Notes

1.^ "Green Grass" was quickly withdrawn at the request of the song's publisher to make way for Gary Lewis' recording.[22][23] The single was reissued with the same catalog number (Columbia 4-43624), but with "The Right One" replacing the song in question.

2.^ Members of the Western Writers of America chose 1974's "Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott" as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.[24]
