Strange this is that Norman Greenbaum was Jewish and even relatively observant. His children were brought up Jewish. He only made this song about Jesus because he thought it would sound good commercially. As they say, business is business...

28th February 1970

It's a new entry at 1 for The Beatles - not for the first time, probably not for the last time - as their farewell UK single Let It Be arrives ahead of the album recorded during the difficult break-up before Abbey Road. It's one of Paul's best songs, even he was generally unhappy with the Phil Spector strings on some tracks, and gives the fabs a 42nd chart entry in their 4th year of charting, and their 8th number 1. Singer-songwriter with the smooth voice, James Taylor is busy pushing his new album at the moment, but 50 years ago his then-newish album was out with the classic track Fire And Rain about ready for release as a single, good enough reason for me to enter it at 24 - certainly a song I was aware of in 1970.

The Jackson 5 get a second top 40 track as they also enter with their 2nd single and third chart entry ABC at 63 - basically I Want You Back part 2 and my least fave of their first 6 singles, though Sigala did a good revamp a few years back. In retrospect it still sounds fresh-ish and energetic. As a staple of US variety TV shows at the time, I did get to see the boys perform on Singapore showings of The Ed Sullivan Show and others like the cool Flip Wilson Show and the fab Andy Williams Show. "Can I have a cookie?" Cue man in a bear suit. You had to be there....

In at 65, Joni Mitchell gets the first of 2 from her brand new album this week 50 years ago - it's Big Yellow Taxi, much covered and very very much an early description of Planet Earth in the 21st Century, as her album track Woodstock (and soon to be covered) the ode to the famous hippy festival pops in at 74. Tyrone Davis gets another chart entry, and The Five Stairsteps return with their 6th chart entry O-o-h Child, originally B side to the poor cover of Dear Prudence, the future hit for Dino in the 80's, and covers by The Detroit Spinners, Nina Simone, Dusty Springfield, Mary Wilson, Hall & Oates, among many others, and a sample by Janet Jackson give a clue to the regard it's held in. Not bad for a B side.
