The band had 21 Billboard Top 40 hits between 1969 and 1975, with three hitting number one.

Alison Krauss - Down To The River To Pray
SIGOPSDown to the River to Pray is a traditional American Christian folk hymn, originally known as "The Good Old Way," with roots tracing back to the mid-19th century as a Negro Spiritual. The earliest known version was published in Slave Songs of the United States in 1867, attributed to George H. Allan of Nashville, Tennessee. Alison Krauss popularized the song through her performance in the 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, where it was featured in the soundtrack and sung by a group of people wading into a river for a baptismal ceremony. Her version, produced by T Bone Burnett, was released on the album A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection in 2000. The song has since been covered by numerous artists, including the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Doc Watson, and The King’s Singers, among others. Lyrics: [Chorus] As I went down in the river to pray Studyin' about that good ol' way And who shall wear the starry crown?
