At the end of January 1970, Rolf Harris's stranglehold on the top of the charts finally came to an end as Edison Lighthouse jumped eleven places to occupy the Number One spot. Elsewhere, the Top 20 was relatively quiet, with only two new songs making their mark.
At Number 10 was a new entry by progressive rock band Jethro Tull, with their penultimate Top 20 hit (to date): The Witch's Promise. Released as a double A-Side with Teacher, both tracks were included on the band's early Seventies album Living in the Past.

Here are the band on the German music programme, Beat Club, performing the excellent Teacher:
A new entry at Number 20 was the Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong composed I Can't Get Next to You sung by The Temptations. By this time, David Ruffin had exited the group and their sound was following a psychedelic-soul path, similar to that of Sly and the Family Stone. This track, included on the album Puzzle People, was a pop and R&B Number 1 song in the USA, while in the UK it peaked at Number 13.
