Whilst the top of the chart remains strong there seems to be a crisis near the bottom with a shortage of new ones and we see a couple of songs that were heading downward either stay where they are or even go back up a bit.

30th June 1973

It's a first Retro number one for Yvonne Elliman, finally getting the top spot with the same song she took to 2 in the stage version of Jesus Christ Superstar. She's also got 3 of the top 5, a female first, and only Don Downing is preventing a complete top 5 for the Movie version of the Rice & Lloyd-Webber musical, still not out in the UK. The Isley Brothers get their first top 10 with new material - all previous ones being 60's reissues - and That Lady is the track that turned around their career in the UK. Hot Chocolate meanwhile make it a 5th top 10.

The Osmonds drop their new album in the USA, and the best track on it is the ballad Let Me In, so we wave bye to Goin' Home from the 40 as the next single enters early at 15. In fact the entire top 10 is looking like it's October not June, as only 3 of them are in the current UK chart for this week in 1973. Even earlier, though, are Blue Swede - albeit known in Sweden as Bjorn Skifs & Blablues - as they copy Jonathan King's Ooga-chagga cover of Hooked On A Feeling, but with added oomph and vocal strength, and destined to be huge in the USA by early 1974, and then over 40 years later get a key feature in the first Guardians Of The Galaxy film.

Down the lower end there's a mini-invasion of familiar tracks of the time - The Drifters reviving their UK career with a first actual new, UK-based, hit, Like Sister And Brother; Dawn's ragtime follow-up to the monster Tie A Yellow Ribbon (the not-monster Sweet Gypsy Rose); CCS' final hit, The Band Played The Boogie; Marvin Gaye's future flop landmark legal case (Let's Get It On, which I never rated that much, nor any record that sounds a bit like it. Hi Ed!); Donny Osmond's huge Tab Hunter cover, Young Love. Tab Hunter was more photogenic than Donny's puberty-breaking era, but his version is slightly better. That leaves only Olivia's US breakthrough and UK flop Let Me Be There.

None of the rest of the newies was known to me at the time, I've just tried them out and quite like what I hear, so Sylvia gets a second on the chart, Sly & The Family Stone extend their Retro chart run to 5 years, Ronnie Dyson grabs a 4th retro entry with a future hit song in the UK in 2 different versions, Just Don't Want To Be Lonely, his version is pretty fine though, Earth, Wind & Fire debut with Evil - 2 years ahead of their Shining Star debut in my actual charts of the time, and 4 years ahead of their UK hit debut Saturday Night.

My charts of the time 30th June 1973

It's 9 weeks on top the unstoppable Wizzard, the biggest new challenge is from David Bowie who was so popular a classic album track from late 1971 is issued as a single, Life On Mars bangs in at 3 and is very classic-sounding in an epic ballad sort of way, and of course anything sci-fi/planet related would appeal to me. Slade can;t be ruled out though as they get a 7th consecutive top 10 as Skweeze Me Pleeze Me hits 5. Barry White gets a first solo top 10, at least with me, it didnt even go top 20 in the UK charts.

Joe Simon debuts with Step By Step, bigger in the UK than the US suddenly after years of little success in the UK and a fair bit in the US, new at 16, while Sylvia's lush soul naughtiness, Pillow Talk, on her own label, and the only black female to get into the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame for masterminding a key soul/disco/rap label, All Platinum. Todd Rundgren also finally gets a UK chart hit after being out in the US in January 1972, and his brilliant I Saw The Light in at 24.
