This USA #2 (R&B #1) & UK #14 cover version of the 1961 Ben E King hit written by Jerry Leiber and Phil Spector.

[popchartfreak]

31st July 1971

It's straight in at 1 for the lead track off the newly-charting Isaac Hayes soundtrack album to the blockbuster hit movie Shaft, the lead single theme song being a stroke of genius ahead of its time, as was the concept that a film with a largely black cast could be box office. Shirley Bassey goes where the Carpenters have already been, top ten with For All You Know, and Aretha gets another top 10 with her wonderful version of Spanish Harlem. New in at 20 is the very Santana-sounding instrumental Sultana by Titanic, it's fab and out in the UK.

Out in the USA it's Holly Sherwood's medley version of Day By Day from Godspell, new at 25 6 months ahead of it's UK chart debut, while charting in Holland it's Focus with their mostly instrumental Hocus Pocus 18 months ahead of it's UK chart debut, in at 62. Also new, at 65, The Yamasukis return with a track off the new concept album as Yamasuki is charting in Belgium and France - this song is labelled Aieaoa, but the Daft Punk dad song is better known as A.I.E (A Mwana) which was a European hit for Black Blood in 1975, and was also Bananarama's debut single in 1981, and was the 2010 Fifa song in a version by Safri Duo. I've charted all the versions with the original popping in here. 

At 73, The Persuaders soul classic, and future Pretenders cover minor hit, the lovely Thin Line Between Love And Hate debuts, Ray Stevens has a self-written gospel-flavoured ballad with All My Trials, The Partridge Family keep the chart entries coming, Engelbert drops by with his new lush effort, Anne Murray jauntily pops in, and George Harrison seriously calls in with Bangladesh.
