27th March 1971

It's 5 weeks on top for Hot Love, as a new contender emerges from The Jackson 5, and their lovely Never can Say Goodbye, their second-biggest to date. Neil Diamond makes it 3 top 10's, Carole King gets a 3rd off Tapestry, and Dave & Ansell Collins get a first. Al Green gets his first top 20, and Babs Streisand her 3rd Laura Nyro top 20. Highest new entry is Mozart 40, already out in Europe for Waldo De Los Rios, and a huge hit on the way much to the chagrin of Classical Music fans who didn't like the 'pop do-over" - which to be honest wasn't anywhere near as insulting as Hooked On Classics, so the snooty crowd can just go sulk as I loved this version, and still do, in at 22. The cover which charted first from Sovereign Collection, I never heard until the 90's and it's a bit weedier sounding, hence the lower chart entry.

There's a bunch of tracks new to me, or not huge faves that I do know, so I've had to extend the charts for now to 80, but they are entering down the nether regions until there's room above, most surprisingly led by Jonathan King's p*sstake of Heavy Metal via a cover of Sugar Sugar, which sounds OK actually. Rosetta I rather like, but Fame & Price Together, I'm sorry, were never as good as Fame & Price solo, as both produced some great stuff leading up to this merger. Invictus act Honey Cone drops by with Want Ads, a nice bit of funk, Delaney & Bonnie are back with a quite catchy little number that would shortly become a huge fave of mine - by The New Seekers. John Denver also debuts, with Take Me Home Country Roads, which Olivia Newton-John would cover in the UK long before it was massacred during a pub singalong from The Netherlands in 2001.

30th March 1971

It's 3 weeks on top for Ex-Beatle, as another Ex-Beatle replaced a 3rd Ex-Beatle in my top top and a 4th Ex-Beatle is poised to drop a debut solo single in a couple of weeks. So, did all 4 chart at the same time? Doh! No, John Lennon made a quick exit as Ringo debuts. It'll def happen in my retro charts though. T.Rex peak at 2 with Hot Love, by virtue of not hearing it for another few months, and my love for Another Day lasting decades till Hot Love caught up and overtook it - see my Retro chart.

In Singapore, Glen Campbell was a family fave still, though Dream Baby wasn't quite up to standard, but he did a decent job of the cover of the Roy Orbison song. New in at 16. Funny Funny is another one I wouldn't hear for a few months, so from my point of view the first Sweet single I heard was Alexander Graham Bell, so 18 is fair enough. Double Barrel, ditto, I didn't hear it till the Xmas run-down so for me it's the follow-up to big fave Monkey Spanner. I did love it right off the bat, though. In at 20 for the unusual fab reggae track.

In the USA the final episode of The Virginian was broadcast, the good James Drury western series - but it would turn up still on UK TV until the revamp (The Men From Shiloh, extended episodes and rotating lead actors) took over in 1972. One of the great TV theme tunes too, The Virginian. Not too far away from us, the shitshow that followed East Pakistan declaring independence as Bangladesh triggered violence, intolerance and other politically and religiously-based intolerance which would rattle on through the year.

Unknown to me at the time Nathan Fillion was also born this week, Firefly fave 30-odd years into the future. The final Ed Sullivan Show was broadcast in the States, though we were still watching them in Singapore, running behind somewhat. As we pushed on towards Easter school term was drawing to a close, with only one left to go before we started to pack stuff up and get ready to leave. I didn't want to leave, the tropical climate and culture suited me. Though I was looking forward to the pop music & TV, and the food.
