Yet another superb CCR B-side:-

[popchartfreak]

29th August 1970

It's straight in at 1 for the latest teen idol and manufactured TV pop group, David Cassidy and The Partridge Family, and the very fab I Think I Love You. The show aired in Singapore so I was a big fan of the music and the sitcom-with-music roughly based on the real-life Cowsills family and band. The show debuted at the end of September, but the single was out this week with it's equally-plugged and fab B Side Somebody Wants To Love Me, in at 39. Both were on an EP later in the year and I gave mum & dad my pocket money when they went shopping in the City to buy me it - and they came back with The Archies EP, which was better than nothing at all, but not what I really wanted! Shirley Jones, famously in 50's musical movies, was David's step-mother in real life, and the star of the show until Cassidy-Mania took-over at which point they dropped the godawful muzak filler tracks with session singers from their albums that were cast-free. Voice Of The Beehive also had a decent hit with the song in 1990, but my heart is still with the harpsichord and David's belting vocal.

Up to 3, Glen Campbell gets an 11th top 10 in these retro countdowns, as It's Only Make Believe climbs to 3, and Carpenters get a second top 10 as they get a 3rd top 40 with the both-lovely We've Only Just Begun and Crescent Noon, the 3 essential tracks from their new album. In at 21, The Tremeloes are back with an 8th top 40, the terrific Me And My Life, Love pop back with their 1968 chart-topper as it belatedly makes the US 100, and Blue Mink get a 3rd single, the good Our World. The Delfonics keep up their run of soul-goodies with a song I had no idea they did - When You Get Right Down To It was a UK hit for Ronnie Dyson in late 1971 when I was back in the UK, and a great version too.

The Uniques enter with a 1966 track, All These Things, White Plains get a trio of entries, Jonathan King tries his hand at another cover - this time one I didn't know he'd done, Neil Diamond's Cherry Cherry which pre-dates my 1967 retro-chart-start, so it's a first appearance, albeit a lesser version. The Three Degrees return with an OTT diva reading of the wedding vows, guaranteed to appeal to women and girls of a certain age, and Cliff sneaks in with another track of his I missed at the time and still don't know much of.
