In Memory Billy Jo Spears 2011

December 2011 saw the death of country singer Billie Jo Spears aged 74. Born in 1937 Billie was with Capitol Records when she recorded such classics as Ode To Billie Joe and Harper Valley PTA, but those were all from the 1960s.

Eurovision Song Contest 1975 and 76/77

After the previous excitement of Brighton last year and the win by Abba, the Eurovision became even more important. This was 1975, and the contest was held in Sweden. The  British entry was The Shadows with Let Me Be The One. A record that did nothing really, although it managed to limp into 9th place.

Not a hit in the UK, but a big No. 1 in the U.S. for Neil along with Elton John, who joins him on this single. The record was written by Neil and Phil Cody.

Lyrics to Bad Blood

Island Girl by Elton John

Elton stayed at No. 1 again with this great single  from his album "Rock of the Westies". Amazingly the lyrics are about a man trying to take a prostitute (could even be a gay prostitute) back to Jamaica. Elton himself did not "come out" until many years later.

MARCH

Have You Never Been Mellow by Olivia Newton John

From the album of the same name, and won Olivia a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, but although released as a single in the UK it never reached the charts. The song was written by John Farrer who was once a member of the Shadows.

Olivia  was also in a film this year called "The Other Side Of The Mountain", all about a female skiing champion is paralyzed in a tragic skiing accident. Her girlfriend is taken out of competition when she contracts polio.

Of course in 70s music Olivia would have a lot more hits on the way.
