Since this post,Billboard released the 1998 edition of #1 hits and the "2000" edition of the Top 40 hits,which of course goes right up to the very beginning of '00. Unfortunatly,Gordon has not charted in the 40 in 25 years and has not made the hot 100 in 21 years this past March. He made the C& W chart in '86 with "Anything for Love" and the closest thing to a hit he's had lately was in '98,when the one time female trio Stars on 54 did a disco cover version of,"If You Could Read My Mind" and actually got up to #52 on the charts! It was from the movie "54" which was about Studio 54's rise and fall. That song even topped about six other GL singles, like,If I Could/That Same Old Obsession/You Are What I Am/Summer Side Of Life/Talking In Your Sleep/Race Among The Ruins and Beautiful. I still have the casstte single and I wont part with it because it gives GL credit as the writer of th song. Well,times up! It's been the B! Catch ya on the flipside of Sundown!
