So are people charting Cher from the US chart, assume it charts in the UK at some point as well? I just always think it would be hard to find out what was charting in the US in 1971, so I'll stick to the UK charts.

Yes, it's in the US charts, and will be charting in the UK in Nov/Dec (I forget which, but it was before Xmas). There's a link to the Hot 100 in red underneath the UK chart, but it depends how much time you have to play tracks you don't know really I've always wanted to get to hear every track that made the US chart in the 60s and 70s so it's a great excuse for me to dig new entries out each week...!

11th September 1971

It's straight in at 1 for a Moody Blues song as covered by the mighty voice of Levi Stubbs, and the powerful arrangement of A Simple Game, an instant huge chart-topping fave of mine back in the day as the UK charts were about as exciting as I'd found them in the summer of 1969, jam-packed with records I loved. This gives the Tops a 3rd Retro chart-topper, following on from 1967's Bernadette and Walk Away Renee. In at 3, another huge fave, topping my original charts in 1972 first time-round, but out this week in the USA - a Northern Soul stomper from Donnie Elbert as he covers The Supremes Where Did Our Love Go - and improves on it. I love his voice. I still love both of those records and they son't suffer from over-exposure.

Unlike the 3rd new entry. Imagine is a school-singalong anthem these days, enormously famous, and has topped my personal charts many times over the years - but not in 1971. The album was out in the US this week, but it was never a UK single in 1971. And neither was the future UK chart-topper Jealous Guy (for Roxy Music). Consequently I was barely aware of Imagine until the 1975 hit UK release (it hit 2 for me) and then after John's shocking murder, a personal hero to me, it topped my charts in 1980. It's not fresh anymore, so it's only in at 9. It's still a classic, of course, but 46 years of constant plays has had it replaced by lesser-known Lennon solo songs in my affection. It is, though, his 4th Ex-Beatle top 10.

The Bay City Rollers climb into the 20 with Keep On Dancing, and The Elgins get a 2nd oldie hit as Put Yourself In My Place enters at 45, going where The Isley Brothers have been before with the song - but The Elgins recorded it first, and it was put out by Motown as a B side. I prefer the original version, though The Isleys are never not good. At 65, a melodic piece of UK crooner cheese from Vince Hill, Look Around returning Vince to the Retro countdown 4 years on from Edelweiss, both songs from movies, this one from Love Story, following on from Andy Williams' Where Do I Begin.

At 69, a soul0funk classic from The Staple Singers, Express Yourself never being a UK hit it was another track I was unaware of until Bruce Willis had a UK hit with it in 1987. By 1972 I loved The Staple Singers anyway, though. Neil Sedaka was getting a Don Kirshner backed comeback album in the US, which flopped commercially, but set Neil up for a UK-based career revival in 1972 - and 2 tracks from it enter, both are a far cry from his teen-boppy years in the 50's and early 60's, and signal his singer-songwriter era of 72/73. That leaves The Intruders back again with a Gamble/Huff Philly soul cut that I've never heard before. It's Gamble & Huff, though, so it's bound to be good.

14th September 1971 My Charts Of The Time

It's 2 weeks on top for Middle Of The Road, my new fave record as we moved from mum's mum in Liverpool to dad's mum and dad in Clipstone, Mansfield to stay with my grandparents and 15-year-old Aunty Ann, who lived in the Primary School Caretakers House. I got to play Ann's records on the stereogram, and Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep which I'd brought with me from Singapore on the plane. I also got to buy some brand new DC comics from a local newsagents comics rack, Teen Titans one of them, currently big on adult Netflix and kids TV animation. 50 years ahead of my time, me! I also got to watch the Top Of The Pops chart countdown and latest hits, which was fab. I also got to delay going to a new school for another week, so that was fine by me.
