20th June 1970

It's 2 weeks on top for Close To You as the UK switches to Edward Heath's Tory government, and Brazil win the World Cup, and The US was starting to get into Canadian Songstress Anne Murray and her honey-smooth vocals, entering at 2 with the wonderful Snowbird, a song I was mad on - we went to see RAF friends of mum & dad in Suicide Village, Singapore, on the bus and I couldn't get the tune out of my head for weeks after hearing it. It received the ultimate seal of approval when Brian & Stewie fell in love with it and stalked the actual Anne Murray in Family Guy, Stan style. She was a total sport going along with it.

Carole King gets her classic Up On The Roof song into the top 10 - it would top my charts as an oldie in the original Drifters version in the 21st Century - and Edwin Starr returns with a wallop and a half, his signature tune the awesome War, ever-relevant. What is it good for? Still absolutely nothing. In another quiet new entry week, there's a cluster at the bottom end, a good Glen Campbell minor US hit, Buddy Miles covering (and improving on) Neil Young's Down By The River adjacent to Neil's Ohio, Lulu very much in her Atco soul years (ie hitless in the UK bar one track), Kenny Rogers back again with another social commentary song, Dionne Warwick sneaking in with a lesser Bacaharch tune, and a jolly country original version of Help Me Make It Through The Night from Kris Kristofferson, which sort of makes sense for the John Holt reggae hit cover but sounds odd if you know the soulful Gladys Knight version best.
