[Earl Purple]

I probably should have charted "It's Too Late" on its own when it got to #1 and then "I Feel The Earth Move" later when it charted in the UK but I charted them together (at #1) and only put "It's Too Late" when I submitted the chart here so it wouldn't get split.

In any case, Rod Stewart looks a certain combi-chart number one. I don't know how he'll do in general in combi-charts but would expect Maggie May to get to #1 as it does indeed in my chart

Maggie May prevails over "If You Really Love Me" albeit that should have been a good enough Stevie Wonder song for round 4 of Haven Factor and is better than anything Steps have ever done, and if anyone does enter Rod Stewart they won't go out on a round they play Maggie May.

In my chart however "I Don't Want To Talk About It" spent 3 weeks at #2 in 1977 behind "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder (which is also a far better song than Lose Yourself by Eminem).

Maggie May went top 5 for me when the album came out in the retro charts, but I wasn't a huge fan back in 1971 - but it eventually topped my charts as an oldie reisssue when I realised the error of my ways If You Really Love Me was also not one of my fave Stevie songs either in retro or my actual charts of the time. I like them both, but preferred I Was Made To Love Her, My Cherie Amour and other oldies, and slightly later Rod stuff like You Wear It Well, Farewell, Oh No Not My Baby

28th August 1971

It's a 3rd week at 1 for Hot Chocolate and a static top 10, bar Focus getting a first top 10, with Hocus Pocus, mad but great fun and rifftastic. That leaves just 4 new entries, The Fortunes getting a 2nd of the year, the jolly Freedom Come, Freedom Go - I still prefer the US hit to the UK hit, the melody is way better, but the UK opted for this one, hey ho, in at 43. At 47, The Osmonds are back for a 4th chart hit, while lil brother Donny is up to 12. Yo-Yo is the riff from Day Tripper, adapted to a bunch of teens who were clearly inspired by The Temptations in the dance routine they did on the Flip Wilson Show (worth checking them out, it's great) and heading for a rockier sound away from the Jackson 5-lite One Bad Apple. New at 47.

Down t'bottom end of the chart, Rock Candy (who?!) debut with song with a tune that's familiar, but a record that isn't - the label suggests Chip Hawke (Tremeloes) and Howard Blaikely (songwriter for Tremeloes/Dave Dee Dozy etc) had some input, I'd guess English lyrics over a European hit tune. This was going on a lot in 1971! Also new, Jimmy Ruffin with his usual Motown styled soul cuts of the time. That's a good thing.

Wot I liked then 31st August 1971

It's straight in at number one for a record I would become instantly mad on in a couple of weeks, Hot Chocolate getting a 3rd chart entry and a first chart-topper. This day was our last day as a family in Singapore, and we moved out the house all our belongings given away, at least those that hadn't been packed and shipped, packed for dad to use as he moved onto RAF Changi's single quarters, and us to carry on the plane as hand luggage. All that was left was to be bussed to RAF Changi Airport for the flight home on the 1st September. I wasn't excited to be going home, I was sad to be leaving a place I thought I'd never see again, and I still wished we'd stayed until dad's posting ended in December. We had to get back for school, but really I would have missed nothing much....except seeing our families a bit later than we did, and me dropping into a fantastic music scene that I would mostly have missed out on.

Hot Chocolate was the record I wrote to dad to buy me, Shirley Bassey, in at 20 with For All We Know, was the consolation record he bought me after he couldn't find a copy of I Believe (In Love). The Carpenters cover was very nice - but it wasn't Hot Chocolate - I got it for Xmas though, so all's well. I still love it to bits and it deserves to be known. I'd say "better known" but the only people who know are those who lied it at the time or who bought the Greatest Hits albums. Paul & Linda's wrong-choice single pops in briefly - the monster track was Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, the US chart-topper. Mum's faves Nancy & Lee pop in with a naughty country cover, Did You Ever is great fun. The Supremes Nathan Jones is the record I asked for, but the record shop didn't have it in stock for my Xmas stocking, it's still fabulous. Gilbert gets a 2nd chart entry - just - We Will was quite nice but better was to come.
