21st August 1971

It's 2 weeks on top for Hot Chocolate and the fab I Believe (In Love), I love the melody and the percussion-heavy shuffling soul sounds that were unique to Errol & the lads in their early days. Holly Sherwood takes Godspell into the top 10, and highest new entry is from Alexis Korner's band on their 3rd and best single, Tap Turns On The Water, which was delightfully naughty with a storming Horn section riffing throughout, and was one of the batch of singles I got for Xmas. In at 18. New at 36, Danyel Gerard's former French-Language European hit, dating back to 1969 in various ongoing versions for each territory/nation/language finally found it's best version, with new English-language lyrics following an Australian cover version hit, and re-recorded in the same style for the UK singles market after hitting in Aus. Avoid all the other versions, this one is the bees-knees - when an earlier version was bunged on on Arcade hits album I was mightily disappointed! Still am.

Other new entries: The Beach Boys Surf's Up album is out and the song of the same name enters, it's lovely, classy and brim-filled with the harmonies you'd expect. I bought it a few years back, still sounds good. Dave Edmunds enters with a cover I've never heard, Blue Monday is I Hear You Knocking Part 2, stylistically, and rather good. England Dan & John Ford Coley will be charting over the next few years, so it's a bit of a bonus to hear an early rockier sound on New Jersey, which is also pretty good. I've never heard of The Searchers Desdemona, either, and it's pretty decent for the 60's faves, who's top tune for me was always Don't Throw Your Love Away when I was a kiddie 7 years earlier. Music loves stay with me! Always have. Finally, The Main Ingredient chuck out a social commentary track I'd never heard, quite powerful, and still relevant lyrics.

24th August 1971 My charts Then

It's 3 New Seekers weeks on top as Diana Ross rises to 2, ready to be number one on the BBC UK charts on Top Of The Pops in just over a week or two when I see my first show in 2 years. The Fortunes get a first top 10 since You've Got Your Troubles would have topped my kiddie charts in 1965, if I'd been charting then, and Carole King ditto, except it would have been It Might As Well Rain Until September and 2 or 3 years earlier. I'm very loyal to pop stars I love! Carpenters make it a 3rd top 10 in 12 months, and Curved Air bring Prog Rock into my charts with Back Street Luv, and Family and George Harrison take advantage of a very quiet chart week to sneak in with tracks I was never that fond of actually - Family have failed to make my Retro revamp charts, and George peaked at 76, which is much more like it.

In Singapore, our last week as a family in our bungalow with the high roof and chit-chats, so we made the most of RAF Changi Swimming Pool and beach, and said a very sad goodbye to our Amah, who's family came to pick up my fish tank (I hated saying goodbye to the tropical fish) and anything else we weren't taking home with us. I was sad to be leaving, and we said cheerio too this week to our great friends The Wainwrights, who we wouldn't see again for just over 2 years. I still hate goodbyes, I don't like things to end unless they are unpleasant things. In this case, it was worse, because the UK Forces were pulling out, and it was a literal end of an era, as well as a personal one.
