1971 Top Thirteen

Just a quickie this week because we’ve family coming which means 3 month's-worth of cleaning – we haven’t seen them since New Year.
Still a lot of bubble gum along with several proper classics from Labi Siffre, Diana Ross, Cher and Rod Stewart.
The likes of the Sweet and T Rex heralded the start of glam rock, and I was totally knocked out by Slade’s Coz I Luv You. Still one of my all-time faves and I’m proud to say I saw them live three times – the original good-time band.

1) Slade – Coz I Luv You – 11-71
2) Labi Siffre – It Must Be Love – 12-71
3) Diana Ross – I'm Still Waiting – 08-71
4) Cher – Gipsies Tramps and Thieves – 11-71
5) Rod Stewart – Maggie May – 09-71
6) Peter Noone – Oh You Pretty Things – 06-71
7) Isaac Hayes – Theme From 'Shaft' – 12-71
8) The Rolling Stones – Brown Sugar – 05-71
9) The Congregation – Softly Whispering I Love You – 12-71
10) The Sweet - Funny Funny - 04-71
11) Lobo – Me And You And A Dog Named Boo – 07-71
12) The Mixtures – The Pushbike Song – 01-71
13) Redbone – Witch Queen Of New Orleans – 10-71


And a few which deserve an honorary mention:
Curved Air – Back Street Luv – 09-71
George Harrison – My Sweet Lord – 01-71
The Fortunes – Freedom Come Freedom Go – 10-71
Neil Diamond – Sweet Caroline – 02-71
