Have the hits of 1971 stood the test of half a century of time slipping by since they were released? Sadly, in most cases the top selling singles have not: with only some exceptions the number one hits of 1971 are either not memorable \u2013 or memorable for the wrong reasons. Join us as we look back and ask ourselves: \u201cwhat were we thinking???\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fifty years ago, Marc Bolan and T Rex were entering their second week at the top of the Charts with <em>Hot Love<\/em> \u2013 so let\u2019s look at the song which hit the number two spot on 13th March 1971. It was \u201cAnother Day\u201d, by Paul McCartney \u2013 which was to sit just below Marc Bolan for six weeks. Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney not out-selling Glam Rock founder Marc Bolan? Yes: that\u2019s how popular Marc Bolan was \u2013 or maybe it was just the hint of a something new which he exuded that inspired the masses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Technically, this was a Paul McCartney and Wings song. Timewise, it could have been a Beatles song \u2013 and there are those who say that Wings was a vehicle for McCartney to continue what he did in the Beatles, and it ended when that was finally played out. McCartney himself saw Wings, and this single, as a new direction and a new sound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s the history, but what is striking about this song for the new listener is probably the lyrics. These are simple but evocative: the central character, and her whole story, come immediately to live \u2013 within a tune that is catchy enough but does not overpower the message. The transition from \u201cshe finds it hard to stay awake\u201d to \u201cshe finds it hard to stay alive\u201d is class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We can\u2019t find any contemporary live performances of <em>Another Day<\/em> to share with you, so here is something billed as the \u201cofficial promo\u201d which is an interesting watch, albeit one that has a very different view of life from that portrayed by the lyrics of the song. Glam Rock it ain\u2019t: but it very much deserves a listen.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/fDgxhE5wxi4<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>\u25cfListen to more Sounds on Sunday:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Sounds on Sunday<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cfWatch East London\u2019s weekly news magazine programme,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">live at 10pm every Tuesday and on demand all week:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VodTalk\"><em>The Tuesday Show<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FIFTY YEARS AGO the Charts recorded the best-selling \u201csingles\u201d of each week.
