  2. 29.04.1967 : Sandy Posey - What A Woman In Love Won't Do (4 weeks # 1) http://images.tvrage.com/people/103/306425.jpg 7qSdLNpECp0 # 48 in United Kingdom. 27.05.1967 : Petula Clark - Don't Sleep In The Subway (6 weeks # 1) http://www.petulaclark.net/discography/6768/dv14639.jpg P0xd2v9FerM Unstoppable Petula Clark is # 1 again. "Don't Sleep in the Subway" is a song written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent and recorded by Petula Clark for whom it was an April 1967 single release. The song was constructed from three different sections of music previously composed by Hatch and changes in musical style from pop to symphonic and then to a Beach Boys-like melody for the chorus. It uses a chord progression most familiar from the baroque piece "Pachelbel's Canon". In the lyrics the narrator advises her sweetheart against storming out after an argument due to his "foolish pride". If he does, he will "sleep in the subway" or "stand in the pouring rain" merely to prove his point. Although in the UK the term "subway" refers to a pedestrian underpass rather than an underground transit system, Hatch employed the term in the latter American sense. "Don't Sleep in the Subway" peaked at #5 on the US charts in June 1967, becoming Clark's final US Top Ten single and the second of two #1 hits on the Billboard Easy Listening chart, following "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love". In the UK where Clark's precedent single "This Is My Song" had afforded Clark her best chart showing with two weeks at #1 "Don't Sleep in the Subway" had a July 1967 chart peak of #12 evincing a decline in Clark's UK chart profile which would continue until Clark made her last UK Top 40 appearance with a new recording with "Song of My Life" which peaked at #32 in March 1971. "Don't Sleep in the Subway" reached #5 in Canada, #7 in New Zealand and #16 in Germany. In Australia, it was at #1 on the charts dated 16 and 23 September 1967, marking Clark's final appearance at #1 on an official national chart.
  3. 08.04.1967 : Frank and Nancy Sinatra - Somethin' Stupid (3 weeks # 1) http://www.sabotagetimes.com/wp-content/uploads/Frank-Sinatra-Something-Stupid-347785.jpg 0f48fpoSEPU "Somethin' Stupid" is a song written by C. Carson Parks and originally recorded in 1966 by Parks and his wife Gaile Foote, as "Carson and Gaile". The most successful and best known version of the song was issued as a single by Nancy Sinatra & Frank Sinatra and subsequently appeared on Frank's album "The World We Knew". Frank had played Parks' recording to his daughter's producer, Lee Hazlewood, who recalled "He asked me, 'Do you like it?' and I said, 'I love it, and if you don't sing it with Nancy, I will.' He said, 'We're gonna do it, book a studio.'" Their rendition was recorded on February 1, 1967. Al Casey played guitar on the recording. Hazlewood and Jimmy Bowen were listed as the producers of the single, with arrangement by Billy Strange. The single spent four weeks at #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and nine weeks atop the easy listening (now adult contemporary) chart, becoming Frank's second gold single as certified by the RIAA and Nancy's third. It was the first and only instance of a father-daughter number-one song in America. The single also reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart the same year. Because of the song's intimate nature, this single is sometimes unofficially referred to as "The Incest Song".

  5. 18.03.1967 : Sandie Shaw - I Don't Need Anything (3 weeks # 1) http://rymimg.com/lk/f/l/66fa12f46de1f77aa7636be049c8f840/2530343.jpg j33mx3jnACM Some weeks before her great win in Eurovision Song Contest Sandie Shaw got her 7th number single, which reached only # 50 in the official UK chart.
  6. 18.02.1967 : Petula Clark - This Is My Song (4 weeks # 1) http://www.rock-ola.be/hoes-cl/clark,%20petula/petula%20clark8522.jpg Gk2RQp_lRUc "This is My Song" was intended for the film "A Countess from Hong Kong", which Charlie Chaplin wrote and directed. Clark had assumed her recording of "This Is My Song" with the original quaint Chaplin lyrics would only be used as an album track; on learning of Pye Records plan to release the track as a single she attempted to block its release. Instead, she found herself a top the UK Singles Chart for the first time in six years when "This Is My Song" reached No. 1 on the chart dated 16 February 1967, a position it retained the next week. Certified Silver for sales of 250,000, the total sales of "This Is My Song" in the UK would exceed 500,000. The breakout of "This Is My Song" in the UK in February 1967 caused Pye Records to withdraw Clark's current album release "Colour My World" which was rush re-released with "This Is My Song" added on to reach No. 16 on the charts. "This Is My Song" was also included on Clark's next album "These Are My Songs", which reached No. 38 UK later that year. Petula Clark's "This Is My Song" was No. 1 for four weeks in Ireland and six weeks in Australia, with chart topping rankings also achieved in Netherlands and Belgium. "This Is My Song" also earned hit status in New Zealand (#15) and Norway (#6). In it's North American single release - which omitted the opening lyrical section, following the instrumental introduction, due to the length of the song, - "This Is My Song" reached #3 in United States. and #4 in Canada; the single was certified a Gold record for sales of one million units in the US.
  7. 21.01.1967 : Nancy Sinatra - Sugar Town (4 weeks # 1) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k9DNTDxyIVE/S-P0_vfX4uI/AAAAAAAAABE/5V-8i7VKvH0/s1600/ns1.jpg h4hVt-oktMY "Sugar Town" is a song written by songwriter-producer Lee Hazlewood and first recorded by American singer Nancy Sinatra in 1966. As a single released under the Reprise label, it peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and in December 1966, while reaching number one on the Easy Listening chart in January 1967 and # 8 in United Kingdom. The song was included on Nancy Sinatra's LP, Sugar, also released in 1966, and was featured in her 1967 TV special "Movin' with Nancy" AllMusic.com reviewer Richie Unterberger describes "Sugar Town," Sinatra's second largest hit single, as “daintier” than the material for which she was known, with a “carefree” lyric backed by the “big hook” of a “circular happy-go-lucky pluck of a guitar” with “nicely muted horns and harpsichord” and “fetching double-tracking of Sinatra's voice on the slightly jazzy chorus.” A highlight, Unterberger writes, is the fadeout, where she dispenses with the lyrics and softly “la-las” the melody.
  8. Natalija Zvonke-Bunke is a singer from Lithuanian girl group YVA, also known as my # 1 favourite girlband. http://www.naitimp3.com/img/artist/_/272665.jpg Natalija is in the middle on photo. Who are YVA ? Maybe some hardcore Eurovision fans on this forum heard about YVA. YVA was the most popular Lithuanian group, which known for Europeans as a particapant of 2 National Finals for ESC with "Barbie" (2005) and "I Dangu" (2009). YVA was a sexy trio of singer Natalija Zvonke (now Bunke) and two female dancers. "YVA" (Ypatingai Viliojanti Atrakcija) is an abriveatura, on English it means Extremely Seductive Attraction. Formed in 2003, Yva got their big breakthrough in 2005, when their song "Berniukams" (and debut album of the same title) caused mass hysteria in Lithuania, becoming the biggest hit of the summer. Yva based their success on combination of infectious uptempo pop songs and self promotion.Natalija is probably the most recognizable face of current Lithuanian pop culture – she takes part in most of the main music events and never denies an interview. After YVA's split Natalija Bunke is a solo singer and a member of girl group Pop Ladies.

  11. Forgot about Jenny Frost. :( Only 21th century's groups here, that's a reason because Emma wasn't included.
