Very interesting chart this week--five double sided singles as listed by UMD: -Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, Carpenters and Chicago. First major hits from Al Green and Michael Jackson also. Melanie moving up to eventually #1 with "Brand New Key", quite a departure from "Candles In The Rain" from 1970. This gets me--"My Ding A Ling" banned on radio stations, but don't we all know what Melanie was alluding in her song?

Second version of "Never My Love" and three years later Blue Swede would have a Top 10 with a faster version.

Metaphorically speaking, I believe most interpreted Melanie's lyrics as a 'key' to one's heart. Or one's mind.

Metaphorically speaking, I believe most interpreted Melanie's lyrics as a 'key' to one's heart. Or one's mind. Stupid, naive me, I always understood it as a song about two friends--each had something the other lacked, but together they could have fun roller skating. Two girls sang it as a duet at my 2nd grade talent show and nobody raised any eyebrows.

The New Seekers had a top ten hit with their rendition of "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing".

The New Seekers had a top ten hit with their rendition of "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing". The Hillside Singers studio group didn't do too bad either, #13. New Seekers got to 7. Both versions peaked on the same two January '72 charts--1/25 and 1/22. The Hillside version was 'truer' to the original Coke ad, IMO.

It will be interesting to see if Hoggy gives us great alternative programming to 1971?

It will be interesting to see if Hoggy gives us great alternative programming to 1971? WIHG will probably go with AT32 from 11/24/79. After airing 1971 on Saturday afternoon, WQMV is likely to pass over 11/30/74 for Casey's Christmas countdown.

Second version of "Never My Love" and three years later Blue Swede would have a Top 10 with a faster version. Six and a half years later (summer 1978), the country cover version of “Never My Love” was out. By a voice who was known as “The Voice” … Vern Gosdin. Brian

Any special shows for the Thanksgiving weekend planned? I haven't heard of any extra shows airing so was wondering.
