On 3rd September 1970 Alan Wilson, vocalist, guitarist, harmonica player, songwriter and founder of Canned Heat was found dead from an overdose of barbiturates at the age of 27. Four of their tracks return to my chart this week.

Wow! Isn't that the song that got Aretha knocked out of Haven factor?

I think you are right, in round 4 HF 2 mentored by Shireblogger, knocked out by Depeche Mode.

A travesty. Instant elimination without even a sing-off. It was a high quality round, but nonetheless, surely "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)" is better than Britney Spear's "Stronger" or Garbage's "Special" or Powderfinger's "My Kind Of Scene" or Whitney's "One Moment In Time" ?

running late sorry, back from Spain, will post in 2 or 3 hours here:

5th September 1970


It's 2 weeks on top for The Partridge Family as the B side shoots up to 20, giving David Cassidy two top 20's as a song he will take to the UK number one enters at 6, a gorgeous version by Dusty Springfield which I love almost as much as the Cassidy version, and both versions more than the Young Rascals version which peaked at 5 in my 1967 retro charts. It's a flawless song. Highest new entry is the biggest one yet by The Jackson 5, I'll Be There at 2, their first ballad, and like I Think I Love You a song I associate hugely with tropical Singapore - only this one co-incidentally also popped up while I was wandering round Sentosa island on my only return visit in 1995. They must have played it just for me!

Dusty also returns with a B side, a cover of Classics IV's Spooky which peaked at 16 in the '67 retro charts, Dusty currently twice that at 32. Todd Rundgren is back, this time with a solo track after his band version of Hello It's Me, We Gotta Get You A Woman is fab and in at 53, as The Chi-Lites enter with their original version of the soundalike hit version entering the US charts by Otis Leaville - his is good, but it's the same label as Eugene Record's, so obviously he had a hand in it, but the production isn't as polished and the vocals not as good. Horace Faith debuts with a reggae version of the 1969 retro hit for Sonny Charles & The Checkmates' Black Pearl, while CCR debut with a new album track version of Marvin Gaye's chart-topping Grapevine 6 years ahead of it's UK single release - it made my top 30 in 1976.
