1967 Top Thirteen

Although I was only seven, music was very firmly a part of my life, and I have really strong memories of so many songs, particularly the almost-novelty ones like Excerpt From A Teenage Opera, Happy Jack, Ha Ha Said The Clown and especially Simon Smith & His Amazing Dancing Bear. But there were several more conventional hits which still stand up today.

1. The Move - Flowers In The Rain - 09-67
2. The Monkees - I'm A Believer - 01-67
3. Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale - 06-67
4. Aretha Franklin - Respect - 07-67
5. The Small Faces - Itchycoo Park - 09-67
6. Traffic - Hole In My Shoe - 09-67
7. The Supremes - The Happening - 06-67
8. The Four Tops - Walk Away Renee - 12-67
9. Nancy & Frank Sinatra - Somethin' Stupid - 04-67
10. Cliff Richard - The Day I Met Marie - 09-67
11. Petula Clark - Don't Sleep In The Subway - 07-67
12. Sandie Shaw - Puppet On A String - 04-67
13. Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - Zabadak - 10-67
