Nyki mentioned one, but other number ones while this was on were:

19th April - Desmond Dekker and The Aces: The Israelites

26th April to 31st May - The Beatles with Billy Preston: Get Back

7th June - Tommy Roe: Dizzy

And of all four I have only ever heard(of) one of them and that's Dizzy.

 Huh?  The Israelites was the first ever cross-over reggae hit in Britain, and one of the best.  And the Beatles - well, were the Beatles.  Get Back was the one they did on the roof of the Apple building, which was their last ever live performance.

Midnight Cowboy was the number one film at the box office. Never seen it though.

I loved it at the time (or soon after, at any rate) but I'm not sure what I'd think of it now.
