RogerFoster 25th Jul 2016		Review This is one of the earliest copies of "Blues & Soul" in my possession and is mostly given over to the results of their 1970 Readers' Poll, which had been somewhat delayed due to a postal strike. I've posted images of the Top Albums of 1970 (Topped by "The Isaac Hayes Movement") and Top 1970 Singles ("Band Of Gold" by FREDA PAYNE won the award there), there were also other lists for Favourite Male Vocalist (topped by MARVIN GAYE), Favourite Female Vocalist (topped by ARETHA FRANKLIN), Vocal Group (THE TEMPTATIONS) and Instrumentalists (BOOKER T. & The M.G.'s). The award for the most promising act of 1970 (essentially the best "newcomers") went to CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD). Singles reviewer John Abbey's most tipped UK 45s were "Baby Let Me Kiss You" by KING FLOYD and "Warpath" by THE ISLEY BROTHERS. Other UK singles reviewed included the US smash "Want Ads" by THE HONEY CONE and EARTH WIND & FIRE's debut single "Help Somebody", though the only single reviewed that made The UK National Charts ended up being a reissue of a 1966 track - "Girls Are Out To Get You" by THE FASCINATIONS. The Top US "Soul" single at the time was Aretha Franklin's version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water", closely followed by Wilson Picketts "Don't Knock My Love" and the previously mentioned Honey Cone track, with the Number One LP being The Jackson Five's "Maybe Tomorrow" set. Meanwhile, back in Blighty, the top 2 UK singles were both revived .tracks from the mid '60s .. "Heaven Must Have Sent You" by The Elgins and Tami Lynn's "I'm Gonna Run Away From You", the Top LP being the compilation "Motown Chartbusters Volume 5".. Otherwise there was an article on Washington DC female vocal group THE FUZZ and some observations on The UK Soul Scene by DAVE GODIN. And all this for a mere twelve and a half (new) pence!! 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
