1970s Music Chart February 3rd 1979

Posted by admin as 70s Hits, 70s music, Hits of the 70s, Music of the 70s

This week the pop world lost Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols. He was found dead in New York City following a drug overdose. He died in bed with his girlfriend at his side, but it was his mother than realised he was dead.

No. 20

Rama Lama Ding Dong by Rocky Sharpe And The Replays

No. 19

Mirrors by Sally Oldfield

Brother of superstar Mike and born in Dublin in 1947. She also provided backing vocals on Tubular Bells. This was the only single hit Sally ever had.

No. 18

I’m Every Woman by Chaka Khan

No. 17

Cool Meditation by Third World

Best known for their 1978 classic Now That We Found Love, but this new single was a minor hit for the Jamaican group. Last year the group worked with Stevie Wonder but nothing really came from it, and the group really had nothing new to offer the charts, but they did release four albums in the 1970s.

No. 16
Milk And Alcohol by Dr Feelgood

This British group was formed back in 1971 and  several members come and go over the years. The group had three albums make the BBC top 40 in the 1970s, and this single was written by  pop-star Nick Lowe along with Gypie Mayo. Gypie also played guitar on the single too.

  • 70s People

    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.
