# If you feel like doing it you could maybe sing

# I want to say something else

# Don't try to learn those steps, now That's not what soul is about

# There's really nothing to it You know you got it, so...

# Let it out

# When you're doing it you'll wanna dance all night

# Come on, get up and join the party

# Get on up and do the boogaloo, baby

APPLAUSE

Oh, yes indeed! My goodness gracious. Yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen, how about that?

All the way from Southampton, Honky is the name of the group, would you believe.

They're going to get to number one, definitely.

Ah! A touch of the Barbara Streisands, a cool-off straightaway.

# Ooh ooh ooh

# Love, soft as an easy chair

# Love, fresh as the morning air

# One love that is shared by two

# I have found with you

# Like a rose under the April snow

# I was certain that our love would grow

# Love, ageless and evergreen

# Seldom seen by two

BOTH: # You and I will make each night a first

# Every day a beginning

# Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed

# They warm and excite us

# Cos we have the brightest love

# Two lights that shine as one

# Morning glory and midnight sun

# Time, we've learned to sail above

# Time won't change the meaning of

# One love

# Ageless and ever...

# Ever...

# Green. #

APPLAUSE

Smile, smile, smile. I've found myself a disc jockey from Leeds, so he's going to do the work.

-What is the name of this group?

-The name is Blue.

-The title of the tune?

I'm Gonna Capture Your Heart.

Smile at the ladies and gentlemen. And it's number 27, ladies and gentlemen.

# Gonna take my soul to town

# Gonna set my spirit free

# Gonna capture your heart

# Right from the start You belong to me

# Gonna take my soul to town

# Gonna set my spirit free

# Gonna capture your heart

# Right from the start You belong to me

# If we could fly on our love

# Be like two birds high above

# Suspended by the magic bond of love itself

-#

-Ooh, ooh

-Only then I would send

-#

-Ooh, ooh ooh ooh

-The soulful word again

# The word is love Be certain of the one you love

# Gonna take my soul to town

# Gonna set my spirit free

# Gonna capture your heart

# Right from the start You belong to me

-#

-Capture your heart

-I'm gonna capture your heart

-#

-Capture your heart

Oh, yes, ladies and gentlemen. How about that, then?

Jimmy's had to disappear.

This is his twin brother Percy that's come on to say hello,

and we've got Mah Nah Mah Nah coming on now with Piero Umiliani,

and he couldn't actually say that, so I've had to say it for him. Thank you.

# Well, good morning, Judge, yes, I'm back again

# I'm in trouble so it's back to the pen

# I found a car, but I couldn't pay I fell in love, and I drove it away

# I fell in love, and I drove it away I fell in love, and I drove it away

# I fell in love, and I drove it away

# San Quentin is the place to be

# I'm so happy I don't want to be free

# So happy, I don't want to be free So happy, I don't want to be free

# I'm so happy I don't want to be free. #

APPLAUSE

A very musical evening. Sorry about that. Now, then.

It so happens, at 25, we've Got To Give It Up, the Marvin Gaye record with the one and only Legs & Co.

# I used to go out to parties

# And stand around

# Cos I was too nervous

# To really get down

# But my body yearned to be free

# I got up on the floor

# Somebody could choose me

# No more standin' there beside the walls

# Finally got myself together, baby

# Now I'm havin' a ball

# As long as you're groovin'

# There's always a chance

# Somebody watchin'

# Might wanna make romance

# Move your body, ooh, baby and dance all night

# To the groove and feel all right

# Everybody's groovin' on like a fool

# But if you see me spread out and let me in

# Baby, just party high and low. #

APPLAUSE

Ladies and gentlemen. Back, everybody. Smile, smile, smile.

At number 26, would you believe, Billy Paul and Let 'Em In. Right over our shoulders, over there.

Ah, I say. You been misled.

You been had. You been took.

# Someone's knockin' at the door

# Somebody's ringin' the bell

# Someone's knockin' at the door

# Somebody's ringin' the bell

# Do me a favour Open the door and let 'em in

# Ooh, child Let the beautiful people in

# Pauly Williams was my twin

# Elijah Malcolm, still our friend

# Brother Martin We can't forget John

# Bobby Maker, Louis Armstrong

# Y'all, now, let the folks in I wanna see my twin

# Let the folks in They be washing their sins... #

You know, America and Great Britain, they're at a unique position.

They're the only countries

actually to be involved in a bloodless revolution.

In order for it to come together, we've got to unite.

We've got to live in peace and harmony and tranquillity.

# Pauly Williams was my twin

# Elijah Malcolm, still our friend

# Brother Martin We can't forget John

# Bobby Maker, Louis Armstrong

# Lord, now, let the folks in I want to see my twin

# Let the folks in Let me wash my sin... #

I had a dream the duality of man was a reality to this day.

I will go out. I will go to the mountain top and despair.

We need black men, white men, red men, yellow men to come together.

So I will go to the mountain top and I will preach a sermon

and say, "Free at last, my brothers!

"Free at last, my brothers!"

# Somebody knocking at my door Somebody's ringing my bell

# Somebody knocking at my door Somebody ringing my bell

# Do me the favour Do me the favour, open up the door

# I wanna see if it's for me Strollin', strollin'. #

APPLAUSE

Ooh, yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen.

We have a lot of princesses, here. All these ladies, here. Right. Now then, what do we have now?

Dr Feelgood with one called "Lights Out" almost this very second. Yes, indeed.

# Standin' on my front porch Grabbed her and I kissed her

# Boy, I was surprised when I saw her little sister

# Lights out, lights out

# I'm glad now the lights were out

# Sister knows much more about What to do when the lights go out

# Lovin' on the front porch Talkin' on the swing

# I almost hear them weddin' bells ring

# Lights out, lights out

# I'm glad now the lights were out

# Sister knows much more about

# What to do when the lights go out

# Lovin' on the front porch Talkin' on the swing

I do hope, ladies and gentlemen, my brother's been looking after you, and sorry I had to disappear.

How about I should say to you, God bless, see you next week for another edition of Top Of The Pops.

How about that, then! Yeah!

# Three nights ago I was at a disco

# Man, she did a dip Almost broke my hip

# She was gettin' down That chick was gettin' down

# She wanted to bump some more But I told her, no

# You done knocked me down once You done knocked me down once... #
