{1}"Show & Tell" reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week beginning January 19 1974 and #10 on the U.S. Also, it was named a Cashbox Magazine Number One Single of the Year.
{2}Al Wilson's definitive rendition is surprisingly not the original. Jerry Fuller gave Johnny Mathis the first crack in 1973 but Columbia Records sale reps snatched it off the market less than a month after its release. Other covers include: Ken Boothe; Peabo Bryson; David Cassidy; Khani Cole; Will Easley; Elusion; Carolyn Fire; Engelbert Humperdinck; Glenn Jones; Don Julian; Johnny Mathis; Santo & Johnny; Vanessa Williams; et al.
