Any solo single by Dolly Parton. Amazingly she has only ever had one top ten single in the UK.

There’s a track called How Does It Feel by the Wolverhampton legends, SLADE.

Fantastic track, give it a whirl, can’t believe it didn’t even go top 10

That’s shocking! “Here you come again” is a much better song in my opinion.

"I Surrender by Rainbow reached number 3. "

And as regards their music , I surrender, would , in my eyes be a poor relation to All Night Long or Since you've been gone .
