During this Christmas Season we look at the music of Christmas Day 1970 and highlight those Christmas records to stir the memory of the 70s music.
Having to use a bit of editorial control here to decide what was a Christmas hit, so if it does not match your criteria, apologies.
This chart comes from the 2oth December 1975.
No.18
Dana and It's Going To Be A Cold Cold Christmas Without You
One of my dads favourites here. After her appearance on the 1970 Eurovision song contest "All kinds of everything", she was also an actress and a future Irish politician.
No.17
Judge Dread and Christmas in Dreadland
From Brixton South London, Alexander Minto Hughes as was a white reggae singer, but also he used to make "naughty" singles too. He made ELEVEN hits that were banned by the BBC and other broadcasters, and most charted but could never be played, and this was one of them.
He died in 1998 as he came off stage from a heart attack.
Here is the record on the Cactus label.
