This is a great resource and very useful. Thank you.
Would you believe I was in the Alfred Hospital having my spleen removed and I was 8 years old in 1971. I have vivid memories of listening to Ted Mulry singing Falling In Love Again around that time. I’ve just seen the list of hits for 1971 and all the memories have come flooding back! The seventies were the greatest without a doubt! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
