1. Since You've Been Gone - Arentha Franklin - Atlantic
2. La La Means I love You - The Delfonics - Philly Groove
3. I got the feeling - James Brown - King
4. If you can want - Smokey and the Miracles - Tamla

18. I thank you - Sam and Dave - Stax
19. All of my love - The Major 4 - Venture
20. A woman with the Blues - Lamp Sisters - Duke
The DJ goes on to tell us that next weeks chart favourites will be:
Competition Ain't Nothing - Little Carl Carlton - Back Beat
What is this - Bobby Womack - Minit
Your eyes may shine - The short cuts - Pepper
Security - Etta James - Chess
Tighten Up - Archie Bell & the Drells - Atlantic
The super pick of the week was - Cowboys to Girls -The Intruders - Gamble. The recommended Album was Doin Our Thing - Booker T and the M G's - Stax.
Well 40 years has passed and I think everyone will agree that on that day in Detroit the DJ would not have guessed that we would still be playing most of these tunes and have our Northern Soul - Respect to Detroit and Keep the Faith.
Thanks to Soul Survivor for the information.
