A cover of Carole King replaces her at the top. James Taylor did collaborate with her on the Tapestry album but not on that song, however having been introduced to it he decided to record his own version.

26th June 1971

It's 2 weeks on top for The Bee Gees and their broken hearts, with Rod trying to shift away the classic ballads from the top spots at 4. Middle Of The Road get a 2nd bubblegum top 10, with the tartan of the clan and claymores all intact, and Joan Baez debuts with her brilliant version of The Band's The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, which would be troubling the UK charts over Christmas/New Year, but which features on her new album for now. I bought the single in a Californian superstore in 1979 while on holiday - this store had racks and racks of classic 60's and early 70's songs I didn't have on vinyl, so I bought as many as I thought I could afford, including this one. US singles were dodgy sound-wise, compared to UK vinyl, and the label designs and sleeves were never as good, but hey beggars can't be choosers.

In at 12 the second single owned by my RAF Swinderby friend Graham - I never did manage to get hold of a copy of this great Chinn-Chapman story-ballad song from New World, Aussies with UK-based success, at least not until the RAK record label (Best. single. label. design. ever - the boat and the colour blue is just so nostalgic for me) started putting out their back catalogue on budget compilation albums in the mid-70's. The next big entry at 46 is from Elvis, I'm Leavin' was on Top Of The Pops in September 1971 with a TOTP-made budget-video, and I took a shine to the record, but it was not a big hit, and as I didn't have my tape recorder at that time, it was another of the list of singles I requested for Xmas 1971, and it was one I duly got, along with Monkey Spanner. Mum & Dad had to say sorry the record shop (Redifusion in Lincoln) didn't have Tom Tom Turnaround or Nathan Jones though, doh!

Down the bottom end, there's 5 newies with a batch all pending for a space next week - it was either delay a week or expand to 90! Atomic Rooster get a soundalike follow-up, The Devil's Answer after Tomorrow Night, but I like them both, Dr. Hook debut with the Shel Silverstein song, Last Mornin' - I really liked this era of Dr. Hook, they were quirky. That all changed a bit in 1976 as they became more MOR and more lead-singer Dennis Loccoriere-based. I saw him in concert about ten years ago, a good night out! Bread keep the alternating rock singles with new entry Mother Freedom, Gilbert opts for a ballad again, We Will, and future UB40 hit Maybe Tomorrow proves to be the first lesser Jackson 5 single, not including Christmas songs.

Wot I liked then 29th June 1971

It's 4 weeks on top for the Chirpy Cheeping, but not tweeting in those days, as Hurricane Smith becomes the latest track to peak at 2 as Middle Of The Road refuse to shift. He won't be the last one to peak at 2, either! Dave & Ansil Collins go top 10, and Tom Tom Turnaround, entering at 18 for New World, their second hit of the year, and a Chinn-Chapman production that signals later balladry from Smokie. Both singles were owned by my RAF Swinderby friend Graham, who had been there in 1969 when we left and was still there in 1971 when we got back, so I became hooked on them. I requested both singles as my big christmas present that year, including some other tracks not yet charted, and duly got Monkey Spanner, but the record shop didn't have Tom Tom Turnaround, so had to wait some years to get a copy of that one!

Bob & Marcia go top 10, and Greyhound debut with the wonderful record and less-wonderful shambolic school assembly song (kids trying to sing reggae to a piano and teachers blissfully unaware of the hit version): Black & White had great well-meaning lyrics though, so reggae doing pretty well all in all. There's a live version of the band singing the song on German TV on youtube, and the lead singer literally gives a tight-trouser zip-busting energetic performance while the audience, politely looking on, clap along while seated. Finally, Lobo debuts with his dog, Boo, a nice ballad.
