Haven Retro Combined Chart : 10.07.1971

[smokeyb]

For only the 2nd time in retro chart history do we have a joint number one. The previous time was way back in May 1968

when both the Equals - Baby Come Back & Julie Driscoll - This Wheel's On Fire shared the top spot.



This is the 2nd single in a row that T.Rex have entered straight in at number 1 with their 3rd chart topper, is this a new domination, last seen by the Beatles.



This Time the Sweet get a 2nd week at the top, but they have to share it with T. Rex who enter straight in at number 1.



There are 9 new entries and 4 re-entries this week, the highest is T.Rex at number 1, but also the Move who enter at number 7.



The biggest climber is the Rolling Stones who jump up 19 places to number 6.



The biggest faller is Bob & Marcia who drop 70 places.

This USA #13, Canada #6 & Australia #16 was written by Delaney Bramlett in 1968 about her unborn child (Bekka Bramlett, who later was a singer in a Stevie Nick-less Fleetwood Mac (1993-95)). Alas it flopped in the UK .... so allowing the far inferior New Seekers cover version to later in 1971 hit UK #2.

10th July 1971

It's 2 weeks on top for the imperial T.Rex, banging that gong, and holding off The Chi-Lites brilliant Have You Seen Her at 2 - I love The Chi-Lites, and admire main singer/writer Eugene Record, but in all their years of hits they never appeared on UK TV, I've no idea why not but it means I had no idea what they looked like in their heyday - until I just caught them on Soul Train on Youtube singing this one. Fab! I saw the last remaining member on the final tour last decade, which wasn't quite the same, but it was great to hear the songs, even if Eugene passed away years before.

This week 50 years ago Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin each had a new album out, so cherry-picking the next 2 Diana Ross singles means future UK number one, and US relative flop, I'm Still Waiting enters at 14 - one of my "I got it for Christmas" singles because I never got to tape it off the radio and it was fab, but I did catch it on Top Of The Pops at my grandma & grandad's house in September. The single follow-up which I did tape in the autumn (and so didn't buy) actually topped my charts of the time - Surrender has a glorious hook, and enters at 9. Aretha meanwhile, has an uptempo funk cover of Ben E. King's Spanish Harlem, a song I knew, but had no idea where from at the time. Aretha at her near-best, in at 31.

There's no let-up in new entries vs departing tracks, so it's still a top 90, and a 4th entry for Dawn & Tony Orlando, as my 15-year-old Auntie had bought What Are You Doing Sunday? which I got to hear in September on afore-mentioned stereogram. I liked it, but not nearly as much as I loved Knock Three Times and Candida at the time. These days it's probably lasted the best of all their singles, maybe apart from Candida & Tie A Yellow Ribbon. Though everything is relative! Elvis gets 2 oldies joining his latest hit, 2 of his best 50's tracks as 50's nostalgia gets firmly underway to become a theme of 70's media.

Betty Wright is back again with one I don't know, ditto The Moody Blues, both are pretty decent, and Peggy Lee is also returning with a song I do know - I just didn't know she'd done it! Where Did They Go popped up on Top Of The Pops in 1972-ish with Sandie Shaw singing it looking for an elusive hit post-Monsieur Dupont. She only had to wait for Morrissey to grow up and 12 years to get one. Lastly another Jim Reeves oldie pops in. He was still making the UK charts almost a decade after he'd died, following the Buddy Holly pattern, and future Elvis pattern.

13th July 1971 My Charts of the time

It's 6 weeks chirping on top 50 years ago, as Dave, the original Dave not the recent pretender, and Ansel Collins are at 2 with a spot of cheerful Monkey Spanner in the reggae works. New World get their biggest hit as Tom Tom Turnaround hits 3, and Greyhound get a first top 10 (but not a last) as Black & White goes up. The Move also grab a 2nd top 10, following on from Blackberry Way topping my chart 3 years earlier.

New in at 16, The New Seekers have a pending monster as I get to hear it on my grandma & grandad's stereogram, cos my Auntie Ann (15 years old) had bought it and I went mad on it immediately. It reminded me in the boop boop bits of some of the singing Sesame Street gang that had started on Singapore TV. I know I was MUCH too old to watch it (at 13) but hey it was still mildly entertaining anyway. Talking of Singapore, dad bought a Singapore act's cover (in Mandarin), The Travellers doing Knock Three Times, which tickled him after hearing it on a Changi Village market stall. Finally, Canadian folkie Gordon Lightfoot enters with the wonderful If You Could Read My Mind, one I grew to love more with the years passing.
