Not dedicated to the woman in David Geddes's song because she doesn't really exist, it's just a song. Sad song though anyway.
I've marked it as Rod Stewart's 2nd number one with Maggie May being the first but he also sang uncredited on another number one, Python Lee Jackson's "In A Broken Dream".
Tavares get the second highest entry at #15 whilst Barry Manilow falls from #13 to #23 this week. (Hey, what do these two songs have in common?)
