Jerry Wallace--If You Leave Me Tonight I'll Cry


Steve and Eydie’s “We Can Make it Together” was just a number 68 Billboard hit (though it got to number seven on the Easy Listening chart) but will get to number 26 here. “If You Leave Me Tonight I’ll Cry” by Jerry Wallace will get up to number 24 rather than its national peak of 38, and Bobby Vinton’s remake of “Sealed With a Kiss” will make it to ten rather than 19. Bill Withers’ “Use Me,” number two for two weeks in Billboard, will stall at number seven. That leaves the O’Jays’ “Backstabbers,” which will exactly equal its number three national peak.
