  • Tony from Guerneville, CaThis song entered the Top 40 on KFRC in mid December, 1966 - I believe this was the earliest entry in the charts nationally no doubt because they were a local group (in the San Francisco area.)
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn February 11th 1967, the Mojo Men performed their covered version of "Sit Down, I Think I Love You"* on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'...
    At the time the song was at #80 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; just over four weeks later on March 12th it would peak at #36 {for 2 weeks} and it stayed on the chart for 11 weeks...
    The San Francisco-area quartet had two other Top 100 records, "Dance With Me" {#61 in 1965} and "Me About You" {#83 in 1967}...
    * On November 18th, 1967 The Executives' covered version of the song reached #20 on the Australian Kent Music Report chart.
  • Rick from Calgary, CanadaThe song actually charted at #36 on Billboards Hot 100.
