Si on chantait van
Julien Clerc is deze week de hoogste nieuwe op nummer 25. Het prachtige You
are everything van Marvin Gaye en Diana Ross komt binnen op nummer 37. Op 45
horen we Blue Swede voor het eerst in de Top 50 met die prachtige uitvoering
van Hooked on a feeling. In die tijd luisterde ik nog wel ’s naar de AFN en
dankzij de zware geluidscompressie kwam Hooked on a feeling juist bij die
zender zo geweldig uit de luidspreker rollen. Love epidemic van de Trammps is
deze week de treiterschijf. De kanskaart van Ferry Maat is Spiders and Snakes
van Jim Stafford, een van mijn persoonlijke favorieten. Deze Top 50 kun
je hier beluisteren: En als extraatje de Onder de TOP 50 kun je de herinneringen van Michael
Downing lezen uit de tijd dat deze Top 50 werd uitgezonden en daaronder een
paar scans uit de Pop-telescoop van 30 Maart 1974. |

The RNI memories
of Michael Downing for this week in 1974 The last major change in the Dutch
service's DJ crew had happened in March 1974 with the departure of Hans ten Hooge
after his final programme on 17 March 1974. No other Dutch DJs would leave
between then and the closedown on 31 August 1974. The daytime programme
schedule at the end of March 1974 was: 6.00 Dick de Graaf 9.00 Branding (Non-stop, produced by John de
Mol Jr) 10.00 Ted Bouwens 12.00 Tony Berk
(with Prijs Bewust at
13.00) 14.00 Ferry Maat 16.00 Leo van der Goot (Driemaster) 18.00 - 20.00 Buitengaats (Marc van Amstel or
Erik Post live from the Mebo 2) The Super Top 50 show on Saturday 30
March 1974, presented by Ferry Maat as usual, was
from 12.00 to 15.00 and there were weekend programmes
presented by Piet Romer, Jan Boezeroen
and Willy en Willeke Alberti. The International service had had no change
in its DJ line up since Roger Kent had joined in mid-February 1974 and now
comprised, as well as Roger, Brian McKenzie, Don Allen, Robin Banks, Graham
Gill and Rob Eden, although Rob Eden was usually only heard on the
Contemporary Music programme early on Monday
morning. Other specialist shows on the International service were Brian
McKenzie's Rock'n'Roll Special on Friday evenings,
Don Allen's Country'n'Western Jamboree on Saturday
evenings, the Hitback Show presented by Roger Kent
from 20.00 to 22.00 on Sunday evenings and the RNI Request Show, presented by
Graham Gill, from 22.00 to 24.00 on Sunday evenings. In 1974, RNI mainly broadcast 24 hours a
day, only closing for transmitter maintenance between 4.00 and 6.00 on Monday
morning. On the other days of the week, the 4.00 to 6.00 slot was filled by
Skyline, in principle a non-stop music programme,
but with pre-recorded links by Louise Quirk, to give it the impression of
being a DJ presented show. The Toppers 20 show, the International
service's chart show in 1974, was broadcast on Friday night from 20.00 to
22.00, immediately before the Rock'n'Roll Special,
and was presented by Graham Gill on 29 March 1974. Although the chart was
loosely based on the UK chart, there were several records in the Toppers 20
in that week that were not UK hits, including "Might just take your
life" by Deep Purple at number 12, "I shall sing" by Garfunkel
at number 16 and "Soft soul boogie woogie"
by Wilson Pickett at number 18. As well as the Top 20, there was a Smash
Play, "Meadows" by Joe Walsh, and an LP Top 10, in no specific
order, which that week included the new LPs by Wilson Pickett, the Doobie Brothers, Deep Purple, Steely Dan, Queen, Cat
Stevens, Alvin Stardust, the Sutherland Brothers + Quiver and Mick Ronson, all heavily featured on RNI in the International
service during the week. So RNI was in good form at the end of
March 1974. Unfortunately, though, there were only 5 more months to
go........ |
