1st May 1971

It's a first week on top for The Supremes 4th number one, putting Mary Wilson one up on Diana Ross, who was absent from Stoned Love and Nathan Jones. It's also the wettest top 20 ever. That's not a comment on the quality or genre of song, it's just that there are 5 rain-related songs in the top 20, The Fortunes getting knocked off the top, Cliff Richard & Bruce Ruffin climbing, and the 2 highest entries both about the wet stuff too: The Doors enter at 8 with their top notch finale, Riders Of The Storm, the epic track off L.A. Woman, fresh out although not a single till late in the year in the UK, and I still remember the TOTP made-up promo they used for the moody masterpiece on the show. T'other one is the Carpenters' 4th US hit in at 19, fresh out and shooting up the Billboard airwaves charts, Rainy Days And Mondays, sadly a UK flop - as were a surprising number of their singles, even some well-known ones.

Barbra Streisand has her 4th Laura Nyro track on my charts inside 6 months, and the last, sadly, as Flim Flam man is another great song choice. The Osmonds return with their official follow-up, Double Lovin', not one I know that well, and it turns out to be pretty good, a little bit One Bad Apple, but slightly more adult. Also in are The Stylistics with some sophisticated smooth soul, and a song written by the wonderful Thom Bell & Linda Creed, Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart), and another Easy Listening flop in the UK, though when Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye covered it in 1974 it finally charted. Freda Payne's back with a good anti-war song I don't know, Tony Christie is also back, and he's not getting away with murder, though he insists he did what he did for his late wife.

Gene Chandler is back again, also, with a decent self-produced smooth soul track, You're A Lady, though he's still got another 8 years to wait for another UK hit follow-up to his early 60's hits. The Rolling Stones have Sticky Fingers this week, so they get a second charting track as the Susan Boyle fave is unzipped off the album by me, and allowed to roam free with some Wild Horses. Isaac hayes does another sultry, sexy, slowed-down cover - this time the still-charting Jackson 5's Never Can Say Goodbye. A sign of a classic song, is it can be done in any genre and still sound great - be it sweet Motown, sexy soul, pumping disco or 80's synth. Finally we have Meatloaf debuting. Yes, I'm as surprised as you, but this week he was bubbling under the Billboard Hot 100 in a rockfunk duet workout with Stoney (whoever she was) - and it's pretty good. He'll be back with Rocky Horror before breaking big with the late Jim Steinman's Bat Out Of Hell in 7 years time.

4th May 1971

It's a second chart-topper for Marmalade in my charts of the time, My Little One following where Reflections Of My Life had already been. The Partridge Family get a second top 10, Keith Michell a one and only, and Hot Chocolate also a 2nd of many many many top 10's. The only new entry is the 5th Jackson 5 single in the UK, give or take a Christmas effort, as Mama's Pearl is in at 18.

In the USA "All In The Family" was about to storm the Emmy's, as their version of "Till Death Us Do Part" brings a new cynical. political sitcom into the mainstream almost a decade after the UK had done the same. I never liked either one as the bigoted abrasive central character was too annoying to bear sitting through, and I don't recall ever laughing at either one either. My taste is still with The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which would remain a fond and highly-regarded sitcom, political in its own quiet way, but a much-more positive and loveable fashion, and the super-wonderful Betty White would go on to win more Emmy's than any other actor (though now equalled) and has been working in TV and movies for over 75 years, and is still sharp, witty and funny at the age of 99. Total legend.
