Buffy Sainte-Marie is an artist whose catalogue I need to get to know better. Her best known song is "Up Where We Belong", as sung by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes in An Officer And A Gentleman.

12th September 1970

It's a first week on top for The Jackson 5, as we get a first real look at the wonder that is young Michael Jackson's flawless ability to sing and convey emotion on I'll Be There - not that his brothers do a bad job, they don't and Jermaine does a great job too, but Michael is in a league of his own. For useful comparison try the Mariah Carey version (amazing vocal range, zero ability to emote, it's all about showing off not feeling). If you want a lesson in how to sing, look no further than Dusty Springfield, she LIVED the words and music and arranged them for maximum effect, still the greatest British female vocalist of all-time for me, it's not even close. Co-incidentally Dusty is up to 3 with her brilliant version of How Can I Be Sure, 24 with her version of Spooky, and in at 4 with her version of Burt Bacharach's A House Is Not A Home....

...which you won't have ever heard, on the grounds that it's never been released, but aired this week 50 years ago on a US TV special. There was a previous TV only version Dusty did in 1968, but in a lesson that she never gave the same performance twice, check this one out, which I first caught in Centre Stage, a Gran Canaria bar which specialises in musicals clips and gay icons - it was a "battle" between clips of Cilla & Dusty, and had this clip, and I've pretty much seen it once or twice a year in there for the last 17 years, and never fails to move me. I'm going to gush now, and say this is the greatest unreleased performance from TV, and the definitive version of this great song, including the Glee version which was fab, and the marvellous Dionne Warwick.



Other new stuff includes some Worldwide hits in the absence of other significant big US/UK chart entries, though we have The Hollies at 47 with the fab Gasoline Alley Bred a Greenaway/Cook/Macauley song to join Blue Mink's songwriting credentials, David Gates gives Bread a second great ballad, It Don't Matter To Me at 49, and not a hit but still fab and new out, Etta James belting it out on Losers Weepers at 62, almost a decade since her classic At Last, and backed by singers including Minnie Ripperton who I've credited just because she deserves it and for no other reason. A hit in Europe and Australasia, and inexplicably not in the UK, Wight Is Wight for Sandie Shaw enters at 67, Neil Young's After The Goldrush album is out and the lead track debuts 4 years ahead of the wonderful Prelude cover, Young-Holt Unlimited grab another tasty Easy Listening instrumental, Tyrone Davis enters with another slab of soul, and finally top 10 in New Zealand Suzanne (no idea either) enters with her version of Yesterday When I Was Young, the English language version of a Charles Aznavour French hit song of the early 60's that had been a US country hit for Roy Clark. And because I like circular commentary, Dusty recorded it in 1972, probably her last significant single release until Disco Dusty in 1979, and Baby Blue.
