I loved this retro chart thread. Is this going to be a regular thing?

[rubcale]

David Soul was a well deserved #1

[rubcale]

Jihnny Mathis. Oh dear - cringe inducing

[rubcale]

Abba - widwlt expected to be a #1. Not one of my favs by them.

[rubcale]

Showaddywaddy. Good for a bit of fun.

[rubcale]

Barry Biggs No appeal for me.

[rubcale]

10 CC Pap

[rubcale]

Julie Covington Well worth it's #1 placing

[rubcale]

Tina Charles Made some great pop records

[Earl Purple]

"Everybody's going to the party, it's grandma's party tonight".

[rubcale]

I actually quite enjoyed Mike Oldfield

[rubcale]

Enjpyed Smokie's saucy remake more!

[rubcale]

Staus Quo - always guarantedd to make good pop/rock records

[rubcale]

Paul Nicholas Ugh

[Earl Purple]

Stevie Wonder was in the chart with "I Wish" from the album "Songs In The Key Of Life". The record company didn't want to release the far superior Isn't She Lovely so instead David Parton (no relation to Dolly) released his cover version instead.

Lorna, you were only just born when these were out so I doubt you'd remember them.

[Chris]

Radio 2 have done a 70's chart for 4 consecutive weeks! It's 1983 on Sunday though.They caught me out on Sun as it started at 3 instead of 3.30 so missed the first half-hour.I was 17 so remember every one!!
