[smokeyb]

The Beatles not only hold on to the top spot this week, but now have the top 2 (just as well we don't count streaming or they would probably have the top 10 positions) .

The Stones slip 1 place to number 3, Herman's Hermits are at 4 and the Hollies complete the top 5.

There are a total of 8 new entries this week, the highest being Whistling Jack Smith. The highest climber this week is The Alan Price Set which leaps 23 places, the biggest fall is by Sonny & Cher who dropped 43 places and out of the chart.

This week's new entries:-

Dave Clark Five - YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES :: The DC5 add a Stax sound to Marv Johnson's 1960 #7 hit. Johnny Kidd & the Pirates had a contemporary 1960 chart entry which stalled outside the Top 20. The most successful version in the UK arrived in 1977, when Showaddywaddy scored the 3rd of their 7 consecutive Top 5 hits with a 50s throwback rendition. Future Motown founder Berry Gordy was one of the song's co-writers.

Sandie Shaw - PUPPET ON A STRING :: After a pair of #1 hits in 1964/65, Sandie Shaw's career was on the slide when Adam Faith talked her into entering the Eurovision Song Contest. Rolf Harris hosted 1967's "A Song For Europe", having showcased the five competing songs on his weekly television show. "Puppet On A String" was reputedly Sandie's least favourite of the choices. The Final was held on 8th April in Vienna. I don't want to spoil the result...

Velvet Underground - THERE SHE GOES AGAIN & I'M WAITING FOR THE MAN :: I'm not going to pretend that I think "The Velvet Underground & Nico" is one of the best LPs ever released, because it isn't. But these two tracks are my favourites of the non-singles, and duly enter my chart during the week the album was released.

Simon Dupree & Big Sound - RESERVATIONS :: A minor hit on the Disc & Music Echo chart, and a Record Retailer bubbler, which gives Simon Dupree his second entry of 1967 on my list. "Reservations" was one of the first hits to be written by Albert Hammond. (His later compositions include "The Air That I Breathe", "When I Need You", "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", "One Moment In Time" and "Don't Turn Around").

10th March 1967

The Mamas & The Papas still hold off that Beatles 1-2, and joined by another kiddie fave of mine from Pet Clark at 4. Charlie Chaplin. Still find that hard to believe! The Four Tops get a 3rd Top 10 in a row, and The Walker Brothers go where the classic histrionic original from Lorraine Ellison also would have gone (had I started my Retro charts 2 years earlier). Highest new entry is a 3rd track from Nancy Sinatra at 14 - this time with Dad Frank - joining her duet with Lee Hazelwood and her solo Sugartown. Adore Nancy.

Harpers Bizarre's Simon & Garfunkel cover is joined by the duo themselves At The Zoo, Sandie Shaw's famous Eurovision winner is in as her ballad drops. It was great fun, was Puppet On A String, and I was allowed to stay up and watch it on TV. Hooray! Love Sandie, though I tend to agree with her these days about the track, but loved it age 9. A big jump for Peaches & Herb, annoyingly they had to wait for a substitute Peaches to get a UK hit over a decade later. 

Paul & Barry Ryan got top 40, just under a year before Barry Ryan topped my chart with a classic. That leaves Jimmy Ruffin returning with another goodie I didn't know, quite the string of great singles he had for 4 or 5 years! Keith pops in with an Eastern arrangement nicked from Gene Pitney's fab Mecca, The Artistics get a 2nd entry, Aarron Neville and Lou Reed ditto. I went to see Albert Hammond in concert last year, a good night out with an amazing song catalogue, and I can see the style very evident in the Simon Dupree new entry with his song.
