December 29, 20204 yr Author 30th December 1990 It's 3 weeks on top for the Righteous Brothers and not a lot going on other than, as I assume christmas songs took over the radio and TV overload would have been going on. I could check my diary, but prob no point. Clearly from the retro playlist I'd got a 50's Doowop classics CD for Xmas and listed 3 brilliant tracks that still haven't charted for me. That really needs remedying! Other than that Marc Almond's wonderful Waifs And Strays extends his top 10 run to 9 years, Bill medley gets 2 simultaneous oldies top 10's, Bananarama keep their top 40 run to 8 consecutive years, Michael Bolton pops in with a cover of Ray Charles' classic Georgia On My Mind. It's not as good, by a mile. a-ha sneak in with a rather low 75 for I Call Your name. 1 ( 1 ) YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVIN’ FEELIN’ The Righteous Brothers 2 ( 2 ) SADENESS PART I Enigma 3 ( 3 ) CRAZY Seal 4 ( 5 ) WICKED GAME Chris Isaak 5 ( 6 ) SAVIOUR’S DAY Cliff Richard 6 ( 4 ) (THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU/ MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING Carpenters 7 ( 7 ) CRAZY Patsy Cline 8 ( 8 ) ALL TOGETHER NOW The Farm featuring Pete Wylie 9 ( 19 ) WAIFS AND STRAYS Marc Almond 10 ( 12 ) (I’VE HAD) THE TIME OF MY LIFE Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes 11 ( 11 ) BEING BORING Pet Shop Boys 12 ( 9 ) JUSTIFY MY LOVE Madonna 13 ( 18 ) MR.

December 29, 20204 yr Author I have only just realised that Bill Medley was in the Righteous Brothers :o Well, it took me years and years to work out his name wasn't something-Righteous and he was around when I was in Infants School :lol:
December 29, 20204 yr As silly as it sounds, I think I'd always sort of assumed they were such and such Righteous as well! :lol:
