6. Diary
A US No 15 hit in 1972
This week's splendid UK No 2 that didn't get to be the Number 1 it so deserved....
Maroon 5's splendid UK No 2 from 2011, Moves like Jagger.
This was kept from number 1 by 6 different singles - Stay Awake, All About Tonight, What Makes You Beautiful, No Regrets, Loca People and We Found Love
This week's #OneThatGotAway a record that was not a UK hit and should have been....
To 1966 we go, with this UK non-hit by singer/songwriter Laura Nyro - Wedding Bell Blues, a song that went all the way to US No 1 by 5th Dimension in 1969.
Laura died in 1997 of ovarian cancer, aged 49. RIP.

14. Let Your Love Go
A single taken from the 1971 Bread album Manna.
Only two songs from the album were released as singles - this one is not widely remembered, although the other one more than makes up for this...if you get my drift.

15. Mother Freedom
A 1971 single by Bread that was not a wistful love song! Reassuringly, there are a stack of those to come.
This week's splendid UK No 2 that didn't get to be the Number 1 it so deserved....
Denied being a chart topper by Lily Allen's Somewhere Only We Know in 2013, One Direction's mighty fine The Story Of My Life.
The song returned to the UK Top 10 in 2024 after Liam's death.
This week's #OneThatGotAway a record that was not a UK hit and should have been....
To 1973 we go ,with this UK non-hit that went all the way to US No 1.

If you thought Ringo's ridiculous nursery rhyme song would be my number one.....
1. For No One
That unusual sounding solo instrument is a french horn.

2. Got To Get You Into My Life
The track came together in the studio after the horn section was added, reminiscent of the Stax Memphis sound.
A version by Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers reached UK No 6 in 1966, produced by Paul.

3. And Your Bird Can Sing
At a time when the use of dual, harmonised lead guitar parts was still in its infancy in 1966, George and Paul innovate to give an unusual sound to this track.
In this scenario, cider is a fruit?
...and great when followed on the radio by this!
Your Generation - Generation X
Very concerned about actor Robert Patrick.
There is a security setting online that would stop him using the internet.... ;)
Great all round musician and front man.
Sadly missed. RIP
