Lee Marvin was completing his third and final week as the UK Number 1 on a chart that was relatively quiet this week in 1970.

The only new song to break into the twenty was a wonderful reggae cover of a track co-written by Nina Simone: Young, Gifted and Black. Although several other big names had recorded the song, Aretha Franklin and Donny Hathaway among them, it was Bob Andy and Marcia Griffiths who had the hit in the UK. It would eventually go Top 5:

 

Rolf Harris managed to re-enter the twenty at No. 20, but apart from this, we would have to wait another week before some new tracks made an appearance.

Until next time...
