70s Music Christmas 1977
The Christmas charts were so important in the 1970s, with not only the prestige of getting a Christmas hit, but a NUMBER One Christmas hit was the icing on the cake, the Christmas Cake.
During this Christmas Season we look at the music of Christmas Day 1977 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 24th December 1977.
No.5
Bing Crosby and White Christmas
The best selling single of all time written by Irvin Berlin who died in 1989.
Played by Bing on his radio show in 1941, and the next year appeared in the film "Holiday Inn", the song got to No.1 in 1942 for eleven weeks, and won a well deserved Academy Award.
Because of damage to the original master recording Bing re recorded it in 1947.
The film "White Christmas" in 1954 also had the song sung by Bing Crosby, although the original script called for someone else to sing it. Lucky they changed their minds.

No.1
Biggest selling record of all time (At the time) in the UK, "Mull of Kintyre", and the Christmas number one too. It was written about Paul’s Scottish home in Argyll.
This record even outsold some of the Beatles classics, and was non stop on the radio, but not really a hit in the US, who had the flip side "Girls school ".

70s Artist Watch: Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney and the Beatles split up in 1970, after making the world a richer place and making tunes that never die, but the legal ramifications took years before The Beatles were legally split in 1975.
The last Beatles album "Let It Be" in 1970, included the tracks "Get Back" and the "Long and Winding Road"
All the Beatles had hits after the group was dissolved, but McCartney was the one that seemed to have no problem with the hits continuing. The Beatles still had Greatest Hits out through the 1970s, and it therefore, kept Paul further in the public view, and maybe everyone was still hoping that The Beatles would get together, but as we know it never happened.
