Reggae also-ran David Isaacs (1946-2009) teamed up with Lee Scratch Perry to record this Stevie Wonder cover. It bubbled under very briefly in the UK. But I find it rather charming.

9th February 1969


It's a first week on top for the classic Where Do You Go To, Peter Sartedt's only chart-topper, just holding off the highest new entry from The Righteous Brothers, their 1965 classic Phil Spector UK chart-topper, while the 2nd highest is also a Phil Spector epic production for Ike & Tina Turner at 16, which peaked at 2 in 1966 in the UK - and stiffed in the US, shockingly. My mum absolutely loved You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling (and still does) at the time, and I liked it too. As the years went by, like turned to love, then adore, then worship. It's one of the greatest records of all-time no question, no male duo vocal performance can get even close to Bobby Hatfield & Bill Medley's battling, and the production is perfect. Contrast with Cilla's pleasant hit version, and just see the difference. Cilla gets the highest new entry by way of compensation with Surround Yourself With Sorrow, a record I liked even more than The Righteous Brothers at the time.

Nazz go top 10 5 years ahead of Todd Rundgren's version going top 5, Nina Simone goes top 10 31 years ahead of Sonique's big hit version, River Deep goes top 20 2 years ahead of the Supremes and Four Tops cover, & The Banana Splits go top 30, as the first TV group enter with Teardrop City, The Monkees being down to 3 at this time, as Peter Tork had left the building for the first in a still-continuing rotating membership - The last Monkees album came out at Christmas 2018 with contributions from the surviving 3 members, but they usually feature an old Davy track revamped. Still love 'em. Seen them 2 or 3 times, always brings tears of joyful nostalgia to my eye.

Sandie Shaw was a huge childhood fave, still is, but she never liked Monsieur Dupont and it was generally excluded from hits collections, which annoyed me cos I loved it way back when. 50 years later, I can see why she isn't over-fond, it's a bit twee with those backing girlie la-la's, but still I have affection for it's dated charm. Jerry Butler gets a 3rd entry with a song covered by Billy Paul 4 or 5 years on, while Curtis Mayfield's band keeps them coming at a frantic pace, always classy.
