The 7 minute plus rock classic taken from the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs was inspired by a love story that originated as a poem The Story of Layla and Majnun in 5th-Century Iran, which his good friend George Harrison told Eric Clapton about. Unfortunately the former Cream guitarist was falling in love with the former Beatles wife, Patti Boyd. Originally a Eric Clapton ballad until Duane Allman came up with the rocking guitar riff (in addition to Jim Gordon's piano coda). This song originally failed to chart in the UK despite Radio 1 DJ Johnny Walker making it his record of the week, and peaked at USA #51, but it became an English language #1 hit in Japan. Its 1972 reissue saw it hit new peaks of USA #10 & UK #7, and top the chart in France, and hit #2 in Australia & New Zealand. Then a 1982 reissue saw it establish UK & Irish #4 peaks.

3rd April 1971

It's a whopping 6 weeks on top for Hot Love as The Jackson 5 are still runners-up with the sweetly sad Never Can Say Goodbye at 2 with nothing much happening at the top end, bar Stevie Wonder grabbing his first since Never Had A Dream Come True, and 5th in total. R. Dean Taylor is the highest new entry at 27 as Gotta See Jane finally charts in the USA 3 years after being a UK hit, and topping my retro charts. I don't normally re-chart retro tracks that have already charted, but this is such a great record.

Carly Simon debuts with her US smash That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be, one I have heard but am not that familiar with, and it's very nice too, getting her 20-year-span of hits (more or less) off to a start, while a lesser Cliff track gives him 2 on the list - where I knew and loved Sunny Honey Girl at the time, I was only really aware of Silvery Rain by reference and one or two plays over 50 years. I like it though.

The Strawbs also debut with a flop single Witchwood - apparently it flopped because the single-pressing quality was shoddy and it was withdrawn. That's a shame, cos it's rather nice in a gentle folky fashion, and nothing like their later tracks from 1972/73. Garland Green brings some nice Philly-style soul into the lower end, and Michael Nesmith gets his 3rd post-Monkees chart entry, and it's still 6 years to go till the fab Rio, where he started his video-experimenting ahead of a little thing he was involved in called MTV.

Wot I Loved Then..

6th April 1971

It's still Macca on top, keeping off T.Rex back in the day. It's telling that big pop ditties I was a fab of at 13, like Jack In A Box, Ray Stevens, and others havent done as well 50 years later in my rankings. I'm fond of them, still, but hey tastes change over time! CCR go top 10 and get their biggest track since Bad Moon Rising, The Fantastics enter with one I taped off the local Singapore radio, as does the classical revamp of Mozart from Waldo De Los Rios which I liked even more. Diana Ross' Remember Me was one I didn't hear till later in the year , and in comparison to I'm Still Waiting it was a bit lacklustre at the time. It grew on me though.

Olivia Newton-John debuts a few months ahead of me seeing her debut movie Toomorrow, all cheesy flying saucers, aliens and 60's pop group fun, and she manages to turn a Bob Dylan vocal into something sweet and charming. As Livvy was, and has remained, to be honest.
