well, what a chart, with a couple of long term standards in there (spirit in the sky, alright now, in the summertime), plus alot of rock and motown... ooh look... michael jackson with his second chart hit and when he was black! also note the high number of 'naff' hits... roger whittaker, gerry monroe for eg, .
