19th September 1970

It's Dusty presiding at 1 & 2 and also 17 in a chart where I genuinely expected all of the records from 1 to 14 to top my chart at some stage, had they all not been competing with each other, given so many of them topped my original charts or have hit the top in the years since. Except Dusty was severely under-appreciated and keeps herself off the top with a bit of bad timing, as the first-ever unavailable track, but a live performance of note of a Bacharach song gives Dusty a 3rd Retro chart-topper - and had I compiled them starting in 1963 there would have been at least another 3. Maybe I'll do them for the 60th anniversary...

Bacharach has of course topped as songwriter and/or producer already - in 1969 with Bobbie Gentry, 1970 with Carpenters, and again oodles from 1963 to 1966, from whence the original version of Make It Easy On Yourself came, in the cover by The Walker Brothers. Dionne warwick was robbed of the original version as she was a session singer testing the song for other acts (until Bacharach realised she was so good she should be the primary artist for his material) - and in 1970 she cut a live version of her original demo, which charts at 58. Likewise, as primary fanboy songwriter Jimmy Webb gifted most of his best stuff to Glen Campbell you'd have thought MacArthur Park was a no-brainer for Glen's fabulous singing range - but Richard Harris got it. Belatedly on his latest album dropping last week, it now charts as an album track.

Talking of Glen, The Partridge Family make a Glen Campbell sandwich of It's Only Make Believe as it goes back up, Somebody Wants To Love You becomes a 2nd top 10 for the TV band, and I Think I Love You is forced down by the Dusty dominance, including Dusty's version of How Can I Be Sure which I guarantee will top my 1972 retro charts, as it did in my current charts when David Cassidy died a few years ago. The Carpenters also make it 2 in the 20 as album track Crescent Moon continues to impress. 

Highest new entry at 21 is future single, current album track from The Jackson 5's third (!!) album, Mama's Pearl which I loved in mid-1971 when I caught an American top 10 rundown on a radio station in Singapore, they had two tracks featured, I loved them both. In at 30 is another album track, and future single in edited form, from Curtis Mayfield dropping his debut solo album away from The Impressions, which contains a 9-minute version of his classic Move On Up. I've had to chart that version on the basis that the single edit didn't exist for a few months!

Todd Rundgren, Bread and The Delfonics all return to the top 40 with new tracks, as Gamble & Huff outdo themselves with another new entry, for classic doo-wop act Little Anthony & The Imperials - a very Delfonics-sounding production on Help me Find A Way - and a second chart entry for the band as Don't Tie Me Down hit 24 in 1967, though they would have charted years earlier with Goin' Out Of My Head in 1964, and also topped my chart for weeks in the 50's with Tears On My Pillow, which I've always loved. The Temptations have a new social-conscience funk single out, and both sides are fab, albeit little-known, and classy. Nitty Gritty Dirt band return with a country cover of Mr Bojangles, already a chart hit here for Jerry Jeff Walker in 1969, and their third entry with the future US smash hit. 

Buddy Miles gets a second, James Brown a 4th, Quiksilver Messenger Service a debut, and finally it's also a debut for New York band Mardi Gras (they drop the "The" in 1972 when they get a UK hit with the best cover of Too Busy Thinking Bout My Baby) who get a surprise French chart-topper this week in 1970 with Girl, I've Got News For You, which I didn't know, but recognised the band name, who seem to have been wiped from history, though I recall them on Top Of The Pops in 1972 unless I'm having delusions. The follow-up was released in 1970 but took 2 years to hit the UK, so expect it later in the year cos I love it.
