Ray Dorset's summery ode encouraging people to wrecklessly drink drive was a global number one hit including in the UK, and peaked at USA #3. In 2012, Dorset successfully sued his former management company Associated Music International, run by his former friend and business manager Eliot Cohen, claiming over £2 million in royalties from the song that he believed had been withheld from him.

In the USA and in my charts this band had many hits, in the UK this was the first of just two. This is not the original version, Randy Newman wrote it and Eric Burdon & the Animals had recorded it previously, which is interesting because Alan Smith had also covered a Randy Newman song.

30th May 1970

It's straight in at 1 for Bread, and David Gates' first of many great ballads, Make It With You, a lovely song that even sounded very good in the 90's when Let Loose covered it. Cat Stevens' fab Lady D'Arbanville is up to 3, his biggest since Matthew And Son, and Marvin Gaye gets his 2nd top 10 of the year. A huge fave of mine during 1970 pops in at 37, Mungo Jerry's perennial In The Summertime - my love for it lasted a decade or so before cheesy TV adverts, cheesy covers, remixes, and an endless list of media spots took away a lot of it's charm. Ray Dorset is still great though, and they had much better records to come. 

Another fave of 1970 is in at 47, like Mungo, Cliff topped my charts of the time with Goodbye Sam Hello Samantha with a bit of pop fluff that was not remotely controversial at the time, but these days the title might confound some contemporary expectations. In at 56 another giant of pop, the immortal All Right Now, as Free debut with a record I didn't know until it's first reissue in 1973 (not played on Singapore/Malaya radio), so for me it's always been the less-good 3rd single, after the much better A Little Bit Of Love, and the brilliant Wishing Well. Also one I've overdosed on hearing over the years, whereas the rarely-played other 2 Free hits are still fresh. Mark Lindsay is back with a second single, Silver Bird, an improvement on Arizona.
