New Entries:-

Procol Harum - A WHITER SHADE OF PALE : As I was first getting into music, this song always featured on best songs of all-time lists, as compiled by newspapers and radio stations. Its two chart runs meant it spent more than 6 months on the charts, which was a rare occurrence back in the 60s and 70s.

Young Rascals - GROOVIN' : Like "Somebody To Love" and several due to enter the charts in the next few months, this is a track which will forever be associated with the Summer Of Love. It has also been a hit for Pato Banton and War, and I have album track versions by Marvin Gaye, Booker T & MGs and Yazz.

Byrds - MY BACK PAGES : Bubbling under this week in 1967 is the 7th Bob Dylan songs to have been covered, sublimely, by the Byrds. This track was drawn from 1964's "Another Side..." LP.

Petula Clark - DON'T SLEEP IN THE SUBWAY : A Tony Hatch / Jackie Trent composition, which was, surprisingly, a bigger hit in America than Britain.

19th May 1967

New in on top and it's the start of the Summer Of Love with the hippie anthem from The Mamas & The Papas..err I mean John Phillips very generous gift to Scott McKenzie (imagine if he'd kept it, ah if only). I loved this song at the time, in the sunny days living on the Isle Of Anglesey (rural RAF Valley), as did my mum. I still love it. One I didn't know at the time is up to 4 (Frankie Valli's classic original), as Pet Clark is straight in at 10 with another childhood fave from the days when Tony Hatch knocked out the melodic pop gems on a weekly basis - Don't Sleep In The Subway.

Another biggie in at 12, the original Light My Fire, The Doors classic, another I knew in later years (Jose Feliciano was MY original), and up 50 places another song I knew but a version I didn't - Wayne Fontana's earlier version of Gene Pitney's 24 Sycamore. The Walker Brothers return to the top 20 with another cover - this time Walking In The Rain - and Tommy James hits my top 20 with a track that should have been a big A side single. Much better than the otherwise-decent Mirage. 

A band I'd never heard of 6 months ago, The Five Stairsteps, replace themselves in my top 40 with a great cover of Smokey Robinson's Ooh Baby Baby, and the timeless trippie-classical groove from Procol Harum is in at 33, 5 years ahead of it making my real charts in 1972. A great Grass Roots track goes top 40, one I got to know on Florida 60's oldies radio in the 90's - they tended to pick a theme (in this case records from 1963 to 1973) and then play oldies from that era on rotation as if they were new tracks. As I used to holiday in Orlando most years, that was a voyage of 60's oldies discovery for me, taping onto cassette from the radio.

Up Up And Away, 2 versions, The Johnny Mann version was the UK hit version I knew at the time and liked, but The 5th Dimension I got to know in 1969 to 1971 and became a huge fan of (they were on Ed Sullivan shows broadcast on Singapore TV, and on Singapore radio) - so that gets the higher chart placing. Others: a Dusty goodie, Showstoppers later UK hit, The Association's Windy (not a UK hit but a well-known song), Engelbert's monster follow-up, Manfred's Tommy Roe cover, and a bunch of super-heroes at 75. Ah if only....
