Very cool fav singles chart, seventies heavy which I like. Great choice of number one with Whiter Shade of Pale and a cracking Top Ten. Some really good picks and some I don't know. Current favourites I like are Box Tops The Letter (I play that a lot), Summer In The City by Lovin Spoonful and JA's White Rabbit. There's something about that golden period between about 1967-1980 that produced so much good music although I only remember from about 1977 onwards, being born in '75. A good time for singles and 70s is my favourite decade for albums, although singles-wise I am definitely an 80s kid too, even if 80s albums are not so hot.
Overall this is a fine singles chart.
