The Salisbury, Wiltshire born David John Harman, first solo single after his 1960s successful group had split. This orchestral pop release peaked at UK #42, and after five further non charting singles he become far more successful as the UK Head of A&R for WEA personally being responsible for signing AC/DC, Boney M and Gary Numan ... Perhaps more importantly he helped set up and run the UK music industry charity Nordoff-Robbins. He died of prostrate cancer in 2009 aged 67.

7th March 1970

It's 2 weeks on top for The Beatles letting it be as I have to expand my charts to 80 due to the new stuff I like exceeding the old stuff exiting my charts. Stevie Wonder gets another top 10, he's had quite the run of them since 1967 chart-topper I Was Made To Love Her, and James Taylor gets his first with Fire And Rain (and possibly his last too!), easily his best track. Highest new entry is a reggae cover of the Nina Simone minor entry, Bob & Marcia's version is the definitive though, still fab and in at 16. I didn't know it at the time, but by 1974 it had been reissued and bubbled under the charts and made my top 5 that year.

Blue Mink start getting into their stride, Good Morning Freedom kick-starting a great run of singles - Melting Pot never did it for me, but this one I was aware of by the mid-70's as I'd become big on them in 1971. In at 33. Van Morrison returns with Moondance, at 55, The Four Tops 60's Motown classic is UK reissued and charts at 57 - the first version I knew was Donnie Elbert's fabulous cover in 1972, which hit 2 in my charts, still the definitive version for me, but y'know, The Four Tops, always fab. 

The bottom 11 are all new: The Trems back with a decent song I don't recall hearing, Gene Pitney still charting with another I don't know well, The Guess Who double A side charting separately, The Cuff Links replacing The Archies new single in my list (Ron Dante both), Charlie Rich debuting with a Billy Sherrill song (previously Stand By Your Man and many others to come), Cornerstone taking my fancy with a Toni Wine song (she was on Sugar Sugar as singer of "I'm gonna make your life so sweet", wrote Groovy Kind Of Love, Candida and others), while Joe South, Bill Deal & Jerry Butler all add to their run of chart entries with tracks I've never heard before in my life. Of the bottom 11 the only one I knew already was American Woman.
