5th March 1989
Donna Summer gets her first chart-topper since I Feel Love, 12 years earlier, with this joyous and yet sad song (for me, sad memories). A great melody, and even the SAW hit machine helped with the bursting enthusiasm. A welcome break from anxiety and worry was the Nana’s Top 5 Beatles cover, Help! In with a bang, though, it’s Madonna, a new look, flowing locks, controversial video and an awesome gospel song in at 7.
S’Express get a third Top 10, Jacko keeps his Top 10 run going, and Jesus Jones freak it at 16. In from nowhere, a novelty hit – Kon Kan at 18. Oh it was yodellingly funny, and not least for sampling Lynn Anderson’s Rose Garden, an old fave. Def Lep meanwhile rock it to 20.
A supergroup return at 28, the Wilbury’s, but minus the late great Roy. A great singalong gem. Inexplicably flopped, just like Jesus Jones. Gene Pitney, another great, gets a solo hit with a cover of Roy Orbison’s 60’s classic, so he’s there in spirit if not in fact. Jason Donovan follows up his Kylie duet with his own (lesser) SAW pop ditty, Randy Newman and Lou Reed add a bit of non-chart class to my list, 20 years on from making waves in the late 60’s, albeit waves that didn’t sell much at the time. Meanwhile I was playing The Fifth Dimension’s hits album a lot as my golden oldie.
