Number one on your date of birth

[neoELITE]

JJ Barrie - No Change

You'd probably know it if you heard it.  It's sick inducingly twee.

 

Two days later and it is knocked off the top by the legendary Wurzels with Combine Harvester.  Looking at all the number 1s that year, it wasn't a great year for UK Singles. I was convinced before looking this up that it was someone like The Sex Pistols but that came out a year later.  I had my 1st birthday on the same day as the Silver Jubillee so that's probably why I got confused.

Silver Lady - David Soul

 

My wife bought me the 45 a few years ago from a seller on Ebay.

Tiger Feet by Mud for me.

Damn, the top ten when I was born was DOPE

 

 

I didn't expect the chart to back up the claim but undeniably, that is a great top ten.

I don’t think anyone needs a Gary Glitter video here

For me it’s a rather dull Diana Ross ballad, but number one when my wife born…….Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas.

[Vimster]

Telegram Sam by T Rex. Can't really complain about that. 

 

Just looking at that week's chart, it's choc full of total class:

 

29 - Theme From Shaft by Isaac Hayes

22 - If You Really Love Me by Stevie Wonder

20 - The Persuaders theme by John Barry

15 - Family Affair by Sly and the Family Stone

9 - Let's Stay Together by Al Green

4 - Horse With No Name by America

 

Lots of other fun stuff like Brand New Key by Melanie and Son Of My Father by Chicory Tip too.

In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry. Yes I am very old.

I got the musically terrifying (and lyrically even more terrifying) ‘Baby Jump’ by Mungo Jerry.

 

It had just pushed George Harrison’s ‘My Sweet Lord’ off the top spot. ‘Sweet Caroline’ had also just appeared in the Top 10.

The Tide Is High by Blondie for me. I like Blondie, but this isn't one of their best.
