher's southern fans). |

| After noticing a lot of "Toma's Timeless Tunes," I wondered what #1 was...
1970 - No Matter What - Badfinger
Does it deserve to be #1 (on any list)?

Ah, deja vu all over again! Did you know that Paul is now embarrassed of this song?

| 1971 - Wild World - Cat Stevens

Denial of entry into the United States
On 21 September 2004, Yusuf Islam was traveling on a United Airlines flight from London to Washington, en route to a meeting with singer Dolly Parton, who had recorded "Peace Train" several years earlier and was planning to include another Cat Stevens song on an upcoming album. While the plane was in flight, the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System flagged his name as being on a no-fly list. Customs agents alerted the Transportation Security Administration, which then diverted his flight to Bangor, Maine, where he was detained by the FBI.[26]
The following day, Yusuf Islam was deported back to the United Kingdom. The United States Transportation Security Administration claimed there were "concerns of ties he may have to potential terrorist-related activities." [27] The United States Department of Homeland Security specifically alleged[citation needed] that Yusuf Islam had provided funding to the Palestinian Islamic militant group Hamas.
The deportation provoked a small international controversy and led British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw to complain personally to Secretary of State Colin Powell at the United Nations.[28] Powell responded by stating that the watch list was under review, and added, "I think we have that obligation to review these matters to see if we are right."[29]
Yusuf Islam believes his inclusion on the watch list may have simply been an error, a mistaken identification of him for a man with the same name, but different spelling. On 1 October 2004 Yusuf Islam requested the removal of his name, "I remain bewildered by the decision of the US authorities to refuse me entry to the United States."[30] According to a statement by Yusuf Islam, the man on the list was named "Youssef Islam", indicating that Yusuf Islam himself was not the suspected terrorism supporter.[15]
Two years later, in December 2006, Yusuf Islam was admitted without incident into the United States for several radio concert performances and interviews to promote his new record. |
