Dana - Look Around



On 16 February 1969, Dana appeared on national TV in Ireland for the first time. She'd made it to the final of the Irish National Song Contest which was broadcast live from Dublin by RTE on a Sunday evening. But she still managed to finish second, Muriel Day and "Wages of Love" took that position and so went off to Spain to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest on 29 March 1969.

Recorded a year earlier, as this electric piano rocker was John's submission for their spring 1968 single release (which ended up being "Lady Madonna" to the surprise of Paul, and anger of John, so he pulled the track allowing George's "Inner Light" to be the B-side. Even their stunt of performing this song, whilst the film crew were there to record the "live in the studio" video for Lady Madonna failed). Hence after setting up Apple Records this was the highlight of the unreleased tracks included on the Yellow Submarine OST which peaked at UK #3 & USA #2.

16th February 1969


It's a first week on top for the 1965 classic that keeps coming back again and again in the UK charts, because it's epic Phil Spector and epic vocals from Bill & Bobby. Highest new entry are The Bee Gees replacing themselves in the top 10 with the gorgeous First Of May, possibly their least-covered early great, which bewilders me somewhat, subtle and brilliant as it is. It keeps up the top 2 chart runs of most of their singles to date in my charts, as Glen Campbell keeps up a classic run of top 5 tracks with Jimmy Webb's brilliant Galveston in at 4 appearing 6 months earlier than I associate it with, as it enters the US charts. 

The top 10 has had a big make-over, as Ike & Tina get a first top 10, and Dean Martin gets his first too covering Glen Campbell. Dusty Springfield's follow-up single in the US hasn't charted here, off the forthcoming classic Dusty In Memphis album, but the B side has: Breakfast In Bed, a future biggie in the 80's for UB40 and Chrissie Hynde. The Beatles latest album also not yet featured, but next week should fix that! Cilla & The Monkees climb into the 40, and The Love Affair get a 4th chart entry at 40.

Other newies, Barry Ryan follows up with another histrionic track, albeit not quite the complete song that was Eloise, at 50, as more bubblegum joins the newies for Crazy Elephant, reggae Stevie Wonder for David Isaacs, jazzrock Blood, Sweat & Tears, and the Cowsills return with another Hair cover, this one the unlikely choice of Hair itself for the youngsters. Sly & his family also return to keep the family band connections in the chart many and varied, as Inez & Charlie Foxx do the same as the brother-sister duo bring their 1963 track into the UK charts belatedly but 5 years ahead of husband-wife Carly Simon & James Taylor's hit cover. Lastly one-man band, with no familial links, does it all himself again for the 3rd time as he breakfasts on Pluto. I assume he means the frozen downgraded dwarf planet (it's round, let's just call them "worlds" regardless of where they orbit or size) as opposed to the dog, which would be unhygienic and might annoy Disney.
