21st November 1970

It's a first week on top for very ambitious 60's-sounding Lonely Days, giving The Bee Gees a 5th chart-topper, and a 4th consecutive year of number ones. Highest new entry is the first solo appearance for the third Beatle to appear, George Harrison's My Sweet Lord out and charting in the USA, in at 5. The Fabs are at 9 chart-toppers over 4 years and there have as yet been no solo chart-toppers. Dave Edmunds creeps up into the 10, held at bay by the sheer number of classic tracks as the top 10 becomes even more guitar-rock oriented with Yvonne Elliman entering at 10 with the Jesus Christ Superstar showstopping ballad I Don't Know How To Love Him, the album having been a few weeks. Yvonne is fabulous, and was brilliant in the 1973 film version of the stage Rock Musical.

Superstar already peaked at 2 in 1969 for Murray Head, and another track also enters at 32 for Yvonne Elliman, aided and abetted by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple (as Jesus) and Tony Head's brother back as Judas, Everything's Alright is a delicious melody and the lyrics work beautifully in the context of the musical, but not as a stand alone song. Backing musicians for the album include most of Joe Cocker's backing band The Grease, and supporting singers feature Lesley Duncan (see Elton John's version of her Love Song up into the 40) and Blue Mink's Madeline Bell.

Led Zep go top 20, leapfrogging C.C.S.'s version of Whole Lotta Love, The Turtles final single goes top 40, while heading for the Canadian top spot is Gordon Lightfoot, who debuts with If You Could Read My Mind, a fab crossover song from the Canadian folk artist, who has many more goodies to come over the 70's. In at 47, as Dad's Army star Clive Dunn (not old at all, it's make-up) charts with Herbie Flower's Grandad at 64. I loved the song at the time, a big Two-Way Family Favourite on Forces radio abroad for those missing relatives. Herbie Flowers of course then-currently in Blue Mink, and a future band-member of T.Rex, Sky, and not least the bassline on Lou Reed's Walk On The Wild Side. So, totally forgiven for getting a bit of charming, olde-worlde songwriting cash. It's sobering to reflect that the lyrics reference penny-farthing bicycles, quite accurately for someone elderly fondly contemplating their youth in the late 19th century in 1970. The equivalent now would be a song about life in the 40's and 50's!

Debuting lower down is the wistful Nothing Rhymed, the debut entry for curmudgeonly Gilbert O'Sullivan, who if nothing else has been very protective of his catalogue from Day One. His best days were his short-pants period (yes, actually, years ahead of AC/DC). Herman's Hermits take one last collective chart hurrah together with an Italian song cover Lady Barbara, The Equals return a bit funkier with Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys, and The Bandwagon are also back, with Johnny Johnson now taking lead vocal credit in the name.
