Intrigued why people are charting the Allman Brothers - Jessica? Obviously I like it, but it wasn't a hit here and was a hit in the US in December 73 It peaked on the US chart last week at #65, and dropped to #67 this week. For records that weren't British hits, I chart them while they are on the Billboard list.

My charts are based on global release dates for anything at all just like my current charts for 2024 - but I also include my original charts from 1974 for info as they were exactly what I heard and liked at the time, regardless of what was in the UK charts. By then I was 16 and annoyed at stuff that wasn't getting to make the charts and a lot of MOR that that was charting

The stand out song from the eighth studio album by the British-American rock band, was written and sung by guitarist/singer Bob Welch. Whilst this was not a hit it became a FM radio staple, as it's dreamy Californian mellow sound was a template for their later blockbusting Buckingham/Nicks led line-up's success.

12th February 1974
It's back up one place for a second week on top for The Hollies and the fab Air That I Breathe, with abrand new Philly disco breakthrough for The Three Degrees, on their 3rd retro chart entry, the fab Gamble & Huff Year Of Decision new in at 3. The new Supremes for the 70's basically. K.C. is up to 5, the first of many to do that no doubt, and bang in at 6 the movie of 1974, give or take the odd James Bond or Disaster movie, Blazing Saddles also being the movie theme of the year, forget The Sting, The Way We Were and even The Man With The Golden Gun - it's veteran Frankie Laine poker-faced belting out a 50's styled Western theme unaware it was a p*sstake, and a very naughty one at that. Brilliant.
Bowie drops his next musical morph at 17, and it's a Mick Ronson wicked riff, Rebel Rebel not a fave of mine at the time - the sudden style change was grating, much more Rolling Stones than Glam, but oddly I had no problem with Plastic Soul a year later, where most Bowie fans went apoplectic. It's a great single though. Barry White keeps pumping 'em out, his 4th on the rundown, with solo Honey Please Can't Ya See, a UK flop but I always liked it, new in at 46, while Sunny (of The Pearls, original Brotherhood Of Man, and backing singer for (deep breath) Dusty, Elton, Love Affair, Lulu, Mott The Hoople, Bowie, T.Rex, Tom Jones, Joe Cocker - see With A Little Help From My Friends - and 60's teen singer, Eurovision stage support to Lulu, and several other acts over the years into the 80's) finally egst a solo hit single with Doctor's Orders at 51.
The Staple Singers are back for a 5th or 6th time with a good track I didn't know before today, Touch A Hand at 60, Carpenters dip into Hank Williams' Jambalaya territory as they go off the boil a bit for me, at 70, Opportunity Knocks comedian Freddie Starr has a UK hit with It's You, a bit maudlin, but my Aunty Norma loves it, so I bunged it on a CD for her last year - not available anywhere to buy! She went to see him back in the day, and he was lead singer of 60's band The Midniters before he started making headlines "eating hamsters" and that sort of tat. Great at imitations of Elvis and the like in those days though.
Junior Walker returns for probably the last time with another sax-driven soul track new to me, and Ricky Wilde returns with another dad-created pre-teen track kiddie-pop oriented, Mrs. Malinski, which I liked at the time on one hearing, charted, and then never heard again for 50 years until today. It's OK, but a way better track is on the way!

My charts that week actual then
Mud climb to the top for the 3rd consecutive single (with Crazy peaking at 2 before that), that famous (in the UK) party classic that lads for once didn’t mind copying a dance to. Great stuff! Clifford and Hollies go Top 10, Todd Top 5, Aretha Top 20 and new entries: from Ringo Starr, covering a 50’s teen pop ballad to fun effect and a US Number One; Love Unlimited Orchestra, or the backing to soul girl group Love Unlimited, or Barry White essentially doing a gorgeous strings-based orchestral soul instrumental that also topped the US charts. I think it’s fairly clear that the American record buyer was doing a better job than the British singles buyer at this time, at least in terms of chart positions. Elsewhere a trio of worldwide flop singles (boo!) from The Tremeloes, now well out of step with the music scene, Neil Sedaka (not that he cared much given what happened next in his career) and Joni Mitchell (who was an albums artist anyway) and her fab Raised On Robbery.

I wasn't following the US charts in 1974, so I'll stick to the UK charts for now...
