40 Friends Of Distinction - Love Or Let Me Be Lonely (1wk 40 NEW)

The much covered boogie blues rock staple taken from the Los Angeles rock group's Morrison Hotel album, it was originally released as the B-side to their single "You Make Me Real". However, USA radio DJ's flipped the single resulting in this track reaching USA #50. It would have gone much higher, but because of Jim Morrison's much publicised indiscretions running into trouble with the Police, the band were somewhat persona non grata on USA Top 40 radio at the time.

This one has sneaked into my top 10 at #7 this week so let's give it a play

[Whitneyfan]

This is tough at the moment because 'Bridge over troubled water' is one of the best and most iconic songs ever made, so it has to spend a decent number of weeks at #1. Consequently 'Let It Be', which is also iconic, had to make do with several weeks at #2 (although I nearly swapped them around for a week so it at least got a week there), but then along comes yet another all-time classic in 'Spirit In The Sky'!

01(01) Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
02(03) Norman Greenbaum – Spirit In The Sky
03(02) The Beatles – Let It Be

4th April 1970

It's 4 week son top for Ray Stevens as he continues to hold off a host of challengers at 2, this week it's Elton John's Border Song biding his time to knock off Everything Is Beautiful. Choirs can be wondrous things done properly, and each has one. The Ides Of March get a top 10 for their one and only time, a single-use Vehicle, while Dana tiptoes in for her first (but not last) top 10 - Fairytale would also do the trick in 1976, co-incidentally the same title as a future Eurovision winner that also topped my charts, and though Dana may have ruled the roost in my 50-years-ago affections she doesn't quite register as highly these days. 

Top 40 climbs for BJ Thomas' wistful ballad, Eddie Holman's second top 40 with another hovering just outside, Charlie Rich's first 4 years ahead of the wonderful Most Beautiful Girl In The World, and the late Julie Felix giving If I Could two appearances. A quiet week for new entries lets me knock the chart back down to 75, and Dionne Warwick gets the highest entry with another Bacharach/David song joining BJ Thomas'. The Hollies can't tell the bottom from the top - not a problem I've ever had, I must say - while Roger Whittaker doesn't believe in If anymore. Both very nice ballads with a melancholy touch. 

The England World Squad have high ambitions, but both Back Home and the World Cup passed me by in tropical Singapore. I'm guessing they were televised but as Mexico is 13 hours behind I'd imagine I was in bed and much more interested in who was on the Andy Williams Show or what songs would feature in this week's episode of The Archies later in the evening, rather than a bunch of blokes running about a field kicking a ball on the grass for a bit. If it was repeated on telly I would be certain to have been reading my DC comics, or Just William or something similar.
