Here are more 1976 Easy Listening #1 hits. I split these in half because I don’t want to type 40 titles and find links. Also, I suspect that you won’t listen to 40 tracks.
These are chronological, based on when they reached #1 from May through December, all for a single week.
Tryin’ To Get The Feeling Again – Barry Manilow
Don’t Pull Your Love/Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye – Glen Campbell
*Silly Love Songs – Wings; also #1 for five weeks pop
Shop Around – The Captain & Tennille; yes, the old Miracles hit written by Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson
Save Your Kisses for Me – Brotherhood of Man

Movie song
I’m Easy – Keith Carridine; written by Carridine. Some time this century, I attempted to watch the acclaimed movie Nashville, directed and produced by Robert Altman, on television, from which this song was the hit. I could not. This is why I generally see films at the cinema.
You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine – Lou Rawls; written and produced by Gamble and Huff. I LOVE this golden voice.
Let ‘Em In – Wings; written by Paul and Linda. “
I’d Really Like To See You Tonight– England Dan and John Ford Coley. Dan Seals was the younger brother of Jim Seals of Seals and Crofts.
