20th Sept 1969

It's a first week on top for Dusty Springfield's version of Barbara Ackland & Eugene Record's song, her second chart-topper, and it shows Dusty singing in a different register which works beautifully. Highest new entry at 4 is the original Na Na Hey Hey from Steam later covered to lesser effect by actual Nana's - Bananarama in 1983 did a good attempt though. Elvis gets his 3rd top 10 of 1969 and The Isley Brothers get a second (and again with an older Motown track).

Betty Everett climbs healthily into the 20, Maybe, and it's another quiet week for new entries with Tommy James adding to his lengthy list at 70 - great Ball Of Fire! Johnny Cash enters with Rhythm after his Sue ended up not even getting as high as 72, and The Archies try to get every track on their second album on the list: Hot Dog! Hot Dog was a big ol' dog named Hot Dog in the comic book and TV show and got plugged quite a bit.

Back in Singapore for the third week there and we were house-hunting to rent and move out of the Hotel. Our new friends the Marshalls found one in Bedokville and the new-builds there looked like pure middle-class Americana suburbs to me. The house next door to them was vacant and it had 4 bedrooms. It seemed like a mansion. Then there was school to think of. It had already started and I was about to start at RAF Seletar Secondary Modern, which involved a Ghari (white RAF bus) ride to the north side of the island, school uniform khaki shorts and white short-sleeved shirt. Everything was new and an adventure...

A slight anomaly at #1. "Sittin' On A Fence" was written by Jagger & Richards when they were just 22 years old, and given away to Twice As Much, who went to #25 with it in 1966. The Stones' own version didn't get a UK release until September 1969's Through The Past Darkly (Big Hits Vol.2) compilation. I think it is a rather lovely acoustic song, and a nice tribute to Brian Jones who plays guitar and harpsichord on it, and died 10 weeks prior to the album's release.
