Have You Ever Loved Somebody | Paul & Barry Ryan/Searchers |
Alan Field writes in September 2021:
"There's an interesting history regarding Have You Ever Loved Somebody and the two versions that charted on Big L, in that they DIDN'T shadow each other all the way up and all the way down the Fab 40. They spent many weeks bracketed together, however the Searchers entered the Fab 40 a week ahead (while Paul and Barry Ryan were still in the climber list) and also left the chart a week or two earlier (while Paul and Barry Ryan were still on their way down). As more sources have become available, there's a growing consensus that the Searchers' version of Have You Ever Loved Somebody remained on the Fab 40 this week, one week longer than previously thought. We've amended the chart to include the Searchers, sharing the #20 spot with the Paul & Barry Ryan version. This continues the pattern of joint listings over the last few weeks, but next week, 16th October, the Searchers' version had indeed been dropped and only the Paul & Barry Ryan version was being played."

The English Girl | Bruno | Parlophone R5507 |
Bruno's first release Wander Boy had been in the Fab Forty back in May. As we remarked then, the spelling of Bruno's surname seems to vary between Kretschmar, Kretzschmar and Kretchmar, which is probably why he decided to release singles under his first name. Unfortunately, The English Girl (its tune more familiar as Mendelssohn's Wedding March) fared no better than the first.
Bruno's singing career stalled, but he went on to greater things in the music industry, becoming MD of Intersong Music Ltd and in 1985, president of Chrysalis Music Worldwide
