13. Wow! Don't really remember THAT one!

Here's what I found about it:

Besides "A Whiter Shade of Pale", "Conquistador" was the band's highest charting single. It peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 29 July 1972, exactly five years to the date after "A Whiter Shade of Pale" ascended to its #5 peak, and helped catapult the album into the top five.

Interesting - thanks for helping me realize they were NOT a '1-hit wonder!'
