18th July 1970


It's a 4th week on top for Snowbird, holding off Lola at 2, as Neil Diamond gets a second top 10 with Solitary Man, and Junior Walker also grabs a 2nd top 10. This week Denmark beat Italy 2-0 in the first World female Soccer championship. No, I don't remember it either, not have I seen any anniversary mentions of it. This month Kasey Kasem's long-running American Top 40 show debuted on US radio - not only was he the voice of Shaggy, but I used to tune into the American Forces network around 1973/4/5 to listen to Kasey. It was great. 

Back in my retro charts, Cliff drops from a peak of 26 despite topping my charts of the time, I mean I'm still fond of Goodbye Sam Hello Samantha, but it's not my top track 50 years on! MIke Nesmith gets his 1st solo top 20, 10CC get their first (or at least 7.5CC do), and the highest new entry is from Rodriguez at 37, with Sugar Man. I had no idea who he was a week ago, like most of the world, but thanks to Railiverpool I do now. Quite the Nick Drake word-of-mouth success long after a short career ended, huge in South Africa, and even a film documentary about the unknown American singer-songwriter. Very fab, so good the first single off that album also enters lower down, Inner City Blues.

Chairmen Of The Board assemble for a 3rd time with Everything's Tuesday, and still 4 years of singles to run, Elton John's B side (Grey Seal) pops in, ahead of it's 1973 revamp for the Yellow Brick Road album, Rod Stewart debuts a future Elkie Brooks chart entry with Gasoline Alley, and he'll be back err for the next 50 years! Ditto Elton! Toots & The Maytals get a second chart entry, Madeline Bell sneaks though a second chart solo entry in the wake of her Blue Mink success, The Gentrys get a second, and Tommy james scrapes in at 80 as his Tighter Tighter gift song does much better than his own.

I too used to listen to AFN and Kasey in the 70's it was the only way to here the music that was big in the US.
