New Entries:-

Martha & Vandellas - JIMMY MACK : This single was destined to peak at #21 on the Record Retailer / BMRB charts in both 1967 and 1970, although it did make the Top 20 of the NME, Melody Maker and Disc charts. A Holland-Dozier-Holland composition.

Four Seasons - BEGGIN' : Didn't chart in the UK, but reached #16 in the USA. Features in the Jersey Boys musical.

Four Tops - BERNADETTE : The second new entry this week by Holland-Dozier-Holland, taking their total in my Top 20 to 3 tracks. Like "Jimmy Mack" this also had a 70s re-release in the UK, when it stopped at #23.

Harpers Bizzare - 59th STREET BRIDGE SONG (FEELIN' GROOVY) : A faithful cover of a Simon & Garfunkel song that appeared on their "Parsley Sage Rosemary And Thyme" LP. Harpers Bizzare were a Californian vocal harmony group that featured Ted Templeman on guitar and vocals. Templeman was later to become a noted producer, helming albums by Van Halen, Van Morrison, Carly Simon, the Doobie Brothers, Eric Clapton and Aerosmith.

Frank & Nancy Sinatra - SOMETHIN' STUPID : When this reached #1 in the UK, it set several records. The first parent and child duet to hit the top. The first #1 by a pair of artists who had previously scored solo #1s. The first one-hit wonder to top both the UK and US charts.

Pink Floyd - ARNOLD LAYNE : Pink Floyd's debut single, written by Syd Barrett, was about a transvestite. The band's management later admitted to having bought many of the copies that propelled it into the charts.

24th March 1967

In which The Monkees do an Ed Sheeran and continue to dominate my charts - as they would have in 1967 in a hypothetical teen-streaming world. Neil Diamond's Davy Jones-vocal delight is on top, as Mike Nesmith's song with Micky Dolenz vocals shoots up to 7. Jeff beck hit my top 3 in 1972 with Hi Ho, so no surprise it shoots up into the 20, and ditto the Four Tops which topped my chart in 1972 at 3. A new one to me is up to 20 for The artistics, and also the Paul & Barry Ryan goodie at 19. 

A 3rd Neil Diamond song is the highest new entry at 24, for the man himself - the song had to wait till the 90's to chart in the UK, which was ridiculous. A huge leap for Little Anthony & The Imperials, not entirely unlike a great late-60's Four Seasons song, while Cat Stevens also gets a 3rd song on the listing with I'm Gonna Get Me A Gun - it's a great record, if an awkward title these days. An old Manfred fave is in at 42, a Supremes biggie that I never took to quite as much as their other hits (it clearly wasn't Holland-Dozier-Holland quality, more MOR than soul) Happening at 53, and The Raelettes (Ray Charles backing group) sneak in lower - the number of singers that passed through the band is amazing, and includes Merry "Rolling Stones" Clayton, Minnie "Loving You" Ripperton and Marilyn "Fifth Dimension" McCoo.

Talking of female soul greats, Patti LaBelle is in 8 years ahead of Lady Marmalade, while William Bell drops in 2 years ahead of a Private Number, legendary Pink Floyd chart Arnold Layne and start the road to immortality in a modest psychedelic pop fashion, and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band pop in 2 years ahead of their memorable Can O' Beans in "Paint Your Wagon" and topping my chart in 1975 with All I Have To Do Is Dream. The country legends are still at it, as far as I know, and did a concert 8 years ago with Alison Krauss, who is currently back in my singles 2017 charts. I enjoy a good link/advert.
