It's a shame that "The Look of Love" was excluded!

The reason why most of the songs mentioned here were not included on the artists' greatest hits collections is because they weren't HITS.

Man, I have a whole Hits 3 and 4 worked out. The Hits/B-Sides should've been a 5 disc box set.

Yes, it was #7 though I doubt anyone remember it as a 'hit'... smile
Chart position doesn't mean anything... "Thunder" was #28 in the UK in 1992... smile
