8th August 1970

It's Hot Chocolate getting a 2nd week on top in a hugely competitive top 16 for me, frankly they should all be top 5 and the next ten or so top 10. Rodgriguez, a track new to me, is at 3 which is amazing considering what's it up against in my affections. Melanie's original version pushes out The New Seekers cover of What Have They Done To My Song, Ma in a case of lyrics-as-reality, but I love both versions. R.Dean Taylor gets a 3rd top 10, Neil Diamond also a 3rd as Cracklin' Rosie is the highest new entry at 9, just edging out the 3rd version of Woodstock to chart, and the best version by some distance, from Matthews Southern Comfort. Ian Matthews would be back with another goodie - in 1979. 

Melanie has 2 top 20's as Ruby Tuesday goes where The Rolling Stones have gone before, and Warm Earth go where The Temptations have gone before - it peaked at 20 in 1967 - but I think I prefer this banging pyschedelic Motown version to the original. The Four Tops are back with another goodie, Still Water (Love) at 26, they can do no wrong right through to 1974 or so. There's a big climb for Jimmy Cliff's Wild World, another melodramatic goodie from Tom Jones, I (Who Have Nothing) in at 53, the non-stop 5th Dimension entries continue with On The Beach, and Deep Purple return from their Hush debut 2 years earlier with Black Night, as Ian Gillan fronts their big period of success, and 50 years later they have also debuted in my current personal chart as Gillan's vocals still resonate on new stuff.
