RRM/BBC chart Supplied by BMRB REcollgo MIRROR denied the top spot Charles Aznavour keeps number one. The Drifters cause a sensation. They hit two. Gary keeps in the top three.

THERE are quite a few stars putting some of the old sho w-biz• rassamatazz back into roc k and roll but if you had to name just ONE really important one, who would you choose? For me, there's no argument . . . I'd plump for the arch lounge- lizard Bryan Ferry. He's a true Great One, that's for sure. He's an innovator, an original. As a solo performer, he's distinctive. But then there is Roxy Music, which after a shaky start, have gone on to provide music which defies categorisation and is like nothing that went before. In a desperate effort to put the band, and Mr. Ferry, into a specific bag, critics have described them as providing nostalgia, harking back to the 1930s and 1940s. But nothing could be further from the truth. The band, and front man Bryan, are firmly entrenched in the 1970s. And their music reflects today. This man Bryan Ferry was born in Washington, County Durham. A bleak outpost in the Far North. Washington, despite that grand- sounding name, is a mining town which Bryan says has changed a lot in the past few years. "It's a big place now. It's a shame, because the size means it's lost a lot of its character." He was born on September 26, 1945, which makes him a Libra, one of the "loving" people. The balancing characteristics of the sign certainly work together to make him a good leader of a group. Educated first locally and then at University in Newcastle, nearby. "A bit unfortunate — I think it would have been nice to come down to London for a while. But what I wanted to do most in those days was paint pictures, and Newcastle certainly had the best facilities for that. A really fine art department in the University. They give you a huge studio and tell you to do your own thing. Much better than say going to the Royal College of Art. "I remember well the teacher I liked best Richard Hamilton. But I found myself in a varied pop- orientated world. I'd started playing in a group between leaving school and going to University. "I was singer and harmonica player with what was really a blues group. We played the working men's clubs. So I started another group when I got to University. We gigged around , then broke up. Next year I started another - called Gasboard. Basically an eight-piece, sometimes nine. Three saxes. And we got to be quite professional. Trouble was the rest of the band decided to leave, but I wanted to stay on. "We'd been playing other peoples numbers, mainly by American R and B people . . . by Bobby Bland, sometimes Elvis Presley.
