Top Of The Pops Opening February 27th 1969
Taken from a show from early 1969. As many know many shows were recorded over in the 60s and 70s so its so good to see the few surviving shows!

commented:
@Gauraonline Unfortunately, video tape in those days was VERY expensive so keeping these recordings was not seen (at the time) as economically justified. TOTP was one BBC programme that was particularly affected by the policy of wiping. Of the first 500 episodes (1964–73) only about 20 complete r...

I want to go to the Overworld (music)
In the early 70's there was a children's program called 'Little Big Time' hosted by the late great Freddie Garrity. This music comes from 'Oliver i...

@egapnala65 Sadly, this was shown in the era when both BBC and ITV embarked on mass wipings of recorded telly programmes mainly due to the prohibitive cost (at the time) of videotape. Sad that so many gems of programmes, and particularly kids programmes, from the 60s and early part of the 70s are...

Leo Sayer - I Cant Stop Loving You (TOTP2)
I like this song, Im not a big fan of Leo
giftednumber10
commented:
@mkcwebmaster Solo singers like Leo Sayer invariably had to sing live on TOTP (with the dreadful TOTP orchestra/backing vocalists) due to the very strong Musician's Union at the time. If you were a conventional band you could get away with miming to a supposedly newly recorded version of your hit...

commented:
@smartd1973 The backup singers and the ever dreadful TOTP orchestra permanently had off days. Unfortunately in those days for solo artists or groups of singers that didn't have their own backing band, they had to make do with the awful TOTP orchestra/backing vocalists backing them as they weren't...

Don't know why they got Elton John to host this particular TOTP. His presenting is as wooden as a coffin factory.

Introduced by Dave Lee Travis
giftednumber10
commented:
One of my all time fave records. Sadly, although Lee Garrett's vocals are great, the performance as usual is spoiled by the omnipresent TOTP orchestra who time and time again proved they couldn't 'do' any form of 70s black music whether it be Motown, Philly Soul or Disco.

An excellent song and vocal from Al spoiled only by the terminally dreadful TOTP orchestra backing him. Backing vocals weren't too hot neither. The TOTP orchestra just couldn't 'do' Motown/Philly Soul/Disco in the 70s
