Paul Young's Love Of The Common People peaked at #45 on the June 30 1984 Hot 100. Waylon Jennings had a #67 country hit with the song in October 1967. It was written by John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins and has been recorded by more than 70 artists including Pat Boone, John Denver, Henson Cargill, Lynn Anderson, Wayne Newton, Sandy Posey, Melba Montgomery, the Winstons, Jim Ed Brown, the Everly Brothers and the Brothers Four.

The Four Preps were the first to record the song, on November 23, 1966. The arranger and orchestra conductor was Leon Russell. This was released as a single in January 1967 but failed to chart.

 
25 for 1984. Those movie soundtracks always add a few.
