SHORTS

OLIVIA Newton-John's current hit A Little More Love is another song by Australian John Farrar, who wrote You're The One That I Want.

Some of you may remember Farrar from a trio he formed in 1970 with Bruce Welch and Hank Marvin of The Shadows. They called themselves Marvin Welch & Farrar, but split up after two albums when Bruce Welch became ill as a result of the end of his engagement to Olivia Newton-John.

Best of 1978

LOOKING BACK at 1978 from the fresh pastures of a new year, it's not difficult to see those three towering infernos, Saturday Night Fever, Thank God It's Friday and Grease, blazing all over the distant skyline.

The movies, albums, singles, badges, medallions, T-shirts and, for all I know, printed knickers that combined to make the biggest marketing campaigns of last year certainly paid off for their shareholders. But let me not be too cynical about the Big Three.

How could anyone complain about a year which has seen such superb singles as Stayin' Alive and You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) up there alongside Radio Radio and Down In The Tube Station At Midnight? Or You're The One That I Want and Summer Nights, a brace of timeless pop gems, sharing chart space with the likes of YMCA and it Me With Your Rhythm Stick? Travolta was clearly Man Of The Year in '78, though here at Smash Hits we reckon that lan Dury gave John boy a run for his money.
