1* CoveredUp:
2** "Take Me Down" and "The Closer You Get" were both recorded by Exile back in that band's pop-rock era. The latter also had a version by Don King (not the boxing promoter) in between. (Incidentally, Exile would escape its OneHitWonder status by reinventing itself as a country music band somewhat in Alabama's image.)
3** "Touch Me When We're Dancing" was first a hit for a Muscle Shoals studio band called... wait for it... Bama. It was covered up by Music/{{Carpenters}} before Alabama covered ''them'' up.
4** Two versions of "Song of the South" had barely scraped the charts before Alabama's: one by Johnny Russell, and another by Music/TomTHall (as a duet with Earl Scruggs).
5** "In Pictures" was first recorded by Linda Davis.
