That's exactly what I thought as I went down the list... yep.. yep... yep... how did that get in there?

I think instead of "What's Going On" they should have included either Del Shannon's "Runaway" or perhaps The Four Seasons' "Big Girls Don't Cry." How about "The Sounds of Silence"
I think WGO may have been a somewhat "insincere" inclusion...
