CC says that her number one was chosen as it is her all time favourite because she is a big Tamla fan and every time she hears the intro it sends shivers down her spine and takes her back to her teenage years when life was so uncomplicated. It's also a song that no matter how many times she hears it, she never gets tired of it.

Number One is by Marvin Gaye. This track entered the charts on the 12th February 1969 and got to the number one spot. It stayed in the charts for 15 weeks. It re entered again on the 26th April 1986 and got to number 8 and again stayed in the charts for a further 8 weeks.

Number 2 is by Robbie Williams. Robbie Williams was from Take That and when they parted company Robbie has gone on to being a popular solo artist. This record entered the charts on the 13th December 1997 and got to its highest place of number 4 but remained in the charts for 20 weeks.

CCHRISCA'S MUSICAL MEMORY

I remember going to a Slade concert many moons ago and there were two up and coming bands there called Thin Lizzy and Suzi Quatro. I wonder if they made the big time? lol
My best memory was going to see the Four Tops at the Lewisham Empire in their heyday and poor Levi Stubbs (the lead singer) had broken his leg and performed the whole concert perched on a stool with his leg in plaster. A GREAT gig nonetheless!!!!!
