Otis Redding was just 26 years old. On 10 December 1967 he, along with members of the Bar-Kays were killed in a plane crash. We can only imagine all the great music that was lost to us as a result.



This is actually a great week for new entries. Louis Armstrong, for example, is 66 at the time of his entry. (He will actually only live 3 more years, but we don't know that at this point).

I'm 4 weeks away from charting this. Madeline Bell is better known in the UK as the female member of Blue Mink. I had no idea she had done the original of this song until I came across it.

3rd february 1968

It's a first week on top for the then-recently-late Otis Redding's classic, talk about going out on top. One that popped "back" into my charts in 1974 and again topping in the 21st Century - actually 1974 was it's debut as I didn't start my actual charting till later in 1968 and these are what I like now. I will post a comparison chart when I get to my actual UK-top-30-based-only charts versus what I like now - I'm enjoying discovering stuff new to me and seeing how my tastes have changed with age.

In at 9, highest new entry is the loveable Louis Armstrong and his optimistic sentimental heart-tugger. It actually works best when shown against images of what a horrible world it can be thanks to Man. A big leap for The Delfonics, much more cult these days than in those days, and the chirpy melodic Cowsills is one I would have gone mad on as a kiddie, had I ever heard it. Reparata's ship leaps into the 30, as befits one I actually WAS mad on (but then I was rather mad on lots of pop songs), and Madeline Bell's I'm Gonna Make You Love Me enters at 34, I didn't know the song till the Diana & co version, but I picked it up on a "1968 Chartbusters" LP around 1976 along with some other fab tracks still to chart. I love Madeline and Blue Mink, very under-rated.

The Fire Brigade brings teenage hero Roy Wood back into the charts, and Don Partridge was huge for 12 months on TV at the time, debuting with Rosie. Sandie Shaw is back again, ditto The Monkees with a Nilsson song, Gladys Knight, & Curtis Mayfield aka The Impressions doing an early Move On Up hook. Leonard Cohen sneaks in, he last charted with new material last year, pretty much 50 years give or take with whole decades missed out (70's) and covers in between. The Pretty Things pop in with an obscurity, after the buzz had gone, but it's good.
