Not much change at the top of the UK Top 20 this week in 1970 as Rolf Harris and Kenny Rogers continue to dominate.

Further down, three discs enter the twenty for the first time, while The Beatles classic double A-Side reappears at Number 18.

In 2004, the song was covered by ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog and became a hit all over again:

Until next time...
