As Elvis Presley gets the highest entry in the UK chart with "The Wonder Of You" which will go to #1 it has fallen this week to #35 having entered a few weeks ago and peaked at #6.

A song that Elvis would later have a UK hit with is my highest new entry for B.J. Thomas

4th July 1970

It's 2 weeks on top for Anne Murray in a static top 4, with War up to 5 for Edwin Starr, and the highest new entry in at 9 for Marmalade, Rainbow very much in the groove of Reflections Of My Life and the bubblegum pop now a thing of the past as Junior Campbell got more involved in songwriting 2 years ahead of his solo career. Actually at this stage they were still The Marmalade but it just sounds wrong when you've known them as Marmalade for 48 years, though not as wrong as The Gaylords, an earlier incarnation with a name that wouldn't have sounded so good on Top Of The Pops. The good B side also enters lower down, at 71 for Ballad Of Cherry Flavar.

New in at 12, it's a brand new band name for Tony Orlando getting his second-wind in his career, after early 60's solo success, and previous chart entries here solo and with Wind (Groovin' With Mr Bloe), and big Singapore-era fave of mine at the time Dawn's Candida, a great pop song with an unfortunate title for those with an aversion to fungal skin infections. A bit like having a love called Chlamydia, sounds great till you realise...

Junior Walker keeps his run of top 20's going, Neil Diamond has a big climb with Solitary Man into the 30, as does Lord Creator with his fab Kingston Town. Warm Earth enter at 42 with a totally kicking funkrock version of The Temptations I Know I'm Losing You, as Motown labelmates it must have had their approval, and it has mine. Clarence Carter enters with his tale of personal tragedy Patches, sung earnestly, and which teeters on the edge of parody it's so depressing, but just avoids tipping over. At 56, another banging discovery for me, Ten Wheel Drive with a belting vocal from Genya Ravan. Yup, neither of them have ever been heard of before this week. 

Chicago's 25 or 6 To 4 rocks in at 58, a world away from the MOR ballads dominating their long career, and Kiki Dee debuts with a Motown single that didn't hit - The Day Will Come Between Sunday And Monday starting her chart career 3 years before Amoureuse broke through with help from Elton John. The Supremes follow-up Up The Ladder with a US single that I never spotted, more  a track off the album than a showcase release, The Chi-Lites return with another of many many to come, Joe Cocker covers The Box Tops to lesser effect, Yvonne Fair debuts a full 6 years earlier than her showstopping It Should Have Been Me cover, and Andy Fairweather-Low scrapes in with a song I've never had much time for, despite seeing him sing it in concert, loving Amen Corner, and his later solo tracks like 1974's Reggae Tune.
