Written by Don Black and Mark London, husband of the Scottish singer's longtime manager Marion Massey. Mickie Most produced the record, with Don Leander arranging and conducting, and the Mindbenders playing on the recording. Unbelievable this USA #1 hit was only ever released as a B-side in the UK ("Let's Pretend"). I used to hear this song a lot on Radio 2, but I'm struggling to think when I last heard the station play this track in the past few years...

Soul Man was written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter. The latter should not be confused with David Prater, who was the "Dave" in the duo.

I always thought that Soul Man was a hit single. I'll have to remember to chart it next week.

#40 in the Billboard chart this week, will climb as high as #2 in the USA. #24 peak in the UK in November 1967.

Oh, I'll wait until it charts in the UK then.

[Earl Purple]

I do these based on where it charts first.

Because if I was doing this at the time I wouldn't have the future knowledge of it charting somewhere else later.

So Jackie Wilson's "Higher And Higher" is in 1967, "I Get The Sweetest Feeling" is in 1968, Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" is right at the start of 1969, Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" in the summer of 1969. Smokey Robinson & The Miracles hit "Tracks OF My Tears" won't appear on this chart in 1969 because it reached #1 in my chart in 1965. In fact 1969 is full of "returning" songs, but I charted "Harlem Shuffle" because when it came out in 1963 it failed to reach the US top 40 so didn't get into my chart then.

I guess because "Soul Man" is just a few weeks away in the UK you are charting it now.

[Whitneyfan]

To be honest I'm not that particular about it. If I see a song that I like on the US chart, or the Haven chart, that isn't going to chart in the UK then I'll chart it.. but I don't listen to everything so I must miss quite a few.

23rd September 1967

It's a first week on top for the fab Bee Gees' Massachussets, as the almost-as-fab Gibb brothers' (and friends) Holiday pops in at 24, both showcasing Robin Gibb's fragile but effective lead vocals. Peter Frampton is up to 3, and the highest new entry is at 7, a future tender top 10 cover (in my charts) by Alison Krauss, Baby Now That I've Found You, The Foundations debut with the late Clem Curtis' triff vocals. A great UK pop song, and just behind it a great US pop song fromThe Cowsills, daft title or not it sparked a TV show inspired by the family group (The Partridge Family). 5 brothers, 1 sister, 1 mother, and another fab track 2 years in the future.

Aretha replaces herself in the top 20, the gorgeous Caroie King song You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman keeping up her run of 1967 chart entries at a frantic pace. This is her pearl in the '67 shell, though, a version even better than Carole King's Tapestry brilliance. Scott Walker bounds into the 20 with Mathilde, giving him 2 consecutive dramatic ballads, and few do that better than Scott. Georgie Fame goes top 30 with a sweet track, the best version of Hush goes top 40 (the lyrics actually make sense as sung by Billy, rather than one-level in the covers), and the good South African Pata Pata brings Miriam Makeba to international note.

The Hollies are back again, as ever, Jackie DeShannon pops in with an oldie (her cover to be covered by The Four Tops) - which she frankly didn't need to do: pause for breath...byt his stage she had dated Elvis, toured with and inspired The Beatles, wrote songs like When You Walk In The Room, Breakaway, Bette Davis Eyes, When You Walk In The Room, and co-wrote with Led Zep Jimmy Page, Randy Newman, and had hits herself with Put A Little Love In Your Heart and What The World Needs Now Is Love. Legend, and still going strong! Oh, yes, mustn't forget that Hendrix fellow with a good track that was, cough, to be an "inspiration", cough, for Cozy Powell's Dance With The Devil (splutter, a better record, sacrilege!).
