  March 20, 1976 - 45 Years Ago Today: Diana Ross had the Hot Shot Debut at No. 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with her single, "I Thought It Took A Little Time (But Today I Fell In Love)."

"Songbird" had peaked at No. 25 just one week prior to the debut of this single, but "Prisoner" had been released due to it being the leadoff single from the motion picture, "Eyes Of Laura Mars," which starred Faye Dunaway, which just happened to be produced by Jon Peters - Streisand's then-boyfriend of five years.
