2. Timi Yuro - It'l never be over for me

3. Williams & Watson - Too late

4. Jackie Moore - Both ends against the middle

5. Kurt Harris -Emperor of my baby's heart

6. The Montclairs - Hung up on your love

7. Ann Sexton- Youv'e been gone too long

8. Demures - Raining Teardrops

9. Carol & Gerri - How can I ever find a way

10. The Belles - Don't pretend

As I say that list changes every time I try and compile it but the top three always stays the same!
