1973 was a year of contrasts. Glam rock, that your dad
would have hated was in pole position for a big chunk of
the year. However for the rest of the year mushy pop melody's
from Donny Osmond, Peters and Lee and David Cassidy had
hits that your mum, gran and big sister would have loved.
Blockbuster and baby jive can still work Ok in a seventies
party today and no cheesy Christmas
party DJ's tool kit is complete without this years Christmas
number one record.
