Top Of The Pops (03/02/1977)

Kid Jensen is here to present some super sounds... the chart doesn’t seem a great deal different from last week though.

Thin Lizzy - don’t believe a word
Starting off with a bit of rock, feels like a repeat. They do the next big screen effect though with the audience pretending to know they can dance in front of it. It gives me school disco flashbacks.

Gary Glitter - it takes all night long
Wow it is indeed him! The BBC could have cut it but happily didn’t so we can creep out watching the vile man in a silver suit crooning a slow song. What takes him all night long just shouldn’t even be considered in the slightest...

Legs & Co. perform a retro sound in the charts by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, as in “don’t leave me this way”. Just thank God it wasn’t Gary Glitter doing this song. The girls dance nicely in matching grey gowns.

Boz Scaggs - what can i say
Film footage of Boz who seems to have the population of a small country on stage with him.

The Real Thing - you’ll never know what you’re missing
Nice suits and a huge hat. Its a slow song with the lead vocalist doing all the work for half the song, the other 3 members standing on the stage looking somewhat out of place until they get the chance to join in.

Silver Convention - everybody’s talking about love
Another repeat, its pleasingly awful.

The Rubettes - baby i know
The Rubettes go country rock, it was all the rage of course in the mid to late 70s. Its a nice enough song but blander than a wallpaper shop that only sells beige.

David Soul - don’t give up on us
No he ain’t here. We gave up.
