PIPES OF PEACE, Paul McCartney
This whimsical song was at #1 on this date in 1984 and is one of his best IMHO.

It's a really forgotten one this time, by M, who gave us POP MUZIK in 1979. He followed it up with MOONLIGHT AND MUZAK and I put this up as it is a full moon tonight and I am told that it is a particularly pretty one.

BLACK WATER, The Doobie Brothers
It's interesting to note that whilst IF by Telli Savallas was topping the UK chart on the week ending March 15 1975, this considerably classier number was number one in the states. Really smooth and relaxing it is too.

This one entered the charts this week fifty years ago and tells a tale of lost dreams and failed ambitions. Only made #23 in the UK but really should have made the UK top 20.

Did you know that Mandinka are a West African tribe to be found in countries such as Somalia and The Gambia? Well, I didn't until today. Here's a top 20 hit in 1988 which has the word as its title.

The cold weather gives me the chance to put up my favourite disco track of 1983 - a single which peaked at #2 in the UK chart and iced up the club chart for ten weeks.

ALL THAT I AM, Elvis Presley
Happy heavenly birthday to Elvis, The King, who would have been 90 today. His output was gigantic. He had 11 singles that peaked at #9 in the UK, although this one, did half as well, managing a #18 in November 1966.

WALKING ON ICE, River City People.
I've been doing just that this evening and it's cold everywhere, so why not listen to this #62 hit from 1990?

Across much of the country, there's been snow - deep and crisp and even, so today, it's the first new hit to play on the first Radio 1 chart show of 1984. The single raced up to #6 and then raced back down the chart, nearly as quickly.
