You Thrill Me To Pieces | Herbie's People | CBS 202005 |
The members of Herbie's People were still holding down day jobs while their first single was leaping up the Fab Forty. But despite the single's success on Radio London, the Thank Your Lucky Stars 'Oi'll give it Foive' girl, Janice Nicholls, voted it a 'Miss'. Unfortunately, as far as the Nationals were concerned, it was.
A full-page photo-feature penned by band member Michael Taylor, is here. More about the group and their Knees Club membership, is in the Fab Forty for 19th February 1967.

You Make It Move | Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich |
All Or Nothing | Patti LaBelle & her Belles |
My Ship is Coming In | Walker Brothers |
Eight Days a Week | Alma Cogan |
The Day Will Come | Rod Stewart |
Two additional climbers, My Ship is Coming In and Eight Days a Week, were discovered on the 'Dr Circuit' tape which came to light in March 2012. The recording features Dave Cash and Tony Windsor, from Saturday 27th November '65 between 0830 and 0930.
Wim van Genderen kindly added the highly collectable Rod Stewart climber The Day Will Come (a Barry Mason-penned protest song) in 2020. The previous year, a demo copy of Rod's first release on Columbia had sold on ebay for £310.
All Or Nothing | Patti LaBelle & Her Belles | Atlantic AT 4055 |
Confusion reigns as to whether Patti's backing group was billed as the Belles, Bluebelles, or indeed Blue-Belles, for their first Atlantic release, but according to Patti LaBelle's own site, the name on the label was Patti La Belle and the Bluebelles. The Bluebelles were Cindy Birdsong (who later replaced Florence Ballard in the Supremes) Wynona 'Nona' Hendryx and Sarah Dash.
