6th June 1970

It's 2 weeks on top for Bread, heavily challenged by fellow Easy Listening act (as it was known in those days) Carpenters, who enter with a second cover version - this time a Bacharach/David B side that gives brother/sister Richard & Karen Carpenter the definitive version of Close To You and their signature song, kick-starting a hugely successful career in terms of quality and sales, but ultimately tragic for poor Karen who struggled with being in the spotlight, not helped by the sometimes thoughtless press, and critical mauling from the rock press too busy being Street Cred, oblivious to her timeless voice and interpretation, and the impeccable production. Like Pet Shop Boys and Eurythmics, there's not really a capitalised "The" in front of the band name, but people just think there is cos it sounds wrong saying it without...

The Beatles make it 3 in the 20, The Jackson 5 get a 4th top 40, and Love Of The Common People returns, this time in the Nicky Thomas reggae version, which improves of the previous entry from The Winstons, and sets up the best version from Paul Young over a decade later. At 52, it's a bit of hysterical Witchy madness from The Rattles - not sure if it's been covered by a Witch House act, but it should be! B'J' Thomas is back yet again with a song made more famous by someone else in cover version - this time it's Elvis who did a live version for a huge UK hit, and probably the best recorded live release Elvis did in the 70's, I Just Can't Help Believing that's true.

Mod Squad/ Twin Peaks actor Peggy Lipton gets a third chart entry with a rather nice version of Donovan's Wear Your Love Like Heaven, I'm sure Quincy Jones (her hubby) approved, and finally Cissy Houston gets a solo entry with I'll Be There, having previously appeared many times as a member of Sweet Inspirations and backing Elvis, Dusty, Otis, Van and many others famous enough to just use a first name and you know who they are. Singles she's appeared on include Brown Eyed Girl, Music In Me (Kiki Dee), Mother & Child Reunion (Paul Simon), Young Americans (Bowie), I'm Every Woman (Chaka Khan), oh and one track by her daughter Whitney Houston, who she sounds uncannily like on this one - at least if Whitney had been able to sound soulful before the drugs harmed her range and life.
