70s Music Charts February 9th 1974

Posted by admin as 70s Hits, 70s music, February 1974, Hits of the 70s, Music of the 70s, top of the pops

It is February 1974, and this month and Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn was charged with with treason and is forced out on the country. He finally ended up living in Switzerland for a few years, after being deported into West Germany.

The BBC charts continue for that week.

No. 20 Loves Theme by Love Unlimited Orchestra

The writer and producer to this beautiful instrumental was none other than Barry White himself. Barry must have been surprised where life was going to take him, because at the age of seventeen he was jailed for theft. But in prison he listened to Elvis, and his life changed. Very soon Barry’s distinctive voice will be heard by the whole world in the 1970s, but here we listen to his production talents.

No. 19

The Wombling Song by Wombles

This is the phenomena of the Wombles and the power of children’s TV. Based on the books of Elizabeth Beresford about mystical creatures on the grounds of Wimbledon common in the UK. The theme to the five minute TV programmes became a huge hit with school kids, and the man who wrote it Mike Batt released it as a single. Amazingly the Wombles (Mike Batt) would have huge hits in the 1970s. Mike later this decade would score a No. 1 with the song Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel.

    I am one of those baby boomer's, who had the pleasure, and the FUN to grow up in the amazing 1970s. The 70s music was so diverse, and the charts were for everyone from 8 to 80. That was when POP was fun, and the top forty really meant something as it was a shared experience. I have tried in this site to bring back the memories of the 70s, not just the pure pop, but also the heavy guys like Floyd and Black Sabbath. Everything had a place in the music of the 70s, and everything has a memory for one of us 1970s boomers.
