Broken Wings by The Stargazers (10/4/53, 1 Week)

Broken Wings by The Stargazers

This is a notable one! This is the first British song to reach Number One on the UK charts.  Unfortunately – did you know there would be one of those? – it’s a drab old choice.  The backing is some sort of organ playing very little in the way of music, and the harmonies are notably less harmonious than many of the American offerings of the time.  “With broken wings no bird can fly,” sing The Stargazers, prophetically, never to be heard of again.
