Only one new entry this week:-

Supremes - LOVE IS HERE AND NOW YOU'RE GONE : Another Holland-Dozier-Holland composition & production, and the Supremes' 9th US chart topper. It was the penultimate hit featuring the line-up of Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard. Ballard was replaced by Cindy Birdsong in April 1967. The song was the B-side of Michael Jackson's 1972 #3 hit "Rockin' Robin"; and features on Phil Collins' under-rated 2010 #1 album "Going Back".


The video clip isn't very well synched, and kicks off with the rather insincere "This is one of our favourite songs, and we hope its your's", but its still a pretty nice song...

40 Dusty Springfield - I'll Try Anything (1wk 40 NEW)

My featured track of the week: Produced by Bob Crewe, this Sunshine pop Mercury Records release was written by Marvin Hamlisch and Howard Liebling. It may only have peaked at USA #16, but due to its relative lengthy chart run for the period it ranked 61st on Billboard Top 100 sellers of the year, helped by the promo from the Batman TV series where the New York singer was the character Pussycat, the Catwoman's protégé, who also wanted to be a singer. It turned out to be her final top 40 hit.

Two videos today. I always associate these two with each other, probably because of them being in the chart at the same time...

I have no idea why neither of these are on Spotify, but...

This song was written by Randy Newman and covered by Alan Price after he left the Animals:



This is Roger Cook & Roger Greenaway's "studio" track with session musicians. That duo had also recorded as Jonathan And David and had also written songs for The Fortunes.

26th Feb 1967


A second week on top for The Beatles' Penny Lane, which is pretty much what I loved at the time, just ahead of the track I loved most of all in 1967 and the years afterwards, in at 2 for The Mamas & The Papas' Dedicated..., a cover version appropriately as they get covered at 10, and replace themselves in my top 10 with a single that should have been. 

So many new entries, most of the high entries from tracks I loved at the time, bar Brenda & The Tabulations which is new to me and is fab. I came across my mid-70's rates (I compiled my top 100's of each year from 1964 onwards based on the NME book of top 20 singles) and some tracks like Petula, Herman's Hermits, and the dropping-out Edelweiss were way higher in my love in those days. The Vince Hill song is not a patch on The Sound Of Music original though, which I still love.

Elsewhere a pre-Monkees Micky Dolenz pops in, along with a bunch of US minor hits and some flops. One of the songs is very famous now though!

1 ( 1 ) PENNY LANE The Beatles
2 ( NEW ) DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE The Mamas & The Papas
3 ( 3 ) LAST TRAIN TO CLARKSVILLE The Monkees
4 ( 2 ) LOVE IS HERE AND NOW YOU’RE GONE The Supremes
5 ( 14 ) STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER The Beatles
6 ( 4 ) MATTHEW AND SON Cat Stevens
7 ( 9 ) THIS IS MY SONG Petula Clark
