Given the fact that an appearance on TOTP usually guaranteed good sales you would have expected both of these records to have done much better especially the "duet".

In response to complaints that I'm Gonna Make You Love Me had been ignored [[reached #3) by TOTP in 1969 they played No Matter What Sign You Are and it was another one which didn't really benefit from the exposure.

Strange.
I think the main reason why You gotta have love in your heart did not go higher in the charts is because it quite simply was a bang average song.
Many people thought the same about Bad Weather and He's my man.
