17th September 1972

It's a first week on top for Love Train and 2nd chart-topper for The O'Jays as the sweet soul Sound Of Philadelphia starts to make inroads by the week - this week Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes as voiced by the great Teddy Pendergrass debut at 60 with If You Don't Know My By Now, and there will be more Gamble & Huff for the next 7 years or so, not to mention those inspired by them. Hot Chocolate are up to 2, and Mama Cass at 3 for her biggest since It's Getting Better 3 years earlier. Gary Glitter makes it 2 top 10's in a row.

Highest new entry is Scot Junior Campbell, ex-Marmalade, now striking off on his own with the gospel Hallelujah Freedom new at 45, while new at 66 Iron Cross' cover of Little Bit O' Soul is getting plays on Alan Freeman's Radio 1 Show, which was about to end along with his reign as the voice of the UK chart rundown, as he got moved over to Rock broadcasting shows and Tom Browne took over the charts rundown. New at 71, The Chi-Lites grab a 3rd chart entry of 1972 with A Lonely Man, Barbra Streisand headlines a TV special with an amazing intro - everything including the kitchen sink and an orchestra is thrown into the opening live medley intro - which obligingly charted in the USA: Sing, a future hit for Carpenters, is mashed with Mama Cass' Make Your Own Kind Of Music. Well worth a Youtube to see La Streisand in her unbeatable prime. What a voice! Finally, Odyssey debut with a new track to me - Our Lives Are Shaped By What We Know introduces them to the Retro rundown 7 years earlier than they debuted in my charts of the times.

17th September 1972 (my chart of that week then)


It's straight in on top for The Sweet latest Glam Rock stomper, Wig-Wam Bam being the first of more chart-toppers, and beating out T.Rex who settle for 4 with Children Of The Revolution. jolly reggae at 5 for Dandy Livingstone and Suzanne Beware Of The Devil. Hurricane Smith makes it a 3rd top 10 in a row with Who Was It, and Roxy Music add to the Glam Rock as Virginia Plain becomes their first of many top 10's at 9. 

Teen pop debuts include David Cassidy at 19 with How Can I Be Sure, and Donny Osmond at 20 with Too Young. I've grown to love How Can I Be Sure with the years, not so much Too Young. The Seashells cover Lesley Gore at 25, Maybe I Know new in, and Elton John has a disappointingly non-ballad follow-up to Rocket Man, as Honky Cat creeps in at 29.
