Shawn Christopher 'Don't Lose The Magic'. Piano house, people dancing in cages and topless men gyrating. What is not to like here?

Hammer 'Do Not Pass Me By' is a blend of gospel and rap. Fair to say not his most memorable hit record, but the gospel bits are actually pretty good.

Or completely forgotten in this example. Had this on CD single (from a bargain bin) for this band who were nearly almost remotely popular for one hot millisecond. But somehow popped into my head earlier...

I may have posted this one before but there's 35 pages to read through..! Voyager - Halfway Hotel
It only made number 33 at the time, back in June 1979. As did this other great song from the time, a number 40 hit in the same week both records were in the top 40:
After The Fire - One Rule For You

No idea why this song popped in my head today - a 1999 cover of an early 90's Stock Aitken Waterman song by Boy Krazy that made the top 20 in the US but failed to chart over here.
This version got to #44.
While trying to find it, I found out that one of them is now married to Robbie's best mate, Jonathan Wilkes, who also failed to make a pop career with this two years later.
It was supposed to go top ten but stalled at #24 and he got dropped not long after.

Unsurprisingly I owned both versions of “That’s What Love Can Do”.

Nomad 'Just A Groove' was a top twenty hit but nowhere near as big as 'I Wanna Give You Devotion'.

I much preferred Just A Groove. Was never a huge fan of Devotion.

Blair 'Have Fun Go Mad' was a minor hit in 1995.

Tweenies 'Have Fun Go Mad' brought the original version bang up to date in 2002 and was a bigger hit than the original version.

Did an experiment. Went to the OCC website and clicked on the things to get to a random date in the 1960s. It landed on 7 April 1966 and I then went down the chart to see the first record I didn't recognize.
It was this one.
Two places lower was Val Doonican's version. Both Lind and Val would peak at 5, as Bob had in the States. They might have cost each other a no. 1. In Ireland, Bob's version missed the charts in toto, but Val got to 3. Bob Lind at least could claim all the songwriting royalties, given he wrote it. But it was his only top 40 on either side of the Atlantic.
