Prematurely ejected from Haven Factor, so here's a compensatory clip.

17th April 1971

After 3 weeks as runners-up, it's The Jackson 5 on top with the still-gorgeous Never Can Say Goodbye. It won't be the last time that song tops my chart, cos there's an even-better version dropping in just over 3 years time. Highest new entry is from 60's hitmakers The Fortunes. Had I been charting in 1965 they would have topped my charts with the still-awesome, and not-nearly-known-enough-for-my-liking, You've Got Your Troubles, a song I just adored as a kid. And adult. Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again was a fab comeback hit for them - in the USA. Quite why it didn't hit in the UK is beyond me, cos it's fab, but it did at least set them up for 2 more big UK hits, one of which topped my 1972 charts.

Mozart at last gets into my top 10 after 183 years of waiting patiently. I assume he would've at any rate, but as it was written in 1788 that makes it the oldest tune to make my charts up to that point. Ringo knocks John out of the 20, but it don't come easy. Other newies include Stevie Wonder's track off his new album, and future US/UK hit in late 1971/early 1972, If You Really Loved Me, which is blatantly nearly a duet with his wife Syreeta at times, so I've given her credit, as she contributes more than the average "featuring" guest rapper does these days. Two voices in harmony is of more value than an irritating 2 or 4 lines of nothing much plonked into a record that isn't improved but is designed to sell it to a wider audience.

Luther Ingram is back with a bit of a soul goodie, Diana Ross transforms a Four Tops classic into another, lesser, Ain't No Mountain High Enough talk's n strings cover, but Reach Out I'll Be There will also be improved as the follow-up 1975 hit to the Gloria Gaynor smash cover of The Jackson 5's Never can Say Goodbye. It's Eurovision! Clodagh is top 20, and was a radio staple in Singapore. The contest was not broadcast there (Boo!) so I had no idea who won (Severine), nor did I hear the track for years, by which time I wasn't too fussed about it on one listen. I've caught it a few times since then, mostly after I bought the 2-CD Eurovision Hits album (up to 1980) ten years or so ago, and it's quite pleasant. Clodagh's is better though, but at least the UK have won in the last 50 years, which is more than Monaco can claim, so no hard feelings.

Norman Greenbaum gets a follow-up chart entry, unexpectedly, as I'd never heard of California Earthquake - at first I was expecting a Mamas & Papas cover, but no it's a decent rock blues pop effort. That leaves Free's My Brother Jake. Like Brown Sugar, another big rock hit I just. don't. get. At least the Stones have some balls going in theirs, but this is still a bit disappointing. I may have been influenced by the order in which I originally heard the Free hits: 1st, Little Bit Of Love 1972 which was good, Wishing Well 1973 which was utterly brilliant, then All Right Now a hit again in 1973 which was Little Bit Of Love-ish from my point of view but not as good, then this in 1976 and on the 1978 Free EP I bought. Often tracks grow on me with the years but this one has never done more than the minimum requirement to be worthy of scraping a mention: It's OK.

My Original Charts
for 20th April 1971

It's 2 weeks on top for Dawn, making a total of 6 knocks on the ceiling as CCR get runners-up spot. The Sweet get a first top 5, but funny funnily it'll be pretty much every Sweet single through to the end of 1974 that goes top 5. The Fantastics get a top 10, and highest new entry is the song that I woke up singing in my head one sunny morning in Singapore. And I'd never heard it before, but that hook was insistent. Switched on the radio and it was on the radio coming to the end of the song. I'm guessing someone in the house adjacent had accidentally put the radio on loud and it woke me up. Or I'm psychic and tuned into radio waves. One or the other.

Hot Choc enter with a second single, a band I would be mad for by the end of the year as I go all obsessive on the next single, and a band I never stopped loving. Still love 'em. At 19, and a Singapore radio-aired track my dad probably taped, I think, and one I rather liked in a quaint fashion, as actor Keith Michell tries to give is the Earth. Given what we've done to it over the last 50 years, I'd say his trust was rather over-optimistic. Nice tune though. Keith would crop up on Morecambe & Wise, various BBC drama shows, and....in the 1980 top 10 with Captain Beaky. I prefer this one.
