1973
The state of Georgia cropped up in the titles of two No. 1 records in 1973: The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia by Vicki Lawrence and Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight and the Pips.The latter song originally referred to a different locale.Jim Weatherly wrote and recorded it as Midnight Train to Houston. Then Cissy Houston (Whitney's mother) cut it, and the destination was altered for the obvious reason. Knight and the Pips retained the change.

Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle, from his previous Lp, was released as a single after it was featured in the Tv movie She lives!, and it too topped the charts.
