Never mind Canned Heat, at the same time the original version by Wilbert Harrison recorded around 1962 also reached the US top 40. So I'm not charting Canned Heat's version. But I will chart Bryan Ferry's cover as it is just so good...

But there's no video for it, other than audios and graphics so I'll post my highest entry.

17th January 1970

It's a 3rd week on top for Edison Lighthouse as Jimmy Cliff gospels it up to 2, challenged closely by Glen Campbell's great version of Both Sides Now, and as his Honey Come Back also goes top 10. The Archies hip theme tune Get On The Line leaps to 10, their 3rd top 10, and Chairmen Of The Board, currently featuring in an advert, jump up 18 to 12. The highest new entry, Who'll Stop The Rain?, is a track I first heard on Married: With Children, when Al Bundy sings along to it - and one I instantly preferred to Creedence's other track on the double A-side, Travelin' Band which I got to hear in 1975 for the first time. Basically a rock revival-style tune not entirely unlike The Move's later California Man. 

Some nice top climbers for Boris Gardiner, Kenny Rogers, Robin Gibb, Steam and The Temptations, and more newies lower down from Stevie Wonder - the fab Never Had A Dream Come True - at a time when his singles were big UK hits and minor US hits. Go figure! The Originals are back, this time with The Bells ringing them in at 64, Mama Cass keeps the hits coming too with New World Coming at 70, I have a bit of Time for another Edwin Starr entry at 71, The Contours 1966 track debuts, Frijid Pink have a go at going OTT Progrock on House Of The Rising Sun, and Jethro Tull return with some Witch's Promise. Cue the flutes.....
