UK POP CHART HISTORY - FEBRUARY 1972

An interesting chart topper this week from Maidstone's finest four piece Chicory Tip. On this, their fifth 7 inch platter, they employed the talents of songwriter and synth pioneer Giorgio Moroder, who co-wrote this synth pop masterpiece with Pete Bellotte. 'Son Of My Father' secured its place in pop history by becoming the first UK chart topper to feature a synthesiser.
