7th July 1973

It's a 4th Retro chart-topper for Hot Chocolate with the relatively unknown lush dark funk of Rumours, you can't even find the real lyrics on the interweb, but the mysterious political and social sentiment applies in spades these days, if anything, so full marks for ongoing relevance. Just behind at 2 is The Osmonds' second-biggest retro hit, equal with One Bad Apple and behind the chart-topping Crazy Horses. I started to go off The Osmonds as a band with Let Me In - but it's a fine ballad actually. Aretha Franklin keeps up the charting for a 7th year, Angel being one of her lovelier ballads, never fails to emote perfectly. Blue Mink make it 3 top 10's in a row and 6 in all, as Randy climbs back up to a new peak.

Banging in at 14, it's Glitter's closing anthem at any of his gigs, and a real crowd singalong - I'm The Leader Of The Gang was a bit too laddish to match up to the early singles for me, but my younger brother was a fan, and it's still got that monster sound. New at 14. In a very quiet week for new tracks, The Goons' mid-50's UK smash record is back following their TV special The Last Goon Show Of All. My dad bought the Ying Tong Song on 78rpm when he was a teenager, and my grandad hated it so much he smashed it to pieces. He didn't go for Ying Tong second time round, Al Martino's Spanish Eyes and Wink Martindale's Deck Of Cards were the 1973 singles of choice, and neither did I buy it. Amusing once, it drives you mad on repeat listens. Judee Sill died in 1979, and never achieved success, but The Kiss was a nice BBC2 Whistle Test feature. That leaves a debut from a little band called Queen. Nobody's ever heard of them again I think! They originally opened their chart account in my charts in 1974 with 2 number ones - I wonder if the Retro version will favour them the same....

7th July 1973 Wot I Liked That Actual Week Then

It's 10 weeks on top for See My baby Jive in it's last week inside the UK top 30, so it def will be outside the top 20 next week and new chart-topper will be happening. David Bowie looks well-placed at 2, his highest chart position to date with Life On Mars, but Chairmen Of The Board get a third top 10 in a row, following on from their chart-topper, and Sylvia is just behind with the sexy Pillow Talk at 7. New at 24, The Osmonds' are Goin' Home, still rocking, and at 28, a relative flop for Blue Mink's Randy - for some reason it just didn't click with me, partly cos Randy meant something else in those days, so it seemed an odd choice of name for a song. 50 years later, though, it's a great pop song.
