A great song from 1970 that must be played on radio more often

I love the 1970 song by John and Anne Ryder 'I STILL BELIEVE IN TOMORROW.'It is a very hummable,pop-folk song and must be played on radio more often.I was lucky enough to be able to hear it on You Tube.This song was the basis of the 1970 hit French song in Quebec 'LE PREMIER AMOUR' by Francois et Liette.'LE PREMIER AMOUR' by Francois et Liette is also a beautiful song.I have it on a cassette tape from my parents,somewhere.
