well, here's the ones that cory actually sang lead on.....
you probably know a couple of them:
 
Among hits Wells sang lead on:
"Eli's Coming" (No. 10, 1969)
"Mama Told Me Not to Come" (No. 1, 1970)
"Shambala" (No. 3, 1973)
 
 
others:
"Try a Little Tenderness"
"Never Been to Spain"
"Let Me Serenade You"
"Sure As I'm Sittin' Here"
"Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)"

this guy had a lot to do with my own personal vocal style,
nobody would ever pick up on that...
but i listened to this guy sing a lot.
 

That band was a big part of my early musical influences. Not to mention it was one of the few that mom and dad didn't object to.

I recall seeing them on one of the late night talk shows. I think it was Joey Bishop's show. Anyway, they sang Eli's Coming live on the show and really nailed it.
 
Fond memory! 
 
I looked all over YouTube for the TV version and couldn't find it. {sob} So? Enjoy the original music video.
 

Hi,
 
Did you count how many of these came from HAIR?
