September 18, 200816 yr a poor chart from a poor year (in retrospect, at the time I knew no better and liked a lot of what I heard). 1 1 Abba - Dancing Queen................................................ I've never liked this song, even back then, thought it was overrated but I can admire that it is a well constructed song 2 3 Real Thing - Can't Get By Without You 3 9 The Wurzels - I Am A Cider Drinker............................ unbelievable to think rubbish like this could reach the upper reaches of the chart 4 10 Bay City Rollers - I Only Wanna Be With You 5 12 Pussycat - Mississippi............................................... oh, no! My sister used to play this over and over again and drove me crazy. I hate this song! 6 11 Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light...... not bad, a Bruce Springsteen song from before he became famous 7 5 Mr Acker Bilk - Aria 8 2 Rod Stewart - The Killing Of Georgie........................... I actually bought this song back then and despite being young knew what it was about 9 13 Tina Charles - Dance Little Lady Dance 10 4 Georghe Zamfir - (Light Of Experience) Doina De Jale 11 23 Rod Stewart - Sailing {1976} 12 8 The Chi-Lites - You Don't Have To Go 13 6 Wings - Let 'Em In.................................................. I quite like this song 14 7 The Stylistics - 16 Bars 15 26 Kiki Dee - Loving And Free.................................... OK, but I preferred the B side which was her 1973 hit Amoureuse - I love that song 16 15 Barry White - Baby We Better Try And Get It Together 17 18 Cliff Richard - I Can't Ask For Anything More Than You Babe 18 19 Twiggy - Here I Go Again 19 34 Rick Dees And His Cast Of Idiots - Disco Duck........ incredibly awful record by the US DJ 20 27 The Bee Gees - You Should Be Dancing................. a song I didn't like in 1976 but grew to like in 1978 when it was in SNF and all over the radio 21 29 Elvis Presley - Girl Of My Best Friend 22 21 Lou Rawls - You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine... I quite liked this 23 16 Billie Jo Spears - What I've Got In Mind 24 17 Bryan Ferry - Extended Play................................ The Price Of Love on this EP is great 25 37 The Ritchie Family - The Best Disco In Town......... I used to have this single, the first "disco" record (disco as in the type of music) I ever bought 26 14 Elton John And Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart... I owned this too, loved it then bored of it these days 27 24 Dr Hook - A Little Bit More.................................. I had this record too and back then compiled my own personal chart. This was my first ever number one! 28 25 Hot Chocolate - Heaven Is In The Back Seat Of My Cadillac 29 28 Tommy Hunt - Loving On The Losing Side 30 39 Can - I Want More 31 35 Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama/Double Trouble... from the Freebird EP, the latter not being credited on the charts until a 1979 re-entry 32 20 Jesse Green - Nice And Slow............................. I liked this back then, Radio One used to play both the vocal and instrumental versions at the time 33 41 The Drifters - Every Nite's A Saturday Night With You 34 49 James Brown - Get Up Offa That Thing 35 47 Gallagher And Lyle - Breakaway 36 48 JALN Band - Disco Music (I Like It) 37 30 Johnny Wakelin - In Zaire................................. this reminds me of sitting around a table with a bunch of mates at school and all singing and all using the table as the drums... 38 50 Randy Edelman - Uptown, Uptempo Woman....... my local radio station was still playing this in the late 80s as a "golden oldie". It's diabolical! 39 22 Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight............ a massive US hit and a pleasant, but ultimately bland, song 40 45 Detroit Spinners - The Rubberband Man 41 43 Candi Staton - Destiny 42 38 Barry Biggs - Work All Day 43 46 Eddie and the Hotrods - Live At The Marquee 44 44 Peter Frampton - Baby I Love Your Way 45 New Sherbet - Howzat.......................................... one hit wonders from Australia, liked the song at the time 46 42 Johnny 'Guitar' Watson - I Need It 47 New Rubettes - Under One Roof 48 New England Dan And John Ford Coley - I'd Really Love To See You Tonight 49 New Elton John - Benny And The Jets 50 New Smokie - I'll Meet You At Midnight.................. I still like this song
September 18, 200816 yr Hey hey, 6 months before I was born...I may well have heard these from the womb. So... Those I'd happily stick on now... 34 49 James Brown - Get Up Offa That Thing Watch me! Woo, one of James' funkiest. I once tried to mix it with the Chemical Brothers but it didn't work...oh well. ...and that's it. Umm...what a poxy chart...you realise why punk had to happen when you see the likes of that.
September 18, 200816 yr 15 26 Kiki Dee - Loving And Free.................................... OK, but I preferred the B side which was her 1973 hit Amoureuse - I love that song i didnt know that!.... both are damn good songs , amoureuse a little gem about losing her virginity.
September 18, 200816 yr i didnt know that!.... both are damn good songs , amoureuse a little gem about losing her virginity.It was a 4 track EP, a greatest hits release really as the tracks were "Loving And Free" (I presume the then new song), Amoureuse, I've Got The Music In Me and (Don't You Know) How Glad I Am, the latter 3 being her only other hits to that point apart from "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". I never got to own it as my local Woolies were out of stock when I went to buy it...
