The folk rock eighth track from the American pop duo's fifth and final studio album, Bridge Over Troubled Water, was written by Paul Simon as a thinly failed attack on Art Garfunkel for his lack of commitment to the duo where Garfunkel went to Mexico to act in the film Catch-22 so delaying the recording of this album.

7th November 1970

It's 2 weeks on top for The Supremes as the brilliant Stoned Love holds off a bunch of guitar-based pop-rock, not least Rod Stewart getting a first top 3 with Python Lee Jackson's future UK top 3 and Santana's 1974 UK hit, the fab Samba Pa Ti. Both acts will be back with chart-toppers, Rod in the 70's and Santana in the 90's and 00's. Jimmy Ruffin grabs another top 10 as his hit run draws to a close for a few years, and The Partridge Family join in the guitar riffs at 10, replacing themselves in the top 10 as they also do in the top 30. 

Lots of big new entries in a truly packed chart for me, I expect it will dry up in December somewhat with reduced new releases after a certain ex-Beatle debuts a solo album, but so many classic tracks for me. In at 15, The Bee Gees terrific Lonely Days signals the return of Robin to the fold, and new in at 15, 3 years on from debut and still great, while C.C.S. take the Led Zep TOTP theme song into the 20 as the real thing debuts at 40 with the rifftastic Immigrant Song at 40. Debuting at 21, Dave Edmunds announces his solo career, having taken Sabre Dance near the top in 1968/9, with a 50's rocking track spruced-up for the 70's, I Hear You Knocking. He has future biggies ahead, including a 1973 chart-topper.

Dawn make it 2 in a row as Knock Three Times follows Candida into the 40, at 36, Gladys & The Pips return with one of their best tracks, If I Were Your Woman in at 48, and Michael Nesmith gets a third solo chart entry with a track I didn't know was an old track when it got pushed in the UK in 1976, and it made my top 10 then - Silver Moon. Just to brag a bit, of acts in this chart I've seen Mike with the original Monkees line-up, I've seen Gladys & one of the pips (her brother), Dave Edmunds, The Bee Gees, Mary Wilson of The Supremes, Santana, Andy Williams, Michael Jackson, Glen Campbell, Hot Chocolate, The Temptations (70's version), The Four Tops (original line-up), The Tremeloes, Smokey Robinson, McGuiness Flint (with the Manfreds) as they debut with When I'm Dead & Gone, 2 Beatles (Macca & Ringo), Mick Jagger (with The 80's line-up of The Rolling Stones) & Tom Jones. 

The Gentry's keep the good obscure singles coming, Goddess Of Love this one, Dusty replaces herself in the charts with both sides of a newish Gamble & Huff single, though G&H are elsewhere in the chart already (see Little Anthony climbing), The Allman brothers original version of fab future reggae UK big hit Midnight Rider debuts, a Tom Jones US single I've never heard before pops in - written by future Rubettes' songwrters Bickerton & Waddington - Curtis Mayfield's first single off the album follows the second single (oops wrong choice!), and Mick Jagger has a first solo record, though it's on The Rolling Stones Decca hits collection, and sounds like it's a Rolling Stones album track, despite the solo credit.
