Record of the Year 1973: Linda Lewis - Rock a Doodle do


Whilst I kept changing my mind about the record of the year for 1972, to me there was just one it could be for 1973.

This was the first of four hits for Linda Lewis and this one to me is the one which brings out the best in her voice which has a five octave vocal range.

As I have said in my yearly review, 1973 was a year where the charts were dominated by glam rock and teen idols and to be honest none of that is my cup of tea. I could therefore imagine hearing a record like this at the time would be very refreshing to hear.

Linda Lewis is perhaps best know for "It's In His Kiss" which is her cover of "The Shoop Shoop Song", here only top ten single.
