The song that just misses the chart is not the same song that was covered by Kula Shaker for their hit, I think it may have been the B-side or the B-side of this was covered, I can't recall, there is a link but they're not the same song.

Anyway have a bit of fun with this:

This Tony Visconti produced track of the late singer's flop follow up to "Space Oddity" featured Marc Bolan on lead guitar. The session was apparently memorable for the two "London boys" who shared management and a flat between 1965 & early 1967 for an ugly spat which occurred at the end of the session between the two buddy (& in a couple of years time arch rivals) pop star's partners Angela Barnett & June Bolan resulting in the two friends falling out and not reconciling until both had split from their partners just two months before the T.Rex's frontman's untimely death in 1977. This song was rerecorded for Bowie's 1973 UK #1 album "Aladdin Sane" with a more taut production and Mick Ronson near replicating Bolan's guitar parts.

On 16th March 1970 Tammi Terrell died from the brain tumour that had been discovered 2¹/₂ years previously. In tribute, my three favourite duets with Marvin Gaye return to my personal chart.

21st March 1970

It's 2 weeks on top for Ray Stevens' optimistic gospel, just keeping off the fab reggae of Bob & Marcia at 2. The Supermes go top 10, fellow-Motown acts The Jackson 5 go top 20 and top 30, and Marta Reeves also hits the 20 in a quiet top 20 holding the potential onslaught of dozens of climbers lower down. Big jumps for The Ides Of March, The Beach Boys and BJ Thomas, with new top 40 slots for Joni Mitchell, Dave Clark 5, Dave Dee and Van Morrison, none of them strangers.

New entries are headed by Bowie's The Prettiest Star, a version I don't recall ever hearing, though I knew and loved the song back in '72/'73 from The Old Grey Whistle Test I think and bought the Aladdin Sane album a few years later. Mary Hopkin gets a 4th chart entry on the heels of her hat-trick of chart-toppers, but it's much more modest for her Eurovision song at 54. The Pipkins pop in with the ragtime novelty Gimme Dat Ding. Who dey? Well, Albert Hammond/ Mike Hazlewood wrote it obviously inspired by their Little Arrows success (among others) and they drafted in Tony Burrows (who else at this time!?) and Roger Greenaway, he of David and Jonathan and a million fab songs with Blue Mink's Roger Cook (who go up to 17 this week). His chart-topping songs for me? You've Got Your Troubles, Home Lovin' Man, I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing, Lovers Of The World Unite, Softly Whispering I Love You, Way Of Life, The Banner Man. All involved creatively would go on to better things then!

Eddie Holman knocks his own track out the list with both sides of his new single, one a song I don;t know, t'other a 50's classic doo-wop Since I Don't Have You, which would go on to chart for Guns 'n' Roses, Art Garfunkel, and best of all Don McLean. The Gentrys cover Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl with a complete musical change of direction, it's pretty rock-cool for a bubblegum-rock band with the previous still charting. The Bee Gees (minus Robin, who is elsewhere on the list) return with I.O.I.O. and a latin-jazz-rock instrumental sneaks in for El Chicano, and Tony Joe White has another Deep South swamp-blues story-song on the list.
